I draw the line

Visible panty line (VPL) is that line created by your underwear, that you can see when clothed. And I loathe it! That’s probably a bit harsh, if it’s there, it’s there and I won’t judge you if you’re having a day when it’s visible.

Don’t get me wrong, seeing the way underwear frames someone’s arse is very sexy. It’s just when you add a layer of clothing over the top that it takes something sexy and turns it into something quite uncomfortable. From a personal perspective, I find someone looking at VPL creepy!

I’ve gone out of my way to ensure I don’t have any VPL showing. Whilst I prefer baggier clothes to hide my body in, there have been times where I’ve had to wear something more figure hugging, like when I go to the gym. When that’s the case, I’ve picked underwear that doesn’t have any obvious seams. And in some cases I’ve chosen to go commando to make sure I don’t have someone staring at me and getting off on seeing something that I don’t want them too.

I do understand the exhibitionist nature of wanting others to see your VPL but I feel it very much falls in the category of if people haven’t consented to that exhibitionism, then should you really be inflicting it upon them, as with any form of kink.

Clearly there are blurred lines here, I think we’ve all been guilty of just throwing an outfit on in the morning and rushing out of the door without giving ourselves, or how we look, a second glance.

Robert Frost

Life happens, sometimes unintentional outcomes arise from decisions we make and we shouldn’t spend our time worried about the judgements or thoughts of others but sadly we are and often for good reasons.

Those of us assigned female at birth are always looking out for people who view us in a predatory way. Whilst I expose myself here on my blog, this isn’t my everyday mundane life. There I want to just get on with my life without being objectified and sometimes a little thing like visible panty line stops me from being able to do so.
