I was in M/S yesterday buying some new knickers[always get them from there, best quality] and at the racks of knickers were a couple about my age. The bloke was holding up different pairs and saying:- "These are pretty dear". FAIR ENOUGH

I made my purchases and moved down to PER UNA to see if there were any bargains to be had on the sale rails. blow me down the same couple turned up there, and going through the same process!!

Now, not a lot irritates me frankly, but men in lingerie and dress departments just gets on my pip. Mr N would NEVER dream of that and to be frank I wouldn't want him there anyway, I am quite capable of selecting my own underwear and outer clothing.

I just find it a bit odd really, probably just me.

Anyway, Wey Hey !

Oh, and this is a brilliant way to put off doing the ironing smile

Why?
Do you think there are topics that men know nothing about? We cannot multi task as well as the Female species; but we can be quite versatile!

Ladies browsing gentlemen's underwear wouldn't bother me in the least.

In the past, I have purchased female underwear for my wife, daughter and for my late Mum, when she was in Hospital. That never bothered me either.

Only when I stumbled upon this thread did I realise that some women could be so narrow minded. Seems the attitude of some is quite PANT'S! shock

Thanks Nytsom, I posted earlier on the thread (Wed 27th 14.15pm) that women are often to be found in the men's dept.

I'm glad to know that my husbands weren't alone in buying underwear for their wife.

We are NOT all narrow minded NYTSOM, some of us can be quite racy, when we put our minds to it.

I see you a Newbie , welcome abroad and enjoy!!

Ladies browsing through gentlemen's underwear? I think not, indeed! The only persons having acess to my drawers are the the gardener, and the memsahib on special occasions. Sadly, we can't afford a butler any more.

Oh PAPA, don"t tell me you don"t allow MRS PAPA to buy your undergarments, is that not wives are for, purchasing your combinations !
grin

Thanks for the welcome.
Seem life itself, sometimes directs us to situations that look to be unusual for the opposite sex.

Nytsom you must feel you have hit the ground running when you joined all us old ravers on GN yesterday. Little did you think you would be into a variety of knickers so quickly. grin

Wait till you join us on one of our virtual parties which includes alcohol, food, pole dancing and incontinence paraphernalia. hmm

papaoscar Fri 29-Aug-14 19:41:09

My combinations are well and truly locked, Nonu, trouble is I can't get out!

NanKate Fri 29-Aug-14 19:43:32

That's the safest place to keep you PapaO.

Hide the key, quick!

If I didn't purchase DH's combinations regularly he would be walking around in rags.

Nytsom the vodka jellies and the whacky baccy at the virtual parties are something else.
However you do have to watch out for Donald/Duncan the cat/dog!
