The Miseducation of the Black pantie...

Supportive bras and black panties, two things every diva needs. I was 13 when I bought my first pair of black undies and boy was I excited. I was scared too, see I wasn’t suppose to have them because they were too “sexy”. It wasn’t a G-string or any crazy thing like that, they were a pair of 100% cotton Hanes bikini cut panties. For the life of me I couldn’t figure out why was it such a big deal that I had them. I didn’t understand this big deal until now at the age of 16.

    For those of you who don’t know, there is a miseducation on black underwear. It’s always said to be sexy and no one wants their 13 year old being anything near sexy. I honestly wanted the black ones over the white because I felt like I was way too old to be sitting in those old white granny type underpants that my Aunt would always pick out. They were always either two sizes too big or just plain ugly and because I was of age and could go shopping alone, I got me a pair.

  Black is considered to be a color along with red that represents passion, love and of course sex. Don’t believe me? Why are red and black two of the most worn and advertised colors during valentines day? I think the media plays a role in how black underclothes are looked at as well. We all know that any woman wearing anything less than clothes is a sex symbol, but it’s something about that women in black that pulls in everyone, most importantly men. So, to have your teen in what men look at is horrifying to any mother.

      I think that this idea behind the black pantie can be a little over exaggerated sometimes. For one, it’s becoming more and more popular that women and girls wear a black undergarment while on their menstrual cycle. In case of a leak black allows the color of the fluid to not show up as obvious as any other color. This saves a lot of girls from many days of embarrassing moments, so in this case I believe that young girls should be allowed to wear the black undies. Many believe black panties much like a girls cycle is kind of like a right of passage into womanhood, and I believe this to be true. So, in my opinion when a girl gets her first period she should also get her first pair of black underwear. I however, had to wait 2 whole years due to my upbringing and the odd rules of my home. I really would like to hear the opinions of you ladies. Tweet us @FWFblog and tell us what you think.
