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 donβt get white either. Utterly impractical. Yes, itβs a throwback to real linen undergarments, but you canβt 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 β like Calvin Klein β I can understand. But β say β Bonds is not exactly CK!
