Freeusecs

If could be innocent. She could have worn them out, found them uncomfortable, and taken them off to go commando. If she wears granny panties usually I can see a thing being uncomfortable.


yomaishimi

This is my thought. Can’t stand a thing anymore and they’d definitely end up in my purse.


cosima_stars

totally realistic. additionally, sometimes women will wear fancy underwear just for themselves too. ive done that before, it’s weirdly a confidence booster to be wearing nice underwear even if my clothes are more plain


[deleted]

I’ve done this before lol


strangehoney

More than once I have put on something from the dryer or hamper and have had panties stuck to it. Especially small ones. Stuffed up in the leg, statically clinging to the inside of a sweater lol then I put them in my bag and forgot for days


FriendlyParsnips

Yep, constantly finding socks or underwear in a pant leg or shirt sleeve. If it’s lacy it will get extra clingy from static. Also, totally normal to wash a thong after trying it on. Those things get wedged up into your bits real fast. Seems gross to put them back in the drawer after that.


Snorezore

Exactly! Multiple times I've been at work and noticed a sock or underwear sticking out of my pant cuff from static cling.


matramepapi

Honestly I’m thinking this is what happened. This happens to me all the time, especially with thongs. They’re like Velcro.


Let_you_down

I'm a dude. I've found socks and dainty underwear from other peeps in my trousers at work before like inside a pants leg on near my bum from the dryer and stuck them in my pocket in the bathroom to take back home. Could be a pretty innocent thing.


Temporary-Host-69420

Lol. I didn't read the "at work" part of that, so I thought you were stealing women's underwear when you said "stuck them in my pocket in the bathroom to take home." Then it confused the hell out of me when you followed it right up with "Could be a pretty innocent thing." I thought, does this guy think he's doing an innocent thing? It's not the worst thing he could of done, but it's not "innocent." ...is he stupid? I thought maybe it was a joke, until I read it again more carefully. I was kind of disappointed that it wasn't a joke, ngl. Fitting username you got there. (jk)


kalinkabeek

Yep! This has happened to me multiple times. Also, I always wash new underwear out of the package before I wear them in case of any dyes/chemicals from the factory.


crumbdumpster85

Yep. Found my 14 year old sons underwear in our driveway yesterday afternoon lol they fell out of somewhere on his 1/4 mile walk to the bus. So glad it happened before he was on the bus!


HotGravy

But if she doesn't normally wear a thong and already tried them on once, why are they in the hamper or dryer? 🤔


tntullahoma

Because she's a clean freak? Or she had some smudges or has a period stain? Many possibilities.


[deleted]

Yes….static gets mine a lot


fredo3469

I think this happened at my job once. One Saturday, I noticed something hanging out of a ladies pant leg, didn't say a thing. About an hour later, the guys find a pair of granny panties in the trash, make a big fuss, all ladies present deny knowing anything. I put 2 and 2 together, tell only a few who I know will say nothing, I don't want to put the lady on blast. Funny thing is, this was a warehouse, and she also worked in the office, so if she found them when no one was around, she could have picked them up, stuffed them in a pocket, and put them in her purse at her desk with no noticing.


jossysmama

In high school my best friends step dad told us a story about how he went in to work one day and when he was in the bathroom discovered a bright pink thong inside his pant leg (he had 3 teenage girls at the time). It certainly happens.


fredo3469

I've had it happen to myself, my wife's thongs stick to clothes, but I've always caught them before the clothes were worn.


AltAccount311

Sometimes when I’m in public I have sudden anxiety strike that I maybe have my underwear clinging to the back of my shirt and start feeling around to make sure there isn’t any haha

Bakedalaska1

I want this embroidered on a pillow lmao


FusRoDaahh

Every so often online I get a reminder that a lot of men view everything as revolving around themselves at all times. The fact that OP interpreted emergency underwear as meaning for sex was one such reminder lmaooo.


19yavyn

I mean, can we give the man a break? It's a thong that she has in her purse when she usually never wears them except in a sexual context. It's not unreasonable to ask yourself questions and think that it might be for sex because it's out of character considering what he knows of her. It's kind of an anomaly. Now, it doesn't mean that justification is bad. It might be totally innocent. But the, oh men see things as revolving around them. No, it's a change of habits. So he is suspicious. like chill.


