Underwear - In other words, "panty lines"

[Quinn]

This has always been my nemesis! What do you wear, especially to show in?

Does anyone still wear "underalls?" I would love to have some input.

I just do the "granny panty" thing. You still get a line under the butt, but at least it looks better than the bikini line I would have otherwise.

[Canter]

Quinn I found some no-line panties at Bakers Saddlery...I think they were designed for DQ's but they're pretty neat. Double lined but really comfortable...only drawback is they look like Granny pants.

Are you too old for a thong? lol*

Been a thong-wearer since they were invented. Those who are uncomfortable wearing them are wearing ones that are too small.

[Bebe]

Yikes...

Thong whilst I am riding? Talk about annoying... I just wear regular underwear... besides.. you can kinda tell who's wearing a thong or not.. panty lines are sooo normal in Canada... You can kinda tell who's wearing a thong or not...

I do have the solution. I actually found them on the internet. Everyone at the barn was "agast", that I found them on the internet. I can't remember but I will try to find the right link.
They are like 6 pr. for $8.00 or something, but they are all cotton with no elastic at the leg like granny pants (we all know how that rubs in the heat)instead these have a band that sits on your leg kind of like "hot pants". The end result no panty lines.

I don't think I'd be comfy in a thong anytime much less while riding and after seeing a friend get rubbed raw!! (could see the blood stains thru the back of her buff jeans between the pockets) would not be anxious to try it. Ouch!

[VTrider]

Thongs really aren't that hard to ride in.

A friend of mine wears panty horse under her breeches to solve the panty line problem.

[Alida]

Too funny... the "panty line" under breeches thing makes me nuts too! Several years ago, I discovered the solution for me was to wear "compression" shorts underneath my breeches. My local workout/athletic gear store carries them. They are knee length, and made of a light weight lycra/cotton/coolmax blend. They are snug enough not to ride up my thigh but not so tight as to feel like I'm in a girdle. They have no center seam, and are designed to be worn in place of underwear. I find them really comfortable, and as an additional benefit, they give my thighs and lower back a little extra support. I started wearing them for the "look" and find that my legs and back are a lot less tired at the end of a horse show.

So how do they look?? Well, my husband made one of his rare appearance at the hunter ring (which he calls the watching-paint-dry competition) this year to watch me horse show. At one point he cornered me with this bemused and hopeful look on his face and actually asked me if I was wearing anything under my breeches! "What would possibly give you that idea?", I asked. "Well, you're the only one here who doesn't have any underwear lines" came his response. Rolling my eyes, I explained about the compression shorts and watched as the hope slowly ebbed from his expression.....

Way to funny Alida!!!! /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

I prefer the thong way myself, If you get the really comfortable soft cotton ones, (not to small) they're really comfortable. And you don't have that self concious feeling and underwear picking.
As for People will "know", who cares....life must be pretty boring to care what the competition has under their jods. hee,hee As long as your comfortable and happy.

Oooh, what to do with a husband with pantylines? I so hated the panty lines under my husband's breeches that I ended up buying him many, many pairs of cotton knit boxers from Joe Boxer. I also bought him a thong http://www.chronofhorse.com/ubb/eek.gif He wears the boxers.

LOVE Joe Boxer! My sister in law was production manger for them in San Francisco until recently getting lured away by Gap/Old Navy/Banana Republic corp. So needless to say, ALL of my undies are Joe Boxer~ love em! /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif SUZ

[Badger]

I did the underall thing for horseshow no problem, but then I wore them a couple of times foxhunting, and , well, never again!!! The seam up the back of the panty-hose, from crotch to waiste, rubbed me raw! I guess it was a combination of persperation and friction and time-in-the-saddle that wasn't a problem for horse shows with breaks between rounds, but with 4-plus non-stop hours foxhunting it was an entirely different story! I'd rather have pantylines than be rubbed raw any day.

[Flash44]

Gross, CFS!

Yes, you occasionally need to wear thongs in a larger size than you would normal undies. I'll have to try the compression shorts thing if they really help your back. I have been having lower back problems lately.

My husband's legs are so skinny that the bike shorts he wears under his soccer shorts are almost baggy.

