While I was doing the washing over the weekend I realised that I only have a couple of bra and undie sets that actually match. Mostly I just chuck on anything nowadays and don't really think about how it looks. Maybe I should be making more of an effort but normally when I find a bra that I want to buy I don't like the pants and vice versa.
Do you guys have matching bra and undie sets? |

| Nope! I buy undies that are cheap and comfortable, and I buy bras that are cheap and comfortable. They don't usually match. |

Nope, I think I have 1..
I don't buy the matching underwear as its usually quite expensive and I'd rather go get something cheaper. Especially as my bras cost a lot I don't want to then spend alot on my undies. (bras usually between $70-100 cause of my size) |

Ah I always wear matching sets. I can be a slacker with my clothes, but I love matching underwear. I think I got that from my mum... she always wears matching too.
I always used to think that if I was in an accident and they had to cut my clothes off then I'd wish I'd worn matching - yeah right, like the ambos or me would care at that point! |

Nope, I go for Bonds underwear thats granny-ish and comfortable.
At the moment I'm living in my sports bra, as I'm too cheap to go buy a maternity bra 
I do have 2x matching sets, but I got the g-string bottoms and I don't often wear them these days (these days its all about comfort!) And besides, no way I'd get these hooters in those bras at the moment!
DH thinks sexy stuff is a waste of time, he's just gonna pull it off anyways

I have some sets that I have bought, with the intention of matching and makin more of an effort.. but I still use my granny ones.
In fact, I worked out yesterday that my favourite pair of undies are 5 years old.. how bad is THAT?!

the only reason they would match would be if i happened to pull a plain black pair of undies and a plain black bra out of the drawer at the same time lol. i just buy for comfort, and dont really worry too much if they match. might be nice one day but meh lol.
lol hunnybunny - thats my DPs train of thought aswell  men a? hehe

No, can't afford it. Usually I try and wear the same colour which means everything is either black or white! At the moment though I am wearing bfing bras so they don't match any of my undies in colour ------------- Lindsey

I love wearing matching - even when I'm scruffy on the outer, I love to know that I'm matching underneath Weird I know.
That said, I bought a whole lot of knickers from Victoria's Secret when I was in the states and I didn't like their bra's much so I have lots of cute undies that don't match my bras. Not that it matters atm anyway, cos I'm living in BF singlets with shelf bras. Niiiice 
I bought matching undies for some of my BF bras, and I'm looking forward to getting back into matching, it just seems thanks to this darn minipill, everytime I try to move out of my "ugly lochia undies" I get my period again  ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

Normally I always wear matching, but while being pregnant it is an issue enough trying to get undies to fit nicely let along match anything!
I have put aside all my nice stuff until afterwards in the hope that i still fits!

Never! I do have one 'nice' black bra and pair of knickers, and a pretty black cami that I wear all together for 'special occasions', but other than that, it's just whatever comes out of the washing pile lol. -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Yep  I buy it at the Bendon outlet, and always try to get matching sets - two knickers to a bra, if I can. If I'm in a hurry, I won't bother too much, so they can get mixed and matched, but I like my knickers and try to match them when I can -------------

I have a couple of really nice sets that I have bought for very special occassions, but mainly just live in comfy bras (I have the same bra in every colour it comes in), and cotton granny knickers! I did buy http://www.blestbras.com.au/detail/856/Fayreform/Hyper-Charge.aspx - this for DH for HIS birthday last year....

I love matching and used to when I was younger but nowadays its all about comfort so, nope, no matching these days. I do love my Bendon and Bonds though
I think I may have 1 or 2 sets but never wear them as a set. And once I find something I love I tend to buy it in all the colours available too ------------- Our Angel July 08 Gone but not forgotten

I love and always wear matching sets - I was gutted when I went up a cup size and had to put all my pretty sets away but then I discovered Hot Milk and they are having some fab sales at the mo.
I just don't feel right when they don't match - sad I know. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Before I got pg with Jake I always matched (bought 2 undies per bra) and also had some plain t shirt bras and plain cotton g strings, so still kinda matched.
Since then I've been in maternity bras and plain cotton undies for almost 3 years! So no matching now. ------------- DS (5yrs) and DD (3yrs) |

Mostly matching here - I love it. However, I never buy anything full price, always at outlet or sales. Or I buy a pair of knickers that can go with 2 different bras
I too like to match underneath regardless. And since I had my boobs done and can wear non padded bras the world has opened up in the bra department. |

GOD no!!! I'm always trying NOT to get lucky (unlucky, lol) with DH, ha ha. Not matching, but i only get black or flesh bras and mostly the undies are the same too, so colours match..although I got a cute polka dot set a few weeks back, however I don't think DH noticed, ha ha ------------- The Honest Un PC Parent of 2, usually stuck in the naughty corner! :P |

I might match in terms of colour but not as a set. I pretty much only wear bonds g's in black or white and then I have tons of the same bendon bra. Very boring in that department!
I actually have some "sexy" stuff that I brought before our honeymoon or just if I saw something I thought was reall nice, but I'm always too nervous to put it on. |

| I love Bonds as well, so comfy. My problem with sexy lingerie is that it is usually uncomfortable, well the pants are anyway. I have all of these cute Hey Sister undies with things like crocodiles and bears on them like I am 5 years old. DH thinks it's hilarious. |

I definately don't match anymore.
I used to buy sets but would generally only wear them just after I bought them or if we were going out or had a special occassion, but I prefer plain cotton boyleg knickers, especially these days -------------

I think I only have the one pair that matches, and even then I never wear it.
Everything else I own is black (oh and one white bra) so I guess I am always kind of matching -------------

Missmatched. I'm completely missmatched.
I love bright and colourful softies, and preferably the ones on special from the warehouse. I splashed out on a few hotmilk bras recently,they were on sale, but didn't bother with the underwear, because I have underwear, so it wasn't really justified.

Once I've stopped making babies I'll do a spoil myself underwear shop. Lots of brights but a few frillys for DH do. To much change and packing away the stuff between now and then. In the last 2 years I've go from - A to D back to A up to C and all the rollercoaster bits between.

Matching underwear?!?!? Have you seen the price of those things!
Haha, never bought a matching set in my life! I'm ALL for the plain cotton undies and the plain bra. I hate Lace against my skin, makes me itch like crazy. I've bought plenty of nice bras but never end up wearing them cos they make me itch!
The only thing that does match is the colour, I only buy black and white underwear! ------------- My babies: R (9),G (7), J (5) http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">