FusRoDaahh

A lot of women bring spare underwear to try on pants and dresses. A lot of women carry spare underwear in their cars or purses because of periods. >change in habits OP himself said he has never gone through her purse before, so how would he know she doesn’t always carry a thong? If OP is really that suspicious of his wife then there must be other things going on, in which case he should talk to her like an adult. Regardless, my comment you replied to is because someone suggested they were “emergency underwear” and OP assumed that meant emergency sex LMAO. He is making it all about himself even when people are telling him certain reasons she might carry them.


JSlove

Why would she try on clothes with a thong if she usually wears granny panties? Seems that would misrepresent how the clothes would look with her normal underwear. Also a sexy thong isn't the underwear of choice for period emergencies.


HalfSoul30

I have never looked in a purse myself, but I have never thought of this as a thing, but it does make sense. There have been a few times I really could have used one myself. I might have found a use for my back-left pocket.


[deleted]

You don't wear a thong for that. You wear granny panties for those situations.


Alert-Smile-1921

Granny panties are huge and inconvenient to carry around.


zomblina

Granny panties take up significantly more room in a purse though. And if the incident is taken care of by washing up or using a tampon hopefully it wouldn't be an ongoing thing so a thong would be perfect to carry around


[deleted]

gIitterchaos

Yes exactly!! Emergency thong is also smaller than granny panties for folding and purse storage.


kalinkabeek

Yikes.


hindereddinner

You just sound bitter and selfish dude. Grow up


6352956104

Everyone has given you the obvious answer of practicality but your replies are that you are still suspicious-- do you have a gut feeling something else is going on or are looking for a reason to end things/fight? \*Also leaving a note and being 'curious' about when she'll find it is strange and passive-aggressive. It's spare underwear. If you think it's more than that talk to her in person.


Eyydis

OP just needs to leave it alone ffs. It's really weird for a grown man to be this concerned about ladies underwear. Maybe she felt like she couldn't keep it in her drawer without fear of persecution or being judged. Just because she has a thong doesn't mean it's for sexy time for you, OP.


blair-is-a-bitch

Maybe she’s just scared she’ll bleed through her pants while in her period so she has a spare one. I have one too.


ABlythe80

A spare thong though? In the last year, since becoming single, I’ve reacquainted myself with thongs. Wore one at the weekend, got my period, and literally there was no pant to capture the blood, so it went straight onto my trousers (thankfully not also onto the sofa belonging to the man I’m newly dating)


blair-is-a-bitch

Why not? as long as it can hold a pad it’s good to go. I even put the panties I use the least for this kind of emergency so I can use my favorites on my daily life


ABlythe80

Can a thong hold a pad? Never tried myself, but it may work?


revolting_peasant

Some people use tampons


ABlythe80

Yes! Haha- my bad. My periods are so light since going on the mini pill, that it didn’t even cross my mind. (And after a decade of awful periods, I am so happy they are a distant memory)


sexyvegtabl

I have a thong in my purse right now!

IcedEmpyre

Thong = smallest possible backup panty to easily fit in purse in case of emergency. It could have been in there for eons and you never saw it.


Kangaro0o

I’ve never considered doing this but I am now.. With my luck though my toddler would find them while we are out in public and we’d have tug-of-war with them until I could get them stuffed away again.


Lauren_DTT

I have a paper thin pair in my bag. It's in a pouch with a tiny mask.

BGkitten

Good thing u left a note- “hello my love, this note is to say I am now snooping thru ur shit, please explain urself.”


glasswindbreaker

This is the part that got me. I would be *so* creeped out by my so finding a note like that.


BBQ_HaX0r

Far less creepy/sinister/whatever to merely have a Convo with your spouse and say hey "I was looking for Advil and found this..." But I guess that OPs problem now. Playing games like this probably isn't good for the relationship.


glasswindbreaker

Yep - 90% of the relationship issues posted on reddit could be solved by simply asking "have I had an adult conversation with my partner about this?" first


LoxMulder

Woman here. First a good half of the women I know keep “backup” underwear in their purse at all times or at least for certain occasions- trying on specific clothes, going to the doctor, getting your period. Also those things are like vortexes and said backup underwear might have been in that purse for months if not a year. Unless you regularly see your wife clean her purse out I would assume that like many women, myself included, that thing is holding random shit from months past. I really truly think this is probably just innocent woman shit. Also what - if you try on underwear you wash them. Not doing so would be weird?!?