[Quinn]

VTrider: What the hay are panty horse? Sorry, couldn't resist.

Alida, "compression" shorts sound like just the thing. I will call around today. Do you not get a line though just above the knee?

I too have tried a thong but really didn't like that experience. And, I have tried the granny undies. I wore a new pair for my lesson last week and started to laugh when I looked down and saw a bunched up mass of underwear ABOVE my breeches waistband! Oh yeah, that's a pretty picture. Thanks for the suggestions, this has always made me crazy and hopefully now I can say I have solved one of my major issues.

[Mazzy]

A most excellent topic! I too tried the thong thing (being a devout user during office hours) under TS. By the end of the lesson, I'm pretty sure with a bit of extra effort I could have blown those things out of my nose! It almost took minor surgery to remove and I consider myself lucky to have survived to tell my fellow BBers.

Congrats to anyone that can consistently ride in them.....you should receive the Strongest Butt Cheeks award /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif Many receipients appear to be Canadian too...perhaps I need to revisit my roots and I too could declare "I HAVE NO PANTYLINES, MY THONG RULES".

That's because many of us used to buy them at Marks & Spencers; alas they are no more.

[Quinn]

Okay Maz, I don't know about blowing thongs out through the nose but I know I just blew coffee out mine when I read your post. Too funny. I only rode in a thong once but I can certainly "mirror" your experience.

Bebe - please know that what I am about to write in strictly in jest...

OK, first off, I look at it this way, who wants to see someone's nasty old granny panty lines. You know what is even worse? Is when you can see the line of the crotch of the panty..and no, someone doesn't have to be bending over or going over a jump for you to see it.

Next, my feelings on "you can tell when someone is wearing a thong". God forbid a man should know I'm wearing a thong! It might turn him on! And what woman cares that another is wearing one? When it's all said and done, for the most part, we're all women at the shows around here, whether there are males or females. The gay guys really don't care if I'm wearing floss for Pete's sake and if it does something for a straight guy, well, point him out to me. /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[L Scott]

Eaton's(sigh) made fantastic(can they be) granny pants with lace and no elastic. very fine article of clothing for the riding woman.

My hubs tried the riding thing and looked sooo good in his breeches(no panty lines) that all the ladies at our barn asked him if he would wear them whether he was interested in riding or not. He would show up with breeches on and a huge t-shirt which he would continually pull down over his bottom. All the barn girls would hide in the barn and slowly make their way to the ring to watch him ride. He still hasn't gotten over it ten years later. I think he was harrassed out of riding!

I was laughing so hard at the thought of me in a thong that..... forget it.

My trainer swears by ice skating tights. They "hold everything in" if you know what I mean.

hmm, never thought about that. In theory, they would definately work though. LOL, and my mom thought she was done buying skating apparel when I switched over to riding.

[lillian]

I just let my cellulite and panty lines hang out there for all to see. One thing I don't do, is wear my TS too tight. A little more room goes a long way in preventing panty lines. Let's face it, unless you're built like Kate Moss, breeches are not the most flattering apparrel. I'm 5'10" and weigh around 135 -- not fat at all -- but I cringe everytime I have to put a pair of breeches on. You have to be built like a stick for them to truly look good on you! The only people I see at shows who look good in breeches are the itty bitty kids riding the ponies!

[HN73]

No underwear lines?

Easy answer....no underwear. I guess my secret is out.

[Jo]

Do any of the E-searchers remember this topic that went on on the old board? It wasn't show-specific but I was ROFLMFAO at all the replies it got.

[Jo]

Either/or... I think people have more things to do than worry about what kind of undies I am wearing, and if they don't then I don't want to know they're thinking about what kind of undies I am wearing.

I wear thongs when appropriate -- I canNOT go out in my "hick clothes" with a panty line. But riding would probably be another thing and I've found a couple of pairs that hardly show under TS's.

There's a story that comes up at every show about one of our riders who wore a thong, and her breeches split out... How embarassing would that be... http://www.chronofhorse.com/ubb/eek.gif

[Anyplace Farm]

I gotta say...all of this is making me giggle lots. /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[Canter]

Thanks everyone for the laffs. I'm still wiping the coffee out of my keyboard.

