Commando?

I have heard a rumour - perhaps not appropriate to the weather we are having - that young ladies out with a certain well-known hunt, are in the habit of 'going commando' in order to avoid a visible 'panty line' showing through their breeches. Being male I found this intriguing and with a purely academic interest in such matters wondered if anyone could confirm this?
 
Oh god I couldn't bare it!!! One of my ex's dared to me to wear suspenders and works under my hunting gear one day. Needless to say there were lots of blokes who wanted a 'lead' from me that day!!!
 
As an ex Royal Marine Commando, and many years ago, a regular follower of the Quorn, I am intrigued, did I miss something all those years ago? A brief explanation of the term to one whose memory is somewhat dulled by time, would be gratefully received
 
I have to confess to going out commando on several occasions though not hunting! I think I would want extra around that area in case of mishap... My Mother is a darling though and always has spare pairs for all of us that would be respectable for doctors to see in case of emergencies... We still have her and not our respective partners as our emergency contact for just such occasions. Its always the first thing she considers when she hears we are on our way to a five hour wait in public...

I think its called sods law that the Doctor in A&E looks like George Clooney on the day you actually break a leg (and you Mother isn't around). It has happened once - only once - so now I ensure I wear garments that would not make anyone blush when ever I am likely to take a trip in an ambulance! There is also a very embarrassing tale about me not noticing that one of my darling terriers had chewed a rather large section of material from ones breeches and one was seen hurtling across country with a draft... no I haven't lived it down, yes I always check now and yes I still blush! Its a shame that farmers and game keepers have a tendancy to stay in the same job for years on end...

Learn from the mistakes of others ladies!!!

Dear boy, may I take you aside and hope not too many are listening. It is when the fair sex decide not to wear, shall we say anything under their joddies.

How do I know that, ah well a long story, indeed several long stories.

However, more to the point is it a matter of coming out incorrectly dressed.

Well I suppose it is a matter for the discretion of the master. From my very limited experience, the less there is to get in the way of indiscredtion the better!;)
 
I’d rather see someone’s VPL than the horrors that could be displayed should one’s breaches split in the wrong place when going comando! :eek:
 
I did accidently once wear a g-string under my breeches for a days hunting and I have to report that they "flossed" my butt. That is one mistake I will NEVER make again.

As for commando, oh no, Bridget Jones knickers for me all the way!
 
A friend of mine I used to hunt with in England was always teasing me for wearing knickers and that she could see my VPL! Never bothered me, I like to be comfortable.

Do blokes actually noticed the VPL? and if so what do they think??

LOl - i always go commando under breeches ;)
 
Same goes for the gentlemen - and commando should be compulsory for field masters. Unmanly pant lines put me off my stride. Give me a seamless rump to follow any day.
Ps skittles wasn't a "lady" but by god she could outclass & outride them on the hunting field
 
Hmm.. my friend once got thrown into a barbed wire fence and her breeches were completely ripped apart. Underwear does have its uses!
 
Aha this post made me chuckle - the amount of times I have worn the wrong knickers out hunting, so uncomfy aha! Couldn't imagine going without, I remember in a Jilly Cooper book a character did this showjumping and the split over a jump ;) ahahaa! x
 
Still laughing over an Ex RM asking for an explanation of Commando... of COURSE you don't know what that means.. speaking as one who has an ex RM in her back category of OH's..Now wondering how I can remove the coffee I have spluttered all over my keyboard and nearby dog..

Its special Bridget Jones for me when riding full stop. I too have made the mistake of attempting to ride with a G string. The only nice thing about that was the absolute pleasure in taking the ruddy things off!. As for going without - nope not a chance, I have spent far too much time in A&E to risk such a thing so have a good selection of proper sports underwear now..!
 
The only ones I can wear are my expensive Jack Wills ones... sounds silly I know, but I have these 'extra-comfort seemless' ones and ugh just no! Soreeee! Ahaa! x