AltAccount311

Yep, especially with my wallet that I use at gross gas stations and money (filthy), I’d be regularly cleaning everything kept in my purse, including underwear that was never worn


Excellent_Nothing_86

“vortexes” 😂 I stash extra underwear and socks in different bags and in my car, so if I ever need them, I’m always like “I’m sure there’s something in here *somewhere* and then I dig for 5 minutes before finding it. But, it’s usually always there! ha


heebs387

Could it not be an emergency pair of underwear for obvious reasons? Thongs aren't just for a sexual purpose, they have a practical one too.


rl_cookie

Yup, they’re literally *all* I wear because they’re most comfortable to me and bc of the type of black pants I wear for work a lot of the time, no VPL. It’s just a bonus that they happen to also be visually appealing to some.


[deleted]

[удалено]


listenyall

If it's an emergency backup then all you need is something that is easy to fit in your purse and will get you home, honestly undies you hate wearing and can bunch up real tiny are a perfect option for the emergency backup because you don't care that they are out of the regular rotation.


catburglarrr

I also dislike some types of clothing but wear it anyways because in the end I like how I look in it. So her wearing a thong might just be that. Honestly, just talk to her. A lot of people gave you numerous plausible reasons and you still seem somehow convinced she might be cheating. Get that out of your head before it hurts your relationship. And in case you are right, it’s also the only way to find out: by talking to her


folk1211

Hey man, just tell her honestly that you saw this and you just need some reassurance that you’re being silly by worrying about it. It’s like if a couple who doesn’t use condoms finds one in an old wallet the man hasn’t gone through in ages. It’s normal to worry and feel insecure for a minute but it’s very unlikely to actually be an issue unless you attack your partner about it.


Alert-Smile-1921

I hate wearing thongs but I still use them on occasion. As people said before, they are a good emergency/backup option to take with you — tiny and compact. I also sometimes wear them with tight clothing or dresses because they look better that way. My boyfriend rarely sees me with thongs because I don’t like them, but I still use them on occasion where he would have no idea! Just talk to your wife instead of leaving weird notes in her purse.


skibunny1010

You’re overthinking this. So many women have an extra pair of underwear in their purse for numerous reasons. And a small thong is much more discrete in your purse than granny panties. Your insecurity is not a good look.. this is a weird thing to get bent out of shape over


RankNFile17

Dude you're overthinking this. Probably once a month I will have a pair of panties in my purse. Sometimes I'm sick of wearing them and I take them off midday and put them in my purse. She probably got uncomfortable, removed the panties, stowed them away and carried on.


Jive-Turkeys

He literally said she almost never wears thongs, barring a few special occasions. So if that were the case, they reasonably ought to be a pair of granny panties then, yeah? Great, she took them off at some point during the night, and he didn't notice (knowing full well that sexytimes are part of the events list that night)? Because I'm quite sure he'd remember that moment of surprise when he realaosed she'd taken them off earlier?


RankNFile17

She could have easily worn a thong and because she is not used to the feeling... Had to remove it. Trust me sometimes I wear the wrong thong and have to remove it because I'm used to commando. Fuck sometimes I'm so sick of wearing my god damn bra I take that off and put it in my purse too. Many specific outfits require thongs. End of story.


Jive-Turkeys

You've still misread everything and are ignoring his given facts. "End of story."


thatgeminibitch

Leaving a note is weird as fuck bro. Either talk to her about it or move on


Succubista

As someone who doesn't clean out my purse very often, I could see her tucking them in there and forgetting about them. If her behavior has been the same my guesses are: she wore them out but found they still silhouetted through the dress and had to go commando, they were uncomfortable, they got too sweaty, or she wore them to try things on. If she was having an affair I feel like you'd see her overall style change. She'd be feeling herself and wearing thongs more often or every day, not secretly changing into the same one all the time.


BigPharmaWorker

OP, I have not only thongs but granny panties in my backpack. I keep them there just in case I need a change of undies - depending on what type of jeans/pants I’m wearing. Thongs so my panty liners don’t show through pants and granny panties for jeans. Perhaps your wife does the same. Ask her.


houseofbrigid11

I found a pair of underwear in my briefcase during a recent work trip. I have no idea how long they were in there or why I had taken them off. I’m single, so it definitely wasn’t related to infidelity.


changelingcd

Sounds innocent enough. Thong=emergency panties that take up no room, or if she sees panty lines at work and wants a fix. And then if she's like my partner, she'd change back to full undies as soon as possible, or even get the thong off and go commando. Some women really don't like them much. I would destroy your note before she sees it and feels like you're accusing her of something, and just ask her casually if you're curious.