If someone was wearing a thong and their breeches split oh LOL!! Just so long as it wasn't me. Personally I'd be even more embarrased if my granny pants were seen by one and all flapping in the breeze.

[Skipper]

MAZ + Quinn- I laughed SO hard when I read your posts that my eyes started to water and I'm sure the women in the next office thinks I'm wacky. Way TOOOOO funny!

[Kachoo]

Lilian - hear, hear! After a long, fruitless quest for the perfect invisible yet comfy underwear, I came to the shattering realization that they just don't exist. Or, that if they do, they're too much bloody trouble to find anyway. So, now every time I put my breeches on over my regular old undies, I cheerfully recall that one of the beautiful things about doing the jumpers is not having to worry very much about appearance if you don't really feel like it. If my little heart so desired, I could wear a clown suit, so panty lines - bah! /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Canter, stop!!! I'm visualizing http://www.chronofhorse.com/ubb/eek.gif

[Anyplace Farm]

The split breeches and thong thing is what sent me over the edge too. I could so see that happening to me. I still can't stop chuckling... Thanks for the Friday laughs, all!

Well, while I'm here, I'll add something else. A while back, someone posted "Most Embarrassing Moments" but mine was not horse related.

Remember when thigh highs were the rage? Well, of course, I had to rush out and get a pair. While walking from my car to the Metro, I felt them slip a little, praying they would stay up until I got on the train, it finally came and I sat down. Got in the station, started to walk, things weren't feeling very secure. Went up the escalator at Farragut West and darted into the nearest elevator (no bathrooms nearby). Hit the top floor button, made adjustments, hit L and got back off. Made it to the corner of 19th and L (for those of you who aren't familiar, this is a MAJOR intersection in DC). Started to walk across and I'll be damned, both fell around my ankles while I was in the cross walk, right in front of these two cab drivers.

I decided I would try to pull it off gracefully instead of running with them around my ankles for the nearest doorway to hide. I put my foot up on the curb and inched them back up. I happened to see one was laughing sympathetically at me. Or is that with me? Anyway, I had to collect myself after that so I stepped into a bus booth. There were two other women in there. Everything was silent for like two seconds and then all of a sudden, we all burst into laughter!

I ended up going into a Mrs. Fields and begging the guy in there to let me use his bathroom so I could get the things off and put on a pair of dollar panty hose that I bought from the street vendor. He let me and much to my surprise, just when I was about to put the trash in the can in the bathroom, lifting the lid revealed that was where they kept the cookie dough bags.

Anyplace....you hit the point. Now if the gay / straight percentage would just shift, I'd plug my nose and learn to enjoy butt flossing my way through the jumpers. Afterall, that's what I do all day long in an effort to end the single NY life. And it ain't as hip as looks on TV.

P.S. This computer thing confounds me...how do you do the bold quotey thingy....mine didn't turn out right. I think it all the stress caused by Friday's thong, although I have Canadian roots, I do not have Canter's Strongest Butt Cheek Award yet!! I have to concentrate.

OH, yes, I remember! It really brought out the trolls as I recall - as did the "How does a short person get onto a tall horse" topic! http://www.chronofhorse.com/ubb/eek.gif In fact, I was almost afraid to open this here thread. http://www.chronofhorse.com/ubb/eek.gif But I'm glad I did - MAZ, I rarely laugh out loud as I read this board, but your post...well, let's just say the tears were rolling down my cheeks! /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[OlmosHeaven]

Enough, enough! Everyone's thinking I'm having way too much fun for a Friday morning.

[Mazzy]

Yeah, I hit the little button thing and it didn't work right for me. Perhaps I shall pray to the Thong God for strength ('cause you know those that can are the strongest) and try again. My new theory, perhaps all riding throng wearers can answer, do those that can wear a thong while riding (day time clothes don't count...) have boyfriends / husbands? 'Cause I think I'm determined to try again if there is a positive correlation.

You never asked me for my opinion...

[Anyplace Farm]

Jair, you wouldn't care that I was wearing the thong. You would just want to know if it was Natori, Cacharel or Wacoal.

