At what age is it appropriate to wear lingerie?

[Luci92]

What age do you think is appropriate to wear lingerie?
I ask because it really appeals to me, but my mum won't let me wear it. The stuff that I do like isn't anything extreme or crazy either. I kinda wish I could buy it regardless, but at the end of the day, I'm under her roof and she does all the washing, so I have no way of hiding it from her.
I wouldn't wear it for anyone (#singlelife) but it makes me feel good wearing it and it's like a mini confidence boost.
Is 17 too young to wear lingerie?

[Checkers82]

I have a few bits and pieces of pretty underwear I bought for myself. I like it because it makes me feel sexy. I don't think I ever considered my parents when I got it. It was my money so I do what I like with it. If she's really against it wash it yourself. Not like it's going to kill her for you to have nice clothing that no one else is even going to see.

[Luci92]

I tried doing that, and she took it away.
But I totally agree with what you're saying.

[mikemx55]

:o that's another story
How did she "took it away"?

[Luci92]

@mikemx55 Literally took it from me and hid it somewhere.

[mikemx55]

Well, at least she didn't threw it away xD
Do you live with someone else who could support your arguments with her? Sister/brother/father?

[Luci92]

@mikemx55 I wish, dad's not the type, it'd be super awkward and he'd take my mum's side, and sister is 11 lol

[mikemx55]

Guess you'll just have to live with it...
Look on the bright side:
with a face like that, you don't need no lingerie :D

[Luci92]

@mikemx55 Ahaha aww thanks :)

[Kaylyne]

Perhaps first off ask your mum what age she was when she was allowed to wear lingerie.
Personally I don't think seventeen is too young to be wearing it, providing you are not out trying to impress "someone!"

[Luci92]

I don't think she ever got into it tbh, she's really vanilla like that

[Luci92]

Yeah I'm wearing it for me :)

[Kaylyne]

Wow. You mean to say she has no sexy lingerie whatsoever! How very sad.

[Luci92]

It's pretty sad I know ahaha

[CheerGirl38139]

I don't understand why your mom would care what you wear for yourself.

[Luci92]

I think the same thing, but she's like... a helicopter mum.

[CheerGirl38139]

What does she think will happen wearing it at home or under your clothes when you go out?

[Luci92]

I have no idea, I think she's just scared of the idea that I'm growing up and becoming an adult, especially because I'm the first child too. It's frustrating though haha

[coolbreeze]

If your single and it's only for you to wear then the age shouldn't matter. It's not like girls wear it out on the streets. It's more of an indoor type of fashion.

[modeve]

I don't think 17 is too young. Body is fully grown up and mind thoughtful and imaginative almost all the time.
Since you are living with mom, so better to heed to her advice.

[Luci92]

That's very true, thanks :)

[modeve]

Welcome dear.

[ElissaDido]

I just bought my first "sexy lingerie " like 3 days ago lol! My mom was with me I'm just wearing it for me since I am saving myself for marriage! I think 18 and up is a good age.

[Luci92]

That's awesome lol

[ihatethiswebsite]

Why would you go with your mom And pick it out? That would be so awkward lol.

[Blonde401]

@ihatethiswebsite why is it awkward? Some of us are really close to our mums and share a lot.

[ihatethiswebsite]

@Blonde401 why would you want your mom to know what you're wearing before sex? How could that not be awkward lol

[ElissaDido]

@ihatethiswebsite my mom knows I'm not sexually active and I'm not wearing it for a guy, I'm wearing it for me because I find them pretty cute

[Blonde401]

@ihatethiswebsite it's underwear. Since when does underwear automatically mean sex?

[Blonde401]

I started wearing lingerie when I was 15? My mum bought me lingerie because she likes lingerie and I did so it just happened. I don't know why nice underwear is innapropriate for anyone, it should always be for yourself first.

[outmyroom]

I mean no you can wear it at any age you want to as long as you're wearing it for yourself and not to impress some dude.

[Luci92]

Fair enough :) yeah I'm wearing it for me

[HyperNova]

Nobody wears lingerie for themselves. Except the deluded.

[outmyroom]

@HyperNova A lot of girls like to look sexy for themselves (I'm one of them).

[HyperNova]

That's what they tell themselves. Don't get me wrong, nothing wrong with that at all. But it's definitely based on being appealing to the opposite sex.

