Pores and underwear

I have two stupid things to talk about, so I figured I'd just put them in one post.

#1) Does anyone know of something to help shrink pores that doesn't dry out your skin? I have very dry skin and never had a problem with my pores until about a year ago. Now there are 2 spots on my face near the bottom of my cheeks that the pores seem quite large and I'd like to find something that shrinks 'em back down.

#2) Yesterday I bought some new pants because all my 4s are now too big and Petite Sophisticate was having an awesome clearance sale. So...Victoria's Secrets is right across the hall at the mall and I figured I could use some new underwear (my dog likes to chew my undies, so I need to replace quite frequently). I bought some butt-floss low-rise bikinis from the Pink line. I wanted thongs because the new pants I bought are pretty "huggy" and I didn't want pantylines ruining my new "hot" butt. So these underwear...I can't really figure out why bother wearing them? There's pretty much nothing to them. So really...why do we wear underwear? I haven't really figured out their purpose other than holding your sanitary napkins, which I don't even use.

How's that for two completely unrelated topics?
 
I love thongs. I have been wearing them for several years now. It took me a while to get used to them but once I did I was hooked! In the past couple of years I have also grown to like the new lace, stretch boy short style panties.

I am not comfortable going commando unless it's under a soft material pant like sweats and stuff. I normally only do that after a night time shower...I won't put on fresh undies just to hang around the house and go to bed....I'd just throw on my sweats.

This thread has sparked a silly question that I will now have to ask the ladies in a separate thread! lol :+


Have a great work out!

Can't answer your pore question but I too love thongs - people who hate them just haven't given them a chance. I'd much rather have a little bit of material in there than a whole bunch of bikini material trying to migrate there and then have to discretely "pick a wedgie".

I'm thinking that underware is just to keep from having to wash pants so often? I can't imagine going commando with jeans on though, seems like it might be uncomfortable.

I agree. :)

I rarely go commando but wear mostly thongs. I remember years ago I cringed at the thought but once I found nice ones that fit correctly, I just got hooked. I do find that I cannot wear them 24/7 though so I buy bikinis for at night when lounging on the couch, sleeping, etc.VS Pink line are the most comfortable underwear. They are nice and soft and I even like the bikinis.
 
I wear thongs but only when I'm at a decent weight for me. If I put on 5 or 10 pounds, then they aren't as comfortable for some reason. I only wear regular undies when it's TTOM and I'm less tolerant of any wedgie feelings! :D
 
The Pink line is the BEST! I got 4 pair of the low-rise bikinis a few months ago and they're always the first underwear I wear after the laundry is done. Now I've got the thongs, so I probably won't wear anything but the Pinks. That is...until Duke gets a hold of them too! Dumb dog.
 
So back to that pore question! i have also had that problem and although it is a temporary solution, use ice cubes. after you wash your face and before applying make-up. if you find something else that works, please inform me immidiately.

now for that other question, }( i go commando everyday at home and somethimes in public, just for the hell of it. but i think thongs come in handy when you are wearing pants that have an intrusive seam in the crotch. they help prevent chaped lips:D

i don't even own non-thong panties. panty lines are SO unattractive and they just draw attention to that area.

OK, I have to come clean. I go commando all the time. Yes, for many years I wore T-backs, & even Calvin Klein thongs which are very thin. Now, I don't even bother. The few times I've worn boy shorts or thongs, I realized it was a mistake. I hate panty lines. Since I never have that TOTM anymore on Depo, I never worry about not having panties on.

Besides, if you wear thongs, you are at a greater risk of getting a bladder infection anyway. And panties are out of the question for me.

No comment on the thong thing...as I can't stand them...I would be picking my um....butt all day!

Regarding the pores. I have oily skin, but I use Pore Minimizer refining lotion by Clinique. It is for all skin types and it is non drying. It leaves a shine free finish but it does not feel dry or cause my skin to flake. You would put it on over your mositerizer(sp?). You may be able to go to the website or Clinique counter and ask for a sample size. Good luck!

I rarely wear panties anymore and when I do, I wear thongs. I am just more comfortable this way. It's never caused a problem for me.
 
Well, I'm just so happy to see that so many women go without panties! I might start going without too. They're just silly.
 
Thanks Angela, I'll check out the Clinique stuff. Maybe if I can get a sample. I tried some stuff that the lady at the Origins counter said would work last year and it was ridiculously expensive, but didn't do a darned thing for the pores. So I'd like to try a sample of something before investing again.
 
Hrm..just wondering why thongs increase your risk of bladder infection. Haven't heard that before, but it's a problem I often have.

Also, does anyone else have problems with boy shorts giving them wedgies? I find that they're really comfortable when I put them on, but the minute I start going about my day, they ride right up.
 
Since the distance between the rectum & the urethra is relatively short in a woman as opposed to a man, bacteria can more readily "ride down" the thong from the rectal area into your vaginal area thus leading to a urinary tract infection.

I like boy shorts, but they are horrible under pantyhose! I find that they kind of bunch up too (not as a wedgy, but made lumps in my pants). At least the 2 pair that I had. I saw some really nice ones in the Pink line that I considered getting, but I went with the thongs instead.

smae issue for me....they are awfully cute but they ride right up the butt!
 
I have used the pore cream product from Clinique and really like it. I have lots of "biggish" pores around my nose.

I have worn Body by Victoria thongs for years. Love them, can't even tell that they are on. Never had a bladder infection in my whole life!
 
LOL Donna! I have no idea what makes pores shrink completely. There are several products that make claims and I've tried a couple of them and they didn't work. Photofacials can reduce the size of your pores but it is not something drastic and they are not cheap either.

About thongs...I used to wear them but I got sick of them. Men love them though, but that's cause they don't have to wear them. There are several brands of underwear (including VS) that offer seamless panties and bras and they're still sexy without being uncomfortable.
