KC, if you are around, this question is one that only you are qualified to answer. I don't know if this is an old lady thing or a me thing, but if my husband went out and bought me panties and yoga pants, I would most likely whack him on the head. I can take care of my own arse and he has better things to occupy his time than buying women's intimate apparel and workout gear. It's not like I buy his underwear and jock straps. It just strikes me as overly preoccupied with that thing that men are already overly preoccupied about. But maybe that is just because I am old and easily creeped out, cause apparently the ladies here that aren't as ancient as me think it is a good thing. So what would you think of Papa Lew being a Victoria's Secret expert?
PapaLew doesn't buy me clothes, outer or under... He threatens me to get me to go buy them though. Neither of us like to shop, so we wear stuff until it's dying. I buy his socks, though...and the occasional ISU t-shirt. He's not a good example for your question.
Ex was, however. He used to travel. Every time he went on a trip he would bring me back a teddy. Not a bear. Frilly lacy crap that served only one purpose - removal (here's where all the guys in the thread start gagging at what granny is saying). They were exceptionally uncomfortable as well. He said, well...you can sleep in them. Yeah...nope. You may have guessed I'm not an exceptionally feminine sort...and I always felt like he wanted me to be a...welll, you know. So, again - I'm probably not the best example.
Some girls thrive on pretty things. I prefer practical. The best valentines gift I ever got was from PapaLew - he bought and installed a new, larger water heater because I love long hot showers.
Bottom line - if PapaLew bought me something from VS, I'd laugh my *** off, and make him take it back.
