"Do a lot of guys have a thing for old-fashioned underwear?"
In early 1999, a perplexed bride posted a question on the Usenet newsgroup alt.support.newlywed. The story she recounted would be very familiar to most Zona readers:
For Valentine's Day, my husband, for the first time, bought me some lingerie. He was so embarrassed when he gave it to me that I was expecting something really kinky from Frederick's of Hollywood. Well, guess what he got me? A bra, a panty girdle with garters, a full slip, and a pair of regular stockings. The only one of these garments I've ever worn is a bra (I'm 28, he's 35).
I feel a little strange about this. Do a lot of guys have a thing for old-fashioned underwear? I'd like to wear these things for him if they would make him happy, but I guess I'd feel a little strange being sexy to him in underwear I never thought men considered sexy.
I must have seemed puzzled to him. We haven't talked about it. We dated for three years and never talked about anything like this. So, it's kind of out of the blue.
Should I just wear the gift and see what happens? Or should I talk it over with him first to see where he is coming from. I'm not entirely comfortable with this, but I worry that maybe I'm making too much of it.
Am I?
- Sheila
Response came quickly:
If you are uncomfortable with it, make sure you tell your husband. If you are willing to try and wear it, why don't you just try wearing it under a dress, and just let him know that you are wearing it? Sometimes a man's imagination can go wild with that.
You don't have to parade around in it. And only you know that you are wearing it, and your hubby, of course. You might feel more secure with a dress on, and when you are feeling more comfortable with wearing it, then you can show it to your hubby.
Hope this helps
- Wilma
I am sure he'd be happy if you wore it. It'd either look sexy or funny. Good in any case, eh?
- Angie
I agree with you! What could it hurt?
- Margie
I would put it on, no questions asked, and probably do some kind of striptease thing taking it off.
Now realize that this is what I would do, which means that you should probably do something else, since no one ever agrees with my ideas. :)
- Trisha
"I would put it on, no questions asked, and probably do some kind of striptease thing taking it off. Now realize that this is what I would do, which means that you should probably do something else, since no one ever agrees with my ideas. :)"
LOL! Nope, stripteases are definitely a good thing. Even us monogamous "old farts" like to have fun, ya know! :-)
- Katrina
Nah, you're absolutely right. Wear it with a sense of fun - maybe be wearing it when he comes home from work one night if that's possible - and hope that isn't the night he brings someone home for dinner unannounced!
- Mary Mae
Wear it under an apron while cooking dinner or something!!
- Jen
Though the majority of respondents see nothing all that strange about the gift, one woman is appalled:
Maybe he just has no taste. This sounds bizarre to me that he would pick these items. My husband used to buy this horrible polyester stuff, but at least they were always nice teddies or nighties or something. It sounds like your husband hasn't got a clue.
I would take it back (except for the bra) and get something cute, like a teddy or bustier with panties or something. Maybe you can look through a Frederick's catalog with him and see what other kind of things he likes. He probably wasn't even thinking when he bought the stuff, or maybe he was being practical. I would level with him and tell him I really don't like this stuff and wanted to return it. Thirty-five isn't that old that he should be picking stuff his mom would wear.
Let us know what happens.
- Gail
Others chime in eagerly to set her straight:
But maybe this is what he likes. If it was me, I'd put it on and say "Look honey, I'm trying on my V-Day presents, what do you think?" Hey, if he laughs, then you know he made a mistake. :-)
Or maybe better, "Stay here a minute, I'll be right back. I'm going to try on my V-Day presents." Then at least there's a little anticipation. What's the worst that can happen? Either you'll have good sex or get a good laugh. :-)
- Fran
No taste???
Seeing your wife in garters, a girdle, and a slip and regular stockings?
I think the guy is smart. I think he is testing the waters to see if she would go for it, and has an agenda in the future. Maybe something a little more kinky he could have asked but bringing this home and watch her reaction tells all.
What's wrong with playing dress-up? Even if it is garb worn long ago.
I am sure he didn't go buy it used somewhere or at an antique show So he put a lot of thought into what he bought.
"I would take it back (except for the bra) and get something cute, like a teddy or bustier with panties or something."
