I wish to request a sanity check upon whomever makes the colour decisions in multipacks of undies. Seriously, who wants lilac knickers?

I don't understand the logic behind little sprays of flowers either.

I don’t care for any print myself, but Boyo has some rather entertaining ones.

lilac is lovely

red, orange or brown is just nasty

I follow the logic but don’t entirely agree about some shades of red.

It depends. Oops.

I don't understand why they sell a three pack with three different skin tones (1 light pink, 1 tan, 1 brown). I'd rather have three of the same colour because the point of that is to match your skin and blend in under thin/pale clothes.

Or why Bonds puts chunky prominent white writing on the bands of skin tone undies/bras.

Or why most cotton underthings have to be brightly coloured and/or lairily printed.

The logic...

The three skin tones is weird. I don’t get white either. Utterly impractical. Yes, it’s a throwback to real linen undergarments, but you can’t boil the modern stuff!

I guess so they can be bleached? But I wouldn't want to bleach something worn so closely. Maybe for hot or boil washing, or to avoid dyes.

NSFW

Also particularly acidic women can bleach dark undies

@Catfish @melbaboutown @melbourne What's wrong with lilac undies?

And other than the three packs of different skin tones (why?!?!), what seems silly to me is that every brand has to have a massive logo on the elastic bands these days.

Okay, if it's a designer brand — like Calvin Klein — I can understand. But — say — Bonds is not exactly CK!
