What Should You Do With Lingerie From An Ex?

Today's guest post comes from Krista, a regular author over at The Lingerie Post. The Lingerie Post is one of the best sources anywhere for finding out the latest lingerie, underwear, and swimwear news. They also have a great lingerie sales page that I check at least once a week.
If you enjoy this feature by Krista, why not read her other Lingerie Post articles here? And don't forget to tell us what you do with the lingerie an ex gave you in the comments!
My friends have really taken to having a friend in the intimates industry. So naturally when I'm around, conversations about lingerie often come up. I was in a cab en route to a party with some girlfriends when one of them shared the story of wearing one of her most fabulous bra and panty sets for an important date and how it just happened to be a gift from her ex. "Should I feel bad about that?" she asked. This prompted the other friend to talk about a few pieces in her collection that she's had for a while that were purchased during the era of an ex. "It's mine. I don't want to throw it away. But how do you repurpose lingerie?"
Hmmm...that's a good question. Is lingerie like a song? Can you just create new memories with it and let the old ones fade or will you still attach it to that one particular person? If it is attached to one particular person, do you just get rid of it? If you are addicts like us, you probably spent a pretty penny on some of those pieces and "getting rid of it" is just not an option. Unlike a song that you can flip a switch and get rid of, lingerie is a bit more...well, intimate.
I don't have an answer to the question. To each her own. But I'll tell you my opinion based on my own lingerie philosophy. Lingerie is YOURS! Especially if it is something you bought for yourself. At the end of the day, it is about you feeling good, confident, sexy, empowered. If he pays enough attention to enjoy it (without being in too much a rush to rip it off), then that is the bonus. The icing on your already very fabulous cake. So go ahead and repurpose your pieces. Wear for yourself. Wear them for someone else. Just wear them with confidence and you'll hear no judgment from me.