What fun is that for him? He probably had a blast picking it out. If you want something like that then go get it yourself. Don't you like to shop for your S.O.? Whatever it is you are shopping for?
- Taz
I agree, and she didn't give that much of a description of what she got. I was kind of thinking he got her stuff in that kind of classic 40's or 50's Betty Page pin-up girl kind of style. They didn't have to be showing tons of flesh, and they were still exciting.
- Tammie
Gail, men have very fragile egos. Returning a gift is impolite and is like a form of rejection. If she doesn't want to wear it she should just make it into a fun thing with him and then toss the stuff. If she can do it with humor it won't be so bad.
- Phil
I wouldn't take it back. He embarrassed himself giving it to you. Unless he is a shy kinda guy this tells me he didn't get embarrassed by the garments. He was embarrassed by the fantasy he revealed to you. I may be way off target with this ,but it's a view you might want to look at. Most men treat their wives, girlfriend, whatever, like a lady. With this outfit, you will be a tramp. He can be more aggressive with you. Unless it's offensive to you I'd play along. Again its only my opinion.
- Sam
"Thirty-five isn't that old that he should be picking stuff his mom would wear."
No offense, but it thoroughly annoys me when people say things like "That his mom would wear." First off, there are still lotsa women out there who wear garters, so that really isn't that out of touch. Second, I think the gent in question was probably going for dual use.
Number one, classy can be sexy. Throw on a pearl necklace and earrings and high heels, you have a timeless pinup with class. Then you can wear the undies to work. Perhaps he feels that practicality is sexy too. I don't understand why people fill their wardrobes with only undies that were meant to be seen, instead of some for play and some for functionality. I mean isn't that what most people do with all the rest of their clothes?
I did notice that the original poster made some minor comment about expecting something kinky instead of what she got and being uncomfortable with what she did get. Is it that you're worried about not being classy enough to present the ones he got? I wouldn't worry about it one way or the other. Try it, if you like it, great; if you don't, sit down and have a talk with hubby. But it is very important to figure out why you don't feel comfortable.
- Patti
If you're interested in a husband's perspective, here's my 2 cents. I have to disagree with Gail. Many men (myself included) would love to see their wives in girdles and stockings. There are many web sites exclusive to this subject. If you wish you can try a search on "girdle;" they are out there.
My wonderful wife wears girdles for me at least once a week. She has done so for about five years now and it really has kept our love life alive. As a matter of fact, she took to wearing some sort of foundation garment every day last spring and our love life was so active that we now have a beautiful 3-month-old daughter. :)
I'd say your hubby is just trying to open up some more of himself to you.
- Tony
"Should I just wear the gift and see what happens? Or should I talk it over with him first to see where he is coming from. I'm not entirely comfortable with this, but I worry that maybe I'm making too much of it. Am I?"
I think you are, but that's just me. What exactly are you uncomfortable about? Are you uncomfortable wearing those particular items? Or the fact that your husband may be "weird" for choosing those items as a gift? Are you uncomfortable with lingerie in general?
Your husband may have no idea about these things, and perhaps thought that any kind of intimate apparel is supposed to be sexy, so he picked something that was maybe less embarrassing to purchase to give as a gift? If you haven't talked about these things, he may have no clue as to what you like, or if you would be embarrassed or turned off by such a gift.
On the other hand, he may indeed find old-fashioned underwear to be a turn-on. This is not uncommon, or even strange. Just because many men seem to prefer the Victoria's Secret look, doesn't mean all men do. Some of them may even be "brand loyal," and feel that Sears & Roebuck is the only way to go.
And yes, do talk with him about it. Ask him what he likes, what embarrasses him, etc. In turn, you tell him what you like, etc. There is no way to know these things for sure unless you ask. I think it's important, however, that he feels free to discuss this subject without fear of ridicule.
In the meantime, maybe you could wear the items under a dress when you go out or for work. Tell him you are wearing his gift and see what happens. Next time you go shopping together, casually point out items that you find appealing and ask him if he likes them as well. That may give him some ideas.

