Well, I have been wearing panties since I was 11 years old. off on on for a few years but Mostly on. I have always been so bitter when I had to wear men's underwear. I had a small drawer in my dresser with mens underwear and when I got prepared to move from Minnesota to Florida, I looked at the drawer and thought well, I have not worn any of them for almost 6 years so I threw them out. I was somewhat concerned about going to the doctor's office but I will just wear some black bikini panties. I pefer Victoria's Secret. I mostly wear string bikinis and bikinis, but I really like thongs, It took a little time to get use to them but they are really comfortable. I am really do not like briefs or boy shorts, even if they were pink lace, I will not wear that style. As for the satin, cotton, microfiber debate. I like them all, even in the heat of South Florida. If any of you panties are uncomfortable because of the heat try a panty liner or thong liner. My best friend "GG" suggested this to me last year when we were talking on a long hike in the mountains of Utah. Jena0.02