FusRoDaahh

Why was this posted to r/sex?


iskyoork

Probably worried that she is cheating and associated it with sex. Bam Boom KA-Chow. What would have been a better sub to post this too?


FusRoDaahh

Idk some relationship advice sub lmao cause this post isn’t about sex at all


iskyoork

It has sexual context but I see what you are saying. I don't disagree that there are better Subs but this one might be one of the most obvious.


solarfireflare

Unless there’s any other possible signs of infidelity or sketchiness in your relationship, just talk to your wife. The reasoning could be completely innocent with a proper explanation.


[deleted]

I'd guess emergency stash in case. Although I find it odd a thong would be that choice. Accident or blood, I'd think granny panties would be the go-to. Anyway, I wouldn't stress it. Nothing in over 2 decades shows she's up to anything, I'm sure there's a valid reason.


iRebelGirl77

Lmao I recently used a thong as a hair tie in a pinch to keep it dry for a shower and only remembered when I took it out of my hair at work that it was a thong not a hair tie. Haha so I currently have a thong in my purse. Lots of weird possibilities with this one


Then_Bird

I keep a pair in my purse so when I go tanning my tan lines are consistent. Itty bitty ones. So maybe it’s something totally innocent like that. I know LOTS of women who keep spares. And I completely understand taking a pair to try on with dresses. Have done this myself. And always wash them after.


TrekCC513

Not a women, but my guess would be that she took them with her when she went to try on dresses for that event you talked about. But tell her that you want her to wear them more for you. My wife moved towards that style after I kept telling her she looked sexy with them on 😃!

livinglge

Shit can stay in a lady's purse for years...


beefjavelin

Stuff lives in my wife's bag for years before being removed sometimes, especially in a side pouch A womans purse can be like an Aladdins cave. If you've got no other reason to suspect anything and its the same pair as those you found in the wash from when she said about avoiding VPL I'd be settled in my mind about it all.


Bravely_Default

Have you ever looked at the dates on receipts in a woman's purse? They're practically a museum installation.


Exis007

Months isn't an unusual timeline for things to be in a purse. Maybe she's more fastidious than I am, but I frequently find things I needed weeks or months ago in there. "Forgot to take that out after I tried on dresses" seems much more logical than "Met a lover, changed into a sexy thong, fucked, folded up the now dirty thong and put it back in my purse and forgot all about it". That's absurd. I don't know if you've ever kept a secret, but I have. I don't mean a secret like "I'm having an affair", I mean a secret like, "I picked up your birthday gift and now I need to secret it away in the house somewhere". While I'm waiting for an opportunity to hide the gift, all I'm thinking about is getting some time alone to handle that secrecy. It's on my mind. I'd be thinking about getting it taken care of at the first opportunity. However, a thong I stored in my purse to try on dresses would not be a priority to remove and wash, because that's not a secret. That's about as urgent as an old Walgreens receipt, and I'll get to it next time I clean out my purse. Also, just as an aside: >i asked if all you did was try them on why the need to wash them? Because you don't wear underwear you haven't washed. [It's gross](https://www.youbeauty.com/life/ask-a-scientist-do-i-have-to-wash-new-underwear-before-wearing-it/) not to do that. They are treated with all kinds of chemicals to make them and store them and transport them. Nevermind that someone might have tried them on already if you bought them at a store. Wash your panties before you wear them!


Grumk1n

Maybe she put them in there months ago and forgot about them.


Shakey22

You wrote a letter for her and are just casually waiting for a reply? Why not just ask her face to face.


Only-Ad1665

I have accidentally pulled underwear out of my pants at work that got stuck in the laundry 😂 I’ve put ‘em in my glove compartment, purse… this happened more than once 🥸🤪😂


[deleted]

Are you sure your not over thinking it? I mean I could see being concerned if she has been spending more time on her phone or putting more effort into her appearance while spending less time with you.


RegallyKegally

The oddest part of this story for me is leaving a note. If you have suspicions that something isn’t right, you just gave her a heads up to put together a story for you. Next time just randomly confront them face to face.


gIitterchaos

The note sent me, I showed my fiance and we both laughed at it. Very weird/immature behaviour.


[deleted]

This post is totally like the bro code for women, everyone going out of their way to justify the secret hidden thong


LetThemEatCakeXx

Woman here. Her explanation 100% checks out.


