Ok guys, what do your women typically wear for underwear and what do you prefer? Women, what is your underwear of choice?
In your guy's opinions, are bikini briefs acceptable for a woman to wear, or are thongs a must?

I am a guy, and I like to buy things for my wife. Yes I buy her lingerie, but I also buy swimsuits (she wouldn't by what I buy) and clothes that she can wear out in public. I do my best to take into consideration her tastes and her comfort zones. Many times when we go out, I will ask her what she would like me to wear, and she will ask what I would like her to wear. Sometimes when I am in the mood, as a hint, I will set out something sexy that I would like to see her in. So I often suggest things for my DW to wear and most of the time she pleases me in that regard.

I do not get that 'visible panty line' thing for two reasons. First off, I have seen the outline (not the top of the thong staring out, just the outline) underneath pants many, many times. Now those pants are TIGHT. So don't try to tell me it's because you don't want lines under your clothing - I think it's so everyone can see exactly *what* kind of underwear you're wearing.

Secondly, we can tell when someone is wearing a bra. There are 'bra lines', unless you've got a really heavy sweater on. Or they wear skimpy little tops with their bra straps hanging out. So why isn't that a problem in regards to the 'lines showing' issue?

I like a bit of mystique myself. Keep 'em guessing - much more interesting than when they can see it all, because they'll come back for a second (and third) look. I remember once at the big holiday gala, DH and I were slow dancing next to my boss and his wife. I had a long black dress on, rather covered up on top, but with a high slit up one side of the skirt. And I happened to see my boss - who was a *very* married man and one I liked and respected very much - do this hysterical double/triple take at the flash of leg that kept appearing from my skirt. He never saw me watching him and I never said a word about it - but his peeks said volumes.

For the OP, DH really doesn't care what kind of underwear I wear, provided it comes off easily. And they all do. I buy pretty matching colors for *me*. If I feel sexy, he reaps the benefits.

>>(Westie, do you get Kath and Kim?)<<

Look-at-me,look-at-me look-at-me look-at-me look-at-melook-at-me...
Yeah, we get Cath & Kim.... :-)

My partner wears a variety of stuff. For comfort and practicality she prefers cotton briefs and has granniepants too. But day-to-day she usually wears bra and bikini briefs, maybe a g-string. She'll commonly wear a T shirt bras with a moulded, seamless cup. Rarely does anything match as it's usually picked for comfort more than what it looks like.

If we're out for a night out she'll usually match some of the nicer underwear or lingerie. It can be anything from the T-shirt bra with matching bikini or thong bottoms through to bra and bikini pants or thong to a black lace bustier and g-string, but is commonly just bra and bikini pants. Depends a lot on the occasion and what looks best under the outfit.
She never goes without underwear.

Once in a blue moon on those rare really dressy, more formal occasions (or if she's feeling sexy in the bedroom and wants to treat me) she'll wear bra or bustier, briefs and garterbelt and stockings.

I don't think that anything especially thongs are compulsory. There are times that a thong will work better than pants if you want to avoid VPL. Sometimes a half-cup bra will give better cleavage and not show any straps under a low-cut top better than a full-cup bra. But wear what you want to wear, after-all it's all underneath your clothes.

Nothing wrong with that, not at all. But that's totally different from a man saying that he doesn't ever want his woman to wear 'regular' underwear (ie, grannypants), or saying he only gets off on thongs.

My GF wears 'grannypants' but the silky ones. Her sis calls them her 'silk monsters', lol.

From this guys point of view and preference, I like something with a good deal of cheek showing. She doesnt like thongs for her own personal reasons.
I prefer to see some small tufts of hair peeking out from the front waistband or leg openings, seems erotic to me.

My choices would be :
string bikini
boy short
tanga

Mostly I wear nothing or thongs, they have to be string thongs. For me all undies end up riding up so I prefer them to start there with minimal material. It is very rare for anyone else even dh to see them but I don't think dh has a preference. Women in the locker room at the gym are the more likely to see them lol. I even wear a camisole and tuck it down my pants so that my undies don't peek out when I sit down. Sometimes I wear the boy short style, sometimes I wear bikinis (more often in the winter rarely in the summer). I really could care less about what type of undies dh wears I can't imagine guys spending much time thinking about everyday undies.

Hmmm...I think she wears regular panties. Nothing fancy like a thong or lace or anything like that. Just squeeze her into some tight jeans or a teasing nightie, and I'm good with that, LOL, fiiiiiiiiiiine by me! :p

Under skirts and dresses I don't wear underwear. Any other time it is bikinis. Men seem to like none the best, nothing to get in their way I guess!

I spent lots of time freting about what equated to sexy underwear.

The answer is so simple what ever makes your butt look hot.

The man might suggest something but if it's uncomfortable or looks plain stupid you are not going to feel sexy and he will know it. My red cotton full briefs (not quite granny nickers)
got lots of use as I was at ease in them and my mood made him frisky. We morned there death due to old age.
