The thread about the first articles purchased got me thinking about my history. I was a late bloomer and the desire to have and wear clothes from the woman's section of the store didn't start until my mid-fifties. A lot of those posting on the other thread said that pantihose were their first purchase. Now, I'd tried on my wife's pantihose a few times over our several decade marriage. i didn't hate it but it was a slight letdown over how i thought they'd feel. Dark leg hair showing through wasn't exactly a thrill either...
But, the main memory that the thread brought up was the fact that i've bought probably hundreds of pairs of pantihose for my wife during the years she worked in an office and I did most of the shopping. it was nothing for me to throw 2 or 3 pairs in the cart on every grocery shopping trip. I never gave it a second thought and never had the least bit of self-consciousness. Now, that I'm buying for myself, I often feel very self-conscious. I was just wondering if anyone else had a similar experience.