Thanks for the morning laugh, Norma.
- Chuckles
Editor's note: back in the Forties, before Sears-Roebuck's Craftsman became America's best-known line of tools, there really was a girdle by that name.
Take a look at one of their ads!
This is a gift he bought for himself.
- Cindy
Cindy wrote: This is a gift he bought for himself.
Then why is she worrying about having to wear it?!
Ok, seriously. I understand what you're saying. However, that's why I agreed with Sheila. She should talk to her husband about it and find out if he really does like the old fashioned apparel, or if it was just lack of knowledge about these things
- Norma Rae
My humble guess is that he knows exactly what turns him on, and this lingerie was chosen exactly for this purpose. I also agree with Taz: he's pushing your sexual boundaries for the sake of novelty - and you both stand to benefit from it.
- Drew

Absolutely! But we also need to consider the possibility that Sheila's husband may be the product of very strict upbringing... may be very shy… may be uncomfortable with such matters, for whatever reason.. etc.
This husband may be pushing his own sexual boundaries, as well. That's why I think communication is key. Personally, I would want to know if my husband really likes the stuff or if he purchased more conservative items because he was unsure of how I would react. I'm not talking about making a big production about finding out where he's coming from, but just an informal inquiry. Besides, if he does happen to like the Sears catalog look, then she may take it upon herself to acquire more items and surprise her hubby. Just considering all possibilities, that's all. :)
- Norma Rae
What a marvelous opportunity. This is the kind of thing that you can make into memories that will be with you when your 50th anniversary comes around. Make a big deal out of it and see where it goes. In a very real sense your husband is making an effort to reach a sexual level with you that neither of you had tried before.
I suggest that you surprise him. Make a whole evening out of it with dinner and wine. Do something that really turns him on. From that point on you will own his sexual self.
Good luck.
- Cindy
I think you should wear it and see what happens. If it was hard for him to buy and to give to you, what better way to say you appreciate his efforts, then by just wearing it and showing it to him? I'd say, "Hon, I've got something I want to show you, I need an opinion on it," and then just walk out as if you have the most sexy thing on you can imagine and say, "Well, what do you think?"
I also like the idea of wearing it all under a dress, going out to dinner and telling him that you have his present on.
All of this will show him that you're interested, and it will also encourage him to try again. If you would like him to buy you other things that you would feel more sexy in, you could say something like, "I like the reaction I got when I wore the things you bought me. What other sort of things do you like? Would you like to know what else I would like?"
You could also buy things for yourself, and make a present out of showing them to him. In time, you'll both get to know what the other likes, and sometimes you'll wear things for you, and sometimes you'll wear things just for him.
- Ellen
"I also like the idea of wearing it all under a dress, going out to dinner and telling him that you have his present on."
I second this notion, followed by the striptease at home for "dessert". ;)
- Micko
Hi, Sheila.
I'm sorry, but when I read this I had to chuckle. It reminded me of the Christmas present my dad brought my mum. She got a whole lot of clothes - most of them were too small, one was a shirt that tied in a knot around the midriff (my mum is not a small woman) and they were all basically not appropriate except for a pair of tights.
You could bite the bullet and discuss it with him to see if he does find it appealing or it he simply got those because he didn't know what else to buy, or you could not wear them. What mum did was tell dad that all the clothes were too small so she exchanged them.
I would suggest talking to him and find out his reasoning for getting them. Don't do it in an accusing way but try to find out if he thinks they're sexy - if he does then what have you got to lose in wearing them ? You might see a whole new side of your husband!!
- Katie
I would love it if my wife wore the present I gave her out to dinner and then didn't let me find out about it until we were in the restaurant. What a great surprise! I say go this route, and let his mind work overtime until the two of you are alone again. :)
Make sure the two of you sit on the same side of the table in a booth, and maybe you could "accidentally" expose part of the lingerie to him and watch his reaction when he recognizes what you're wearing.
- Micko
Seemingly reassured by the encouragement from her on-line friends, the original poster decides to be brave:
You are all so kind and supportive. Thank you again. Well, I've got reservations made at a dimly-lit and romantic French restaurant. He was very pleased with the idea of us going out, but he doesn't suspect what is coming, I think. I've picked out my dress, a "little black dress" that has always been a little tight but that I bet will look great with the girdle.
Based on the advice I've gotten from people, I'm going to let him know I am wearing his present when we are in the restaurant, when we are in public. I'm still trying to figure whether to tell him or find some way to show him, but this is where it will happen. This is so much fun! I've never done anything like this before. I feel like a temptress. Me? A temptress? Hah!