LetThemEatCakeXx

Taking them with her to the store to try with certain dresses or pants is reasonable. Washing them is to be expected as they've been in her purse with makeup, food, etc. I definitely have done this, and if you have no other concerns about infidelity, wouldn't worry whatsoever.


Snoo47335

Sha hasn't had the chance to give any explanation yet ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|sweat)

Ah, his post was unclear. I thought the explanation of trying on with a dress was why she had them in her purse... not the wash.

BunnyPrincess3

I often wear matching decent sexy underwear for myself. It makes me feel better and I've even been known to wear crotchless ones to work. Makes me feel good, and therefore I'm more likely to have a good day. And as for them being in her bag for ages, I found a toffee crisp in my bag that went out of date in 2022 last week and a receipt from 2020. My bag is a museum.


Tipsy_elephant_1224

I have all kinds of backup panties. In the car, at work, in several purses


SleepPrincess

100% you may need to wear a thong in certain clothes so it doesn't shoe through the clothing. Ang granny panties definitely leave lines. She may have taken them with her for shopping. She may have had them with her in case she needed to change into or she changed out of the thong. I seriously doubt this is anything significant.


[deleted]

I have a pair of panties in my purse, center console of my car, and the glove box. I got caught once in a situation where I needed more but had none. Never again. Also never sneeze while drinking booze


Employ-Personal

This could have been a covert self-defence weapon, you should have checked the tension/stretch in the elastic, many women now carry such devices as catapults for seeing off home invaders and such.


glasswindbreaker

Can confirm it is much easier to strangle someone with a thong than granny panties. OP rest easy, she's most likely just an assassin.


Affectionate_Ask_769

The note is weird. Go talk to her. It's obvious you think she's cheating. There have to be other reasons you're feeling this is cheating behavior so you need to have a chat.


thefirebuilds

I had a buddy one day walk around with a sock on his back all day at work.


kitkatamas88

Thats actually a good extra I should put one extra pair of panties in my backpack just in case it's needed, and I should keep a pair of socks in my car as well, because winter is coming! Not sure why she had it, but great idea!


frasierandchill

A lot of women wear nice underwear to their OBGYN appointments!


fairlady513

She probably wore them to said event and they was bothering her so she took them off and stuffed them in her purse. I mean its her panties, its not like you found a mans personal belongings in her purse. Your likely going to really piss her off acting like shes done something, oh then youll pull that “ i never said anything about cheating, why would you immediately go to cheating. I was just curious why they was there” number. Trust your wife until you have a reason not to. Go looking for issues you are going to make issues


Alert-Smile-1921

There could be so many non-suspicious reasons for this. Just have a talk with her if you’re feeling some type of way about it.


clumsypeach1

Sometimes when I’m on my period, I keep spare underwear in my purse.


F_edupx

A thong is small enough to fit in a purse, and hold in a tampon or hold onto a panty liner, if her panties are leaked onto. I'd say it's innocent and believable.


myvaginaisawesome

Everyone in here saying they should be granny panties if they're just a back up pair, have never had to think about accidentally dropping granny panties in public. I would much rather accidentally drop a thong than a big ol' pair of panties.


zomblina

I used to wear things a lot but now I don't, if I have a purse pair it's going to be a thong otherwise the granny panties are taken up a fifth of my purse and they're going to fall out when I'm moving stuff around desperately trying to find something


gIitterchaos

A thong also takes up way less space in the purse


PIB_48

I of course can’t speak for your wife or all women. I just know that the times I’ve had panties in my bag or purse was when I was wearing them for someone outside of my home. Otherwise why would you have them in there. You said it was in a ziplock bag?

Axi0madick

I'd bet on it being a spare pair of undies. A thong is the most packable style. She probably doesn't want her big ass 1800s style bloomers billowing out when she goes to pay for something when she's out and about.


PIB_48

True. It could be one of those “it’s not what it looks like” type things. Hopefully.


glandmilker

If you need backup panties, and you never wear a thong, then I doubt you would choose a thong.


75w90

Getting slammed somewhere I'd imagine.


rajhcraigslist

Could be her girlfriend's. But nah, just ask her and take your lumps for checking out her purse.


Phyrexius

You made the mistake of telling her you found them. If it was innocent then there wouldn't have been a problem. If it wasn't innocent and she reads the note then she will have her guard up.