[WHOA!]

who was it who said to just get TS's that fit right? How, pray tell, do you do that? I tried going up a size so that I wouldn't have to ask random people to zip them up for me anymore, but when I did the waist was gigantic and it came up to my armpits. I got them taken in but they still came up to my armpits and plus now the butt looks kind of wierd. I think my underwear are the least of my problems...

[Quinn]

MAZ, to witness that, I will happily lend you my orange touque!

[B.G.M. heidi]

Gee, the songs going through my head now, starting with the "Thong Song", ending with "Who Let the Thong Out, eek, eek, eek, eek" in MAZ's honour.

BTW, MAZ, all men LOVE thongs - under Tailored Sportsmans, overalls, a demure little black dress. Like Ms. Lewinsky, though, you must advertise the fact that you're, indeed, grimacing through a pair. To that end, I believe wearing them around your neck in the jumper ring will also work. /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[Mazzy]

And orange is my color too!!! Perhaps black thong, orange touque....a Halloween motif. And before all you smart ass BBers reply.....yes it would be scary.

Be afraid folks, be very afraid.

[Mazzy]

Okay, I just spit my Snapple all over the key board. Classic.

I'm picturing a victory gallop with a thong around my neck...and you know, to go w/ the riding motif it should definately be monigrammed. It would start a trend.

And Whoa: on the TS thing, I hear ya. If underwear line was my only problem I'd rule...however, I too have sizing issues. I buy one size large, wash in hot water, shrink in dryer and try not to look in the mirror as I leave the house.

[Anyplace Farm]

Why can't the thong just double as a harness for your helmet? Think of the comfort factor and fashion statement. Certain BBers here would of course have to flaunt certain labels. And you all know who you are.

[Hephaistion]

You've got that righ Anyplace. Everyone knows that the label is more important than the item.

I personally go for the lycra exercise shorts under the breeches to remove any unseemly underwear lines. (In case anyone wanted a male opinion that is) /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[Anyplace Farm]

Well, Jair, if you scroll back a bit, honey, you are supposed to switch up to skating undies. According to that poster, they "hold everything in place, if you know what I mean." I think that was how it was put.

[Quinn]

I have to ask this question because it is something that has always eluded me. Now, for a little delicacy here........wait, I'm thinking on how to word this just right.....Okay, okay, how would you adhere something which can sometimes be needed if you know what I mean when in the "thong" mode. All I can think of is duct tape or elastics. Enlighten me.......

Heidi, you're killing me here!!!

As I live and breathe, I will never forget the story of my exceptionally successful boss (female) out on the golf green with some clients. As she starts to stride confidently away from retrieving her ball, her "gauze" grabbed her and proceeded to slowly and painfully do her bikini "wax" for her. Of course, being unable to adjust herself accordingly out there, she just calmly and with great purpose went on to the next hole.

[Anyplace Farm]

See, and if she were a man, she'd just grab herself like those ball players do.

[Hephaistion]

Yes, I have many more thoughts Anyplace, but I'm afraid I got lost after Quin's post about the duct tape. I'm afraid the train of thoughts in your posts after that went right over my head. I realize she was being delicate, but I have no clue what she was referring to...

I do understand about the thong though... I might even own one myself! /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

If it makes you feel better, I'm having trouble following anything beyond the thong as well. The jumping over the oxer story, tennis story and golf story...I'm just not sure.

Ahh, the light is dawning now...

You are talking about a different kind of pad to those ones they sell at Beval's. Correct?

While I can't contribute to those "adhesive difficulty" stories, I do symphathize. Zippers can be a problem too you know /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Canter - no, I don't ride in boxers. Have heard some guys do. In my experience they bunch up terribly. They're quite comfy under dress pants though, despite what you might think. Personally, I think boxer briefs are a wonderful invention. /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

You guys are killing me. Who new that underwear and unschedualed bikini waxes would cause such a stir?

[Flash44]

So thongs can rob you of your virginity, and granny pants are ugulee. I found some panties at Walmart that claimed to be the World's best fitting Panties. I bought several pairs and they fit great and don't give you a wedgie! The bikini brief with half your rear end hanging out looks horrible under breeches. Worse than a panty line at your leg.

