If you think about the perspectives of the people involved, the text is written upside down if it is meant to be a reminder to the owner.

Oh man, before you wear an underwear, you look at it... see if you like the color, style, etc, and read it... see? I mean, you are not telling me that people look at their undies while having a nice conversation.

>LOL. What does the man wear?

For those who remember the transition to disposable soda bottles:
1. "No Deposit. No Return."

Or else, there is always the bankers' favorite:
2. "No Penalty for Early Withdrawl."

I'm just a guy. I've never put that much effort into picking draws to wear.

My only point is that if nobody else is going to see them, and you are committed to your celibacy, what does the color/style/message matter?

(This is where I hear my sister telling me... You just don't understand! It's complicated!) :)

How about a caution sign that says:

"Contents may be hazardous to one's single lifestyle."

"I wish us older gals could somehow *push* our experience into these high-school twits' brains and save the planet a lot of grief."

AMEN!!! I have 2 kids right now, 6 and under, and I'm already saving articles that promote abstinence, etc. for when the conversations do come up. I'm hoping my current lifestyle is the one they learn from and not from my past mistakes.

Btw, I'd like this idea a lot more if the clothes weren't so skimpy!! I'm not a prude but wearing a shirt that normally would be worn braless with writing on top of them(teens are usually a little more perky than a mom that's nursed 2 kids!!) seems a little off to me! It's like screaming "Hey, look at me!"

Indeed, you don't understand. It's complicated, lol.

Nobody else has to see it, but you. I check out the style, material... color is very important. For instance, if one wears white summer pants, you wouldn't want to wear red undies, much less heavy read undies, which could be OK during winter but not under white thin pants. There are many details, but I don't think this is the thread to do so. :-)

I am so sick of these 'negligee' tops that are the current fad.

No kidding!! I took a double-take the first time I passed a woman wearing a lacy camisole as a top! Then, going into the woman's section at the mall, I saw them all over, only not in the underwear section...Is Madonna back or something???

Remember that episode of "Night Court" where Roz says "I have a tattoo on my butt that says 'If you can read this, there had better be an engagement ring in your pocket.'"

You are so right on. I wish there was a way to tell girls about the world outside their homes without ruining their innocence. My mom warned about predators but not about married men with their charming lies!

That is the men's version.

LOL - If you're a guy wearin' those, you can skip the message, because you won't be gettin' any anyways...

What does the man wear?

Sun glasses that won't allow light to pass through the lenses, or blindfolds and a walking cane.

As a father of 2 teenagers let me say that the best way to deal with difficult subjects is a little at a time.

There are teachable moments that come along where you can give kids a little bit of information without having to overload them. By the time they have to deal with a difficult issue it seems to them that they have always known what was right and wrong in that situation.

Plus this avoids having to have "big talks" with the kids that are so uncomfortable.

This woman is out to make money. Plain & simple.

So what? If she's helping kids abstain from sex before marriage with her product and making a nice profit what's the problem? I guess I thought most people were Capitalists here. *shrug*

Why are men reviled if they don't give it up, but women are praised?

Right of passage, becoming a "man" etc etc. Some nonsense like that. I wish I had waited. Granted, I'm thirty, as of yesterday and still single, so I'd still be waiting lol, but let's just say I didn't wait. I gave in to lust waaaaaaay too much. Changed it now, but once you've lost it, you've lost it.

My advice? Keep doing what you're doing. Wait.

I mean, you are not telling me that people look at their undies while having a nice conversation.

I imagine doing that while talking to a member of the opposite sex would ensure their continued chastity.

"Hey, how are you?" (Looks at crotch)

"Good, good, my name's Jon, and yours?" (Looks at crotch)

"Nice to meet you Victoria." (Looks at crotch)

"Hey... where are you going? Why are you running away?" (Looks at crotch)

Mheh.