- Sheila
You go, girl!!!!!
- Rose
Fun is what marriage should be.
- Cindy
I can't tell you how many of you women are missing the boat when it comes to being "sexy" in a very subtle way. Though many men won't verbalize it, a lot of guys really dig "old fashioned" lingerie like stockings, and girdles with garters. I'm a big fan of that "old fashioned" lingerie myself (I'm 35 years old). Nothing turns me on more than to see a woman in a tight-fitting girdle, stockings, and heels!
You ought to compliment your husband on the fact that he was able to overcome possible embarrassment when purchasing these items for you. Most men I know are way too shy to even walk into a lingerie store with their wife or girlfriend, let alone buy it on their own. I say "Bravo" to him!
- Buck
Several days later, we find out how things went:
Here is what happened.
After work (I teach), I took off my work clothes, showered, etc. and laid out his gift and my best and only elegant little black dress. I wanted to be dressed by the time he got home from work so that he would not see me getting dressed. I also wanted to see what it felt to put the girdle on in case it was absolutely horrible and I wanted to back out.
So, I put on the nice bra and managed, after some struggle, to get into the girdle. I have never worn one, so I hope I did it right. Although it was a little awkward to get on, I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that it was not really uncomfortable and even felt fairly nice. I don't know how to describe it, but I felt like a lady. The full slinky slip made me feel this way too.
I'd feel self-conscious dressing this way all the time but I think every woman should try it. It is interesting. I think I now know more of what the word ladylike means and I can see why some women may have once liked to dress like this, or why some men might find it appealing. It's feminine. I don't know how else to describe it. When I put on my dress and saw how wonderful I looked in the mirror, I also understood what girdles were for, in ways I've never realized. It was strange to see myself fitting so well into a dress.
Anyway, he came home and he seemed pleased and puzzled to find me already dressed up. I told him that I was so excited to go out with him that I couldn't wait. So, he got dressed and then we went out. I don't think he suspected anything. A woman might have noticed how my figure was different fitting into a dress he had seen me in before. But I don't think guys pick up on stuff like that.
So we got to the restaurant and since we were a little early, we had a drink in their little bar area, sitting up on some bar stools. What went through my mind was the possibility of letting my skirt ride up a little at a moment no one else could have seen anything. I was really nervous about this part. This is not really the kind of thing I normally do. I ordered a vodka martini (I'm usually a white wine type of girl) in the hopes that it would give me the courage. He was being awfully sweet, but I still think he wasn't suspecting anything.
Anyway, as the martini went down, I began to wiggle a little on the bar stool to get my skirt to go up a little. He was looking at me and was being very flattering about how I looked. Finally, I got my skirt at one point high enough. He looked down and saw just a little bit of the leg of the girdle. It was so funny, we both blushed beet red and I yanked my skirt down quickly. We were quiet and then suddenly he laughed and I laughed. He put his arm around me and then the maitre d' came and told us that our table was ready.
When we sat down, I said that I guess he could tell that I was wearing his Valentine's Day present. He said that he was very grateful and that he hoped I liked it. I assured him that I did and even said that I was surprised at how nice it felt to wear it. He was clearly very nervous and embarrassed so I didn't know how much more I should say, so I didn't say too much more. At one point later I said that I didn't have room for dessert because of the girdle and he seemed to really like that. But we spent most of the evening talking about the kinds of things couples usually talk about I guess in these situations. It was a really nice evening.
When we got back home I suggested we have a drink and we made out on the couch. He got to feel me in his present and seemed incredibly excited by it. I did feel like a temptress and I was actually glad that what obviously turned him on was something that I could wear without feeling funny. I just felt like an elegant lady, not a vamp. Not that there's anything wrong with feeling like a vamp. It's just that with my upbringing I would need several more vodka martinis to feel comfortable feeling like a vamp. Anyway, we went up to bed and he got to see me in the present, which he said took his breath away. After that, we had the most wonderful time.
Later we talked a little and he mentioned that girdles and slips on women had always turned him on and that he found old-fashioned dresses to be the sexiest clothing there is. I told him that we could do stuff like this again and that I really enjoyed it too and that he could buy me more such things if he liked as long as he would wear some things that I got him. We agreed to talk more about it soon. Then we fell asleep very happy and content. Boy, isn't marriage wonderful?