ROTFLOL !!!!!

[Quinn]

Admit it......admit it and your life will be simpler. Okay, okay, I admit it. I don't want to go home. I want to go out and buy a bottle of wine and come back to the office and chat to my BB fiends, no, no I mean friends. Honestly!

So, now the possibility of no underwear. No can do. Remember being told by our mothers to make sure we're wearing clean underwear in case we're in an accident and need to go the the hospital? HELLO!!!! Under certain circumstances with the tummy held in just so and draping something seductive around us, we can look quite tantalizing. But Lord, just picture being prone, on a hospital gurney and voila........no undies. I repeat, no can do.

[B.G.M. heidi]

Think white Tailored Sportsmans on a rainy day...this would probably be a tad more embarassing than panty lines not to mention errant panty liners.

Heidi, this quite simply has to stop. One quick story which semi relates to your white breeches comment.

Picture this. Years ago, wearing a stunning new hot pink bathing suit. I seductively climb out of the pool, walk toward my husband (now ex) and might I add, walking as though I was one hot little number. He is motioning to me and waving rather hysterically. I think I'm just driving him toward madness in his desire for me. Well no. What he is actually doing is trying to tell me my bathing suit is now completely transparent and there I am for the entire world to view. Now that I think about it, I wonder if that's why we split. No, come to think of it, he's still waiting for me to answer that question. You know the one.....what's more important to you, the horses or me?????

[Becca]

Let m,e just tell you!!!!! I would sooner go Captain than wear a THONG!!!! Honey, no matter what- its a major wedgie. You just don't go there. Especially when your horse decided to make a REALLLY big effort, and your upper body lurches forward. Its like being hung from your underwear (Ok, so its never happened to me, but i can imagine(being hung, that is)!!!!)

Thong is just a major no-no. You go free to the wind, or you wear TIGHT undies. But thongs? not unless....ok, never mind..

[Canter]

heidi do you remember a certain grand prix rider who used to regularily ride in her white TS's sans undies?

Do you remember when she got dumped into the liverpool at the original Tournament of Champions. For reference see Quinn's tranparent pink bikini story.

I believe she's moved to Europe (or coventry) poor dear ... too hard to live that one down!

Not only have we amused ourselves endlessly we have inadvertently stumbled onto a more humane form of execution - wonder if George Dubya is lurking. Forget the electric chair, hang 'em by a thong. I think the mere threat, at least for Becca, would also go a long way to deter many from a life of crime.

And Canter, I do remember feeling like Superman that one day with keen x-ray vision. BTW, had I experienced a similarly translucent moment, I'd leave the country too and enter the witness protection program for the underwear-challenged.

[Becca]

Heidi- You have me pegged. Threaten me with a thong-wedge, and I promise, I'll never kill another person again. Or steal. Or embezzle. Or cheat. Or Lie. Or voice my opinion.... Ok, I'll give up all my other favorite pass times, but being a bossy big-mouth is one even super thong will not end! However, thongs would be more cost efficient than the electric chair. You can buy them at walmart- 10 for 5 dollars!!!!

My dear new friends, the internet crashed but I'm back. Okay, in answer to the bathing suit story.....I'm in Mexico for a week off work. Swimming w/ the Dolphins. Excellent white almost two piece but attached at the side by fab. gold buckle....smokin' if I don't say so myself. I'm first in and the trick is lie face down in the water, two dolpins swim up underneath and with their noses push you up and out of the water. Standing on their noses they push you along the water for about 100ft.

Yes, first the bathing suit was clearer than a Ziploc bag filled w/ water and then insult to injury, the buckle thing broke from the force of the water as I was pushed out of the water. So here I am wipping along the water standing on the nose of two dolphins in front of approx. 50 Japanese tourists....handicams focusing in! I do have pictures but somehow I think Erin would throw me off the BB forever and how sad, I'd miss all my new fab. friends.

[Bethe Mounce]

How I am just cackling about being hung from your underwear! I can just about picture it.......as a dressage rider I wear white breeches and believe me, when they get wet, everything shows! I usually wear pantyhose under them to get rid of the panty lines......what does one do about slimming the gut?