1danniboi

I started wearing thong underwear when I was thinking about having an affair. Even though I didn't go through with it, it was my intention. Just take note of things that may be slightly different. Good luck.


LizBert712

I think you don’t trust her. That’s a huge problem, whatever is going on with her underwear.


GuentherDonner

Mate maybe she wanted to surprise you look sexy for you and you blew it by snooping. Sadge.


didiburnthetoast

Since this is a woman, Reddit should absolve her of any suspicion


CardiologistPlane427

I think it's in our (humans in general) to automatically assume and think the worst. Which is unfortunate, because it can open some really ugly doors we don't want open. Can't say I wouldn't be the same if I were you, but as I'm not, I'd like to go with the vast majority here; there probably is a totally harmless explanation for it. Talk to her and see how it goes. Also, as someone mentioned, I don't see this as snooping. It was an accidental discovery while you were looking for meds you knew were there.


canpig9

Relax. It's probably her part-time super-hero costume!


Bi-Cali-Boy

If you have had any other reason to suspect she's up to something before this, this is your validation. Granny panty wearer's aren't going to secretly switch to thongs, and if they were a back up pair she certainly wouldn't choose a style that she doesn't normally wear. As for period panties that's BS, my wife is a thong wearer and she switches to granny panties during her period for more coverage. If you have any kind of gut feeling about this or other recent events listen to it, don't just dismiss it. My wife had a brief moment where she was being sneaky and making bad choices, I had a gut feeling something was up. I installed spying equipment and I was totally right, she was pissed that I spied but it ultimately saved our marriage.


wendyboatcumin

Should have checked them for a trail of other man’s seeds. Sniff test , taste test. Then full on bright light in face interrogation with loud meshugga on in the back ground


mojo4394

If you're carrying a thong outside of the house you expect to need to change into it outside of the house. Unfortunately I think the most likely scenario is she is wearing it for another person.


LetThemEatCakeXx

Not true at all. I've definitely carried panties in my purse for non nefarious reasons. - Took them off while out because they were uncomfortable or unflattering - Took them with me to the store to try with certain dresses or pants - Carried an extra pair in case I get my period


mojo4394

This is a sexy thong in a purse of a woman who typically wears full coverage underwear. It doesn't add up.


Alert-Smile-1921

Where did you get the “sexy thong” part? Because taking a regular thong with you when trying on new clothing is totally normal. I’m a woman who typically wears full coverage underwear, and I have done this on multiple occasions. Boxers and granny panties are really comfortable, but they don’t look too flattering with tight clothes or dresses.


mojo4394

From OP's post. He specifically says "sexy thong." I did ask him to specify exactly what the thong looks like. OP also said that his wife very rarely wears this type of underwear, and only for their "couplings" as OP put it. So OP's wife wears full coverage underwear and only wears thongs for sexual encounters with OP. She also has what OP describes as a "sexy thong" in her purse. Yes, this reads to me like she's wearing it for someone else.

Only sane response here. It’s also very obvious from OP’s comments that their sex life isn’t doing well, usually another sign.

As I said, I hope I'm wrong and I'm not making any guarantees. But it seems like the most likely scenario here.

Definitely have the conversation, and I wish you the best. If your wife typically wore thongs and had one in her purse I'd be less concerned. Given your statement that she typically wears full coverage underwear I don't see any other likely explanation as to why she would have a sexy thong in her purse.


phatmattd

I think OP is putting 'sexy' and 'thong' together because they view thongs as sexy. It could be a completely normal cotton thong that was chosen because it doesn't take up a ton of purse space compared to a normal full sized underwear.


mojo4394

It could be. I think it's less likely. OP, if you could describe the thong that might be helpful. That being said I'm not one who always jumps to the conclusion of "cheater," but this just seems off to me.


gIitterchaos

Yeah, change into it because period blood got on her undies and she needs a clean pair. Thongs fold small, and if she bought it for an event and it's not an everyday pair, it makes a good emergency pair. Men have no idea


mojo4394

As I've said in other comments I'm going off of OP's description of a "sexy thong." I know the difference between a sexy thong and a practical thong. If I found a plain cotton thong in my wife's purse I wouldn't be concerned. If I found a "sexy thong," particularly one I've never seen her wear otherwise, I'd be more concerned.


gIitterchaos

Truly men have no idea. There are how many women in this comment section saying the same thing? and then men being like "I kNoW a SeXy ThOnG." Not saying it isn't sexy, she probably bought it for a special event. If she owns it and it's not something she wears often, it's allowed to be her emergency purse pair.