Good story with a very happy ending.
Now, this is a movie I would rather see than read the book!
Anyone got a cigarette?

I read your story. smiling the whole time. :)

"Boy, isn't marriage wonderful?"
It IS! I'm so glad it worked out well for you. and it looks like it might work out well over and over and over. ;-)
- Kerrie
I'm glad to see everything worked out great! I couldn't have predicted the outcome any better as I mentioned in my previous post. I hope more women will take a lesson from Sheila's experience. I'm glad she didn't follow the advice from another poster and return the items for a "teddy" or some other lingerie that would be considered "sexier."
I'm sure Sheila's husband knew what he was doing when he purchased those items for her. I think he should be congratulated for having it in him for taking a chance and showing her what he really likes. There is nothing worse than being rejected for sharing an intimate thought or desire either by verbalizing it or through action. Sheila did the right thing by going through with her plan as well as playing it up a little with her flirtatiousness. She obviously reaped the rewards for taking a chance herself.
You ladies might be surprised what your men find sexy or provocative. Take it from me as a guy who's not afraid to step up and speak my peace, girls (women) look absolutely sexy in a bra, girdle, stockings, and heels. Who cares what's under your dress as long as it pleases you and your mate, you're the only one to reap the benefit.
- Buck
Your story brought a tear to my eye! :)

That's such a wonderful story!!! I smiled all the way through it. Maybe I'll get the courage to do the same. Kudos to you, Sheila!!!

Seeeeeeee? Nowwwwww… wasn't that nice? You did just the right thing; and it turned out just right. Change (in idea, opinion, action, whatever) is often the most difficult, yet most rewarding thing we ever do.

I'm delighted for both of you!! I strongly suspected that your husband was "into" this girdle thing, and your bravery is duly noted!

I'm glad it all went well for you. See, it wasn't so bad after all, was it?
- Sara
Marriage IS wonderful and thank you for sharing what happened on your special evening. Gives me some ideas!!
- Katie
WOW!!! I had this big cheesey grin on my face the whole time I read that. I'm so happy for you guys! I really admire your guts for doing it. Most of all, I'm glad that you talked about what he liked. Best of luck for the next time.
- Betty
Good for you!!! I'm glad that you both had fun with it and had a wonderful time.
- Kathy
Hurrah! I'm glad it worked out wonderfully for the both of you. Here's to many more experiments and experiences!
- Beth
"I was actually glad that what obviously turned him on was something that I could wear without feeling funny."
To repeat what many others have written, I'm glad it went well!
I'd just like to add a comment. I've found it's important for me to wear something I feel good in, no matter if he prefers something a tad more. If I am comfortable and not self-conscious, I can relax more and it's better for both of us. So, he loves what I like, no matter what his previous conceptions may be.
- Jeannie
[Editor's note: I wouldn't be too complacent about that, Jeannie.]
I can't stop smiling. What a wonderful evening. I think that it's a lesson to all of us to be brave and try something new. Who would've thought a girdle would be sexy? <grin>
You're right, marriage is wonderful.
- Sherrie
Sheila,
That's great!! Good for you!
While reading your post, I couldn't help recognize that feeling of nervousness you described. Why is that? Why do we feel nervous and timid while displaying ourselves in the ways that we know make our SO's happy?
I'm an outgoing person, not really shy in any way, and not terribly ashamed of my (15 lbs) overweight.but when I put on something sexy for my husband, and I come out into the room, I feel unsure of how to act. Do I Parade? Do I just stand in the doorway and strike a pose? Do I just jump on him teasingly?
Such a simple thing, yet I find it hard to "set the right mood," afraid my clumsiness will show thru! Unless I opt for straight-out bold. Like the time I picked my husband up at the airport in a slinky negligee.
Guys, Gals, any thoughts?
Guys, what appeals to you in the presentation of your wife's/SO's sexy dress?
Gals, how do you go about this?
Really curious, now that Sheila has brought this to mind.
- Alicia
Alicia wrote:

The first thing that appeals to me is the thought that she is trying to make me happy.
After that, it's all dessert, but. desserts come in all flavors.
Shelly would be upset if I went into too much detail, but let's just say that if you are serving something decadent, it should be served with a devilish smile.
If you are serving something light and sweet, it should be served with a measure of shyness and innocence.
If you are serving something playful and fun, it should be served with a tease and a laugh.
If you are serving something classic and romantic, it should be served with emotion.
Whatever you serve, it should be served with a lust for life.
Hope that helps.