Those of us who have had children know regaining that lovely figure we had before pregnancy, may or may not be a reality.

Anyone have any suggestions on what to do to slim the gut? Girdle maybe? /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[B.G.M. heidi]

Bethe, I believe there are laws in the books about attempting half passes in a girdle.

My mother once told me to wear a girdle during pregnancy to prevent stretch marks (scoffed at her and now have the map of Italy on my belly) and I cannot imagine the pain and discomfort of wearing one to ride.

There is a line of 'undergarments' called Body Slimmers, can't remember the manufacturer, which may work. How about control top pantyhose under your white breeches?

[Alida]

OMG, I have to stop reading this thread because I'm laughing so hard that I'm going wet the underwear I have on!!

Actually, I think I'll have my aforementioned husband read this later.... it will give him an entirely different perspective on what to watch for at the hunter ring.

[Rosie]

Oh my, my age is showing! I saw this post early today and thought - no way am I going to tell everyone that I wear thongs under my TS's. They'll think I'm not only a wanton woman, but an "over the hill wanton woman" - whose 43 yr.old. a$$ should probably be properly supported by a "foundation style" undergarment.

Well, I was just about to leave for home (after a long, long meeting)and decided to check and see if anyone was brave enough to "tell all".

I can't believe the stories! I probably won't stop laughing till sometime tomorrow.

Just so everyone knows tho' - my rear end still has it's original suspension system in place or I WOULD wear a "foundation garment" instead of a thong.

[Kellybird]

Shhhhh....

I am bestowing upon you all my little secret. www.bananarepublic.com (http://www.bananarepublic.com)

Their seamless underwear items are the absolute best. At the moment, none of the stuff is on sale, but keep an eye on your local store--for quite a while, I was finding them for about 2.99 a pair...they are sooo comfy, barely a line under TS, and come in very unobtrusive colors--the closest tan to TS green I can find, not to mention everything else...

I am admitting my problem--Banana Republic has great sale and clearance bins [oh god this is embarrassing /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif] where pretty much everything ends up eventually. Well, if you can casually scan the bins every so often, you may find just what you want...well, my friend and I one day spotted quite a trove of stuff (great seamless tank tops, underwear, etc.) and so we were happily digging through stuff, meanwhile all the other classy BP shoppers are milling about looking cool, watching us down their noses...From now on, I make a quick glance at the table, and if nothing on tops strikes me, I don't pursue it. I need no more embarrassment in my life, thank you.

Anyway, you all know my no lines secret, so go forth and enjoy. And EGADS, why on this green earth would any human being subject themself to a THONG!?!? What sick twisted individual invented such a device--someome who didn't think shaving legs was torture enough, and that panyhose just wouldn't do justice to repent for the sins of womankind?

Geez, I'm not that much of a prude! I mean, I may have worked for years at Disneyland, but I DO know what a thong is/feels like on. And so here's my revealing tidbit: I wear Jockey cotton hipsters under my TS. No lines show. But I have the boney butt problem. So occasionally (and I say this with an interesting mix of embarrassment and yet freedom) I wear those padded dressage underwear. There! I admitted it! Oh, the secret is out...

Merry they say the first step to undergarment rehabilitation is admission. The second step is to share with others suffering a common malady your insights and experiences. So WHERE'D YOU GET THE PADDED UNDIES?

Don't really ride anymore so don't need it for that but do have a couple of dresses which could use some artificial assistance. BTW saw a woman on tv who's suing her plastic surgeon - seems she went in for some butt implants and ended up with saline breast implants in her bum. I don't think she'll be jumping any oxers anytime soon.

Heidi: Let me clear THIS visual image up once and for all... I don't wear padded underwear ala falsies! (Just dying laughing at that picture: toothpick legs and bubble butt). These are the kind of undies bicyclists wear. They're sold in Stateline and Dover's catalogs. Just the, ahem, crotch is lined and padded, not the entire derrier portion. Still, it helps me. Maybe it provides some "lift" to keep my seat bones slightly off the saddle?