[HyperNova]

actually I should rephrase it to: it's based on KNOWING that you are appealing to the opposite sex

[HaveNoName]

I am trying to read your mom's mind. I'm sure she has a reason. I am not saying she is entirely right as you live with her. But I am sure she has a reason. I think she might see this as one step forward in your "sensuality" world.

[HaveNoName]

Try to talk to her. Don't be rude or loud. Just explain to her that she can trust you. Tell her you just want to feel good about yourself when you are alone. If you do not well and if she takes you well, she might be even takin you herself to get something. Good luck... and be good. You look like a nice young girl.

[HaveNoName]

Oops.. *if you do well*

[Luci92]

Thank you for the tip :) I'll try that and see what happens.

[OlderAndWiser]

I think age 15 is fine for wearing lingerie in private. Do you know why your mom disapproves?

[Luci92]

She's too vanilla and simple minded tbh ahah 😂

[hotstuffSRD]

No idea what exact age is but at 17 you can wear it
I don't know what's stopping you 😶?

[Luci92]

My mother :/

[hotstuffSRD]

Oh why?
It's not something bad

[CuteBæ]

I'd say 18. That's probably the most reasonable age to wear it.

[mikemx55]

She's probably thinking about who is going to see that lingerie...

And if nobody is going to see it, then it begs the question of "why?"

[Luci92]

Yes but I'm literally not going to wear it for anyone.

It makes me feel good, plain and simple.

[mikemx55]

I know what you mean, but you have to understand her side too.

I literally never thought of this subject before :o
I has never occurred to me. It's a very good question of where to draw the line on that subject when we live with our parents.
Let me know if a decision was made, will you?
I'm curious about it now.

[Luci92]

Will do :)

[Anonymous]

I think your age is ok. Maybe try and push it by getting French knickers to start with. There sexy and lacy usually, but they're still shorts and still have good coverage. Meet in the middle.

[Splintercell]

18 and your an adult. That's my answer. But like you said your mum's roof her rules.

[Joesyyyywhales]

When you have the body to wear it. Like I don't think a 300 pound woman should wear one whether she's 16 or 45.

[cjmtherfcker]

You shouldn't ask for permission for things if you think they will say no. Better of just doing it and asking for forgivness.

[Luci92]

Ahaha I did that and she took it away. (I bought it with my own money too).

[slimstiffy]

well, im not gonna ask my sister this one..
i guess 17 should be okay

[CheerGirl38139]

Haha why not?

[slimstiffy]

@CheerGirl38139
lol i can't. shell just shake her head and xall me a perv.

[CheerGirl38139]

LOL. She probably already knows that bruh.

[slimstiffy]

@CheerGirl38139
true. she does. but im not gonna push it to the next level :-D

[CheerGirl38139]

Haha, I'm sure she'd answer and probably roll her eyes.

[slimstiffy]

@CheerGirl38139 lol i just asked her , she gave me the " you perv " look and went to her room after trying to see what i was looking at in my phone. she probably tought i was looking at girls in lingerie pics

[CheerGirl38139]

Haha yeah you didn't handle that the way you probably should have. Or you could've just showed her it was a legit question. OF course, I wouldn't want my brothers to read what I post on GaG. LOL.

[slimstiffy]

@CheerGirl38139
yeah that didn't go well. but hell no, im not showing her my gag , haha :-D

[Pilulu]

But why would you wear lingerie though? Whats the point?

[Luci92]

It's different for everyone, but it's like a mini confidence boost. I can't really explain it

[Anonymous]

When she turns into an adult

[Karōshi]

When you get a boyfriend and start doing stuff.

[Luci92]

But I want to wear it for me

[Karōshi]

Meh.

[Username599]

If you are having sex then you're not too young.

[Luci92]

But I'm not

[Username599]

Even then you're old enough to do what you want. What's the harm in it?

[Luci92]

Exactly my thinking!

[Username599]

Have you bought any yet?

[Luci92]

Haven't had the chance to go shopping yet

[Username599]

Dont you work at a lingerie store?

[Luci92]

I've applied for a job there, haven't heard back yet tho

[Username599]

Oh okay, good luck.

[Luci92]

Thank you :)

[Zzzzzz111]

Like 18 or something