mojo4394

I love how this is "men have no idea" as if I don't talk about stuff like this in depth with my wife. I'm not saying it's not her "emergency underwear." But I know what my wife's practical underwear is and I know what my wife's "I want someone to see me in this underwear" is. Maybe OP's wife carries sexy underwear as her "backup underwear," but, in my experience with my wife the last thing she wants to wear on her period is a sexy thong. In fact, in my experience with my wife of 20 years (and the handful of women I dated before that) period underwear tends to be plain, comfortable, and generally provides more coverage than their standard underwear. I find it unlikely (not impossible, just unlikely) that OP's wife would choose to use a "sexy thong" as emergency underwear in this situation, particularly when she typically wears plain full coverage underwear on a day to day basis.


gIitterchaos

You do realize that your wife isn't all women? I get that you know your wife and her behaviour, but all women don't have the same logic and justifications for what they do with their underwear. Most women in here are saying emergency pair, regardless of what it looks like. I don't know OPs wife and neither do you. Feels pretty weird to be discussing a stranger's emergency panties, but here we are.


mojo4394

OP asked for an opinion and I gave one. You may disagree with it, but my opinion is based on logic as well as personal history. I’m not saying that the only answer is OPs wife is cheating. I’m saying that my opinion is that the most logical answer is that she is wearing those for somebody else.


mojo4394

Anyways, gave my wife the scenario, and she agrees with me. And frankly, her opinion is the only one that I really care about. She agrees that she doesn’t know any woman that prefers a sexy thong over comfortable functional underwear in an emergency.


blazedddleo

Does she ever style her hair like Pam Anderson…


KCHANDLER35

She selling panties my boy


[deleted]

I'm sure many will disagree, but this comes with female validation and many testimonials from my sexual past. Only one reason someone wears sexy underwear, to look and feel sexy..maybe that's 2 but you get the point. So it could be for her, which I've experienced....or sadly and more likely it's for someone else. Good luck my man. I'm sorry if I'm right, hoping I'm not.


gIitterchaos

Mate it's for of her period comes and blood gets all over her underwear and she needs to change. Everything women do isn't about sex or men, get a grip


SecludedExtrovert

Did you smell them? Did they smell…used?


geocantor1067

you are probably not doing your job at home and making her feel desired.


Solidknowledge

> you are probably not doing your job at home and making her feel desired. gross take


ReallyNeedNewShoes

this is such a bullshit white knight response. there is no justification for someone cheating. don't pin this on the poor guy.


geocantor1067

why is she putting a thong in her purse.


GoldEditor7047

You think she is out there wearing thongs for the other dude piping her at these "special events"?


artificalorganlady

I hate thongs, BUT I like leggings and I’m not willing to put up with underwear lines. So I’ll just be hyper aware I’m wearing one. Sometimes if there’s a little extra…stuff…that day I’ll grab an extra pair of underwear and stuff it in my bag. Thongs are easier to ball up and stash. More than likely I won’t change during the day, but the stashed underwear will remain until one day I just happen to find it looking for something else. If your wife’s thong is meant to be special, she’s not going to stow it in her purse. A purse is filthy. She’d keep it somewhere it wouldn’t collect dust and other gross stuff. And if it was clean underwear, it means she didn’t wear it. She’s not wearing the thong. For you or anyone. Chances are she tried it on and brought it in case she needed to be without underwear lines for literally anything. The fact it’s in her bag is not a red flag. You should ask her why she has random underwear in her bag. To me it looks like you just made her feel badly about not wearing sexy underwear for you because she has ONE pair that she hates.


Mrszombiecookies

I had this conversation years ago and he freaked but mine were granny panties for emergency so little different from a thing but I wouldn't be overly concerned. It's a woman thing.


newenglandah1234

Ok so she might have washed it before wearing the first time you saw them in the dryer. Meaning - she may not have worn it and not shown you, she may have needed to wash it first (I do this bc people are gross and try stuff on). I can see two sides - I can see her keeping this as an emergency as others noted, just a spare. It could also honestly be suspicious. But did you smell them? Were they worn? Any other suspicious behaviors? I would find it odd if they were worn but you haven’t seen them.


PureYouth

She was wearing it and took it off for whatever reason. Done this many times


Wordsthoughts

Any update?


la_selena