Speaking of breeches splitting, one of my best friends USED to always ride sans-underwear, and one day in the Childrens Classic, they ripped from the front of the crotch all the way up the back. NOT a pretty picture! And she still had the victory gallop to do too! /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif And the only other thing we had for her to wear over them were my bright red flannel snowmen boxers! LMAO!

I was wearing a very old pair of jeans one day while riding and they split right across my hind end over a jump. I have also split a few pairs getting on horses. And no, I don't wear tight jeans....they were thread-bare http://www.chronofhorse.com/ubb/cool.gif

But the "wrong size" can happen innocently too. Like the dryer for instance, the same one that eats socks, it seems to shrink my clothes specifically around my hips and keeps the length the same. And I definately know its the dryer.....I'm sure its not the endless hours I spend in the office, sitting my hiney, working so diligently (never posting on COTH)!

HN, I didn't mean you! LOL, I'm sorry!! But I do remember hearing a story from someone about a woman who DID split her breeches sans underwears during a clinic -- I'm trying to figure out who I heard it from!! /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

VtRider, I've had the same problem with my jeans that I ride in. One pair split last week and I noticed that another is starting to wear through. Like you, I do not wear them too tight, they're just getting worn out at a rapid rate! No thongs underneath for me. All cotton, French cut briefs thank you very much -- no rubbing or chafing. No panty lines with jeans and I can live with the lines under my breeches.

[Squirt]

Gotta story to share along the splitting pants lines...this just happened a month ago while I was at Nationals. We had just gotten there and I needed to school my mare in the big ring to get her used to it before the jumpers the next night. Heard over the PA that they were closing the ring at 4:30 and having lost track of time thought that it was almost 4:00 and she wasn't even groomed much less tacked up. Doing this sans groom didn't have time to change into different jeans. So what was I wearing? A pair of threadbare jeans I bought when I had gained my freshmen 10#'s and have since lost it. So they were WAYYY too big. So I tacked up and went to the ring and in the middle of everyone in there I go to mount up from the ground and what do I hear but RRRIIIIPPPP! Those jeans had fell down so low that the waist was drooping around my hips and the crotch was a good 2-3 inches below where it was suppose to be. and it ripped all the way across one butt cheek! There in the middle of all those professionals and big names. I was soo embarassed, but luckily I was wearing my chaps and wasn't wearing Butt floss. Then the piece de resistence, I had to go to outback with some old friends in the same trashed jeans, after realizing I had more than 1.5 hrs to get in the ring and school! Boy did I feel dumb. /infopop/emoticons/icon_redface.gif

[Retrophish]

I cant believe that everyone here has so drasticaly underestimated the real power of a thong.

There is nothing like a thong to remind you to sit up straight in that Eq class; don't SLAM back into the saddle or do other harsh movement on your horses back and surely dont yank your horse down to a screeching halt at any expense. You will think twice about missing to any jump, not just a sizeable one. I think these are all good things.

I love thongs and at least when I dont ride so swell I have my hubby to tell me its allright cause I look pretty hot just standing there.

I will say that I hate wearing thongs with looser fitting pants and even skirts because the powerful, thong honed butt cheeks tend to want to pull loose clothing in too and there is nothing worse then reverse camel toe.

The big peeve I have that comes second only to the underwear line thing is bouncing bousoms. That must be because my front is as flat as my back.

[Retrophish]

I dont know that they hone your butt either, someone else said you need hurculean butt cheeks. I just know the cheeks get a little eager that's all - and that's enough. Think about it, someone that tolerates the butt floss -say me for example, is probably incapable of feeling the slack/skirt creepage. Now, catching a glimpse of that on yourself in the lady's room can cause quite a scream.

So much for thinking your some sexy thang.

Marks and Sparks:

When I was in England I had some warm flannel nighties from M$S; a necessity in that environment. After I got back to the States, those nighties lasted forever.

Actually. some years ago, there was an article on Marks and Spencer in of all places, Gourmet Magazine. The article described the stringent procedures that the company employed to ensured the durability of their products.

Maybe they could be convinced to offer their products in a catalog. I would be first in line to buy.

No thongs for me! My derriere needs to be warm!