I thought I'd give you a man's prospective on the presentation of one's self when trying something new (i.e. dress, lingerie, etc.) Men are basically shy when it comes to discussing what they like (turn-ons), and I sympathize with women because that leaves a lot of guess work.
However, if a man does verbalize a certain like for a certain article of attire, the worst thing you can do is react in a shocked or stunned manner, as this will close off any future mention of certain likes for a particular thing. Many men love a very feminine appearance (dresses, tight skirts, satin bras, stockings, heels etc.) Though they may never verbalize it, they do. If you're trying out some new lingerie, the element of surprise is the key.
In Sheila's post she did the right thing by wearing the new girdle, stockings, and bra her husband bought her, and concealing it under her sexy dress. She also toyed with him during the time they were out at dinner by subtly letting him know what was under her dress. Flat-out "parading" is not usually a good idea, as there is no suspense, anticipation, or discovery involved (men like the thrill of the chase, so to speak); also if the "mood" isn't right, the whole event might be more disastrous than good. If his reaction isn't what you anticipated you'll end up with hurt feelings, and possibly a destroyed confidence to where you won't ever try anything new again.
That brings up another point, confidence. Most women lack confidence and a good self-esteem. Many times when a woman wants to try something new (as in Sheila's story) they don't pull it off because of the lack of confidence (feeling funny, shy, embarrassed etc.) The shyness routine can be a turn-off, because from time to time men would like to know a woman is confident in her femininity enough to feel they are as "sexy" as any woman could be. Let's talk about lingerie for a minute.
- Most men don't find "pastel" lingerie to be that exciting (i.e. peach, purple, mint green, pink, powder blue, etc.) Save that stuff for yourself, not as a "fire starter". Men like shiny material (satin, silk, leather, plastic, rubber etc.) They don't really go for the frilly nightgowns.
- Most men like tighter, form-fitting stuff (push-up bras, corsets, girdles, stockings, satin panties etc.)
- Most men love garters. They're shiny, sexy, and appeal to their mechanical instincts.
- Let me mention one final thing, shoes. Heels are a must!! The shoe styles today (big clunky heels) are horrible. Ask most any man, and he'll tell you he would prefer a basic pump with a skinny spike type heel on a woman. Thank god there's still mail oder houses that still carry these.
All this info might sound funny coming from a man but through my experience a lot of you girls need some help in this area. What you might think is "sexy," might not be sexy to your significant other at all. Hope this helps.
- Ralph
I think women worry too much. My wife has never done anything along this line that didn't completely knock me out. Men are so appreciative for this sort of thing that it is impossible to screw up.

Yeah! And ain't it GREAT!
- Sheree
In a concluding aside, Sheila reveals the further progress of the issue.
Maybe I don't understand what it is that he bought her. but I wear a garter belt and stockings quite often. I like the way they feel, and I like the idea that they're there, for a variety of reasons. ;-)
I've never thought of myself as out of touch, either.
To the original poster, sometimes the gift isn't perfect, as in, "isn't what we may have selected for ourselves," but I think it's very sweet that he brought you something so personal. I also consider what he went through to get that gift. If he was a little embarrassed giving it to you, imagine what he must have gone through in the store!

I think her exact words were "panty girdle with garters." What comes to my mind is one of those things that look like biking shorts, with little garters at the bottom.
They are usually pretty foul. Though I do wear a panty girdle quite alot. Pulls in all those bits you wish weren't there.
BTW, the word "girdle" has always made me giggle, especially when my mom says it (HEAVY 'Nu Yawk' accent).
- Norma Rae
I have a feeling Sheila's husband likes them just fine... :)
- Amy
Does he ever! I really don't mind them at all. I've acquired several in the past two weeks, mostly gifts from him. Some of them are very pretty. They definitely do improve one's figure, and if the man you love is very attracted to them, then you feel very sexy in one.
