Jennifer Garner joins the mummy-knickers brigade!

Here at MummyPages we have a soft spot for Jennifer Garner. Although she is a stunning famous actress with a gorgeous movie star husband, she often demonstrates how she is just another normal mum.  Whether she’s out in the rain watching little Violet’s soccer game, or shopping at the farmers market with hubby Ben, she is clearly one of the most down-to-earth mums in Hollywood.
 
 
But the photo that we really related to was the 'holey-knickers' photo. One of the unfortunate side effects of becoming a mum is your underwear drawer may take a battering. While we might find time to do the occasional clothes shopping, finding time to buy lovely new lingerie is a rarity. And when we’re getting ready in the morning, we generally don’t have time to search our drawers for our best undies, so, like Jennifer, we grab the first pair at hand and try to get dressed quickly before the kids come bursting into us.
 
 
However, we then spotted Jen wearing a pink lacy thong and wondered, is this typical mummy underwear? Maybe, once again, she just grabbed the first pair out of the wash, although we suspect after the holey-knicker photo, she started choosing her underwear more carefully in the mornings. 
 
Do you have a mixed bag drawer of undies?  Do you replace and replenish frequently or do you wear them until they wear out? And what kind of underwear do you prefer? Nice matching underwear or are you part of the comfy-undies brigade?

I defo don't think being a mum means its ok to have knickers with holes in them! My underwear isn't always super sexy and they are usually fairly comfy but they certainly aren't shabby and torn! It doesn't take much effort to have a decent knicker drawer - just pick up a few new pairs in Dunnes or Pennys every few months and throw your oldest ones away. I wouldn't be too impressed if my husband was walking around with holey-underpants!

Omg my knicker drawer is the exact same as Jennifers - there is everything in there from torn ones to random thongs to big granny knickers. I wish i could just throw out all my underwear and go on a lingerie shopping spree! Unfortunately life as a mom doesn't leave much time for a day dedicated to knicker shopping.

I think she comes across as a real hands on mum and the fact that her knickers are raggy, is actually kinda, well "real". I'd hate for anyone to look through my underwear drawer. LOL

@Maxi - do you really change your undies that often? I have 3 kids and some of my knicks date back to my first childs birth. I used to do the whole matching bra and knicks sets but I can't be arsed anymore. Who has the time? And as for my partner, I don't think I'd notice if he wore my knickers.

I think fair play to her, shows she as down to earth as rest of us and gets on with normal duties. Wouldn't like anyone to see my day to day undies, have my going out ones of course!!!

My motto is "When the holes appear, get new gear"

Once a hole appears, they go in the bin lol. Comfy underwear all the way. It is still possible to have nice and comfy underwear though. Comfy doesn't have to mean ugly.

Oh, I so got into the 'granny' knicker thing when pregnant with my 3 girls. They are so comfy and even though my youngest is now 2, I struggle to wear anything sexier. My husband commented once, when hanging them on the line, that he thought they were a pillowcase, they were so big. ;) I don't care, they are still worth the comfort, but we have a rule now that my knickers are not to be hung out on the line.

Look All jennifer garner is displaying is the common known fact that when you have kids your life is no longer your own. Your dress sense deteriorates holey knickers or knickers with no holes doesnt seem to bother you. you put on what is there in that moment in time. Besides there are plenty of occassions for her to look all glam and drop dead gorgeous that its nice to see a celebrity looking normal for a change.. All this crap of dressing up ,rocking the latest pumps, sporting the newest makeup flair to in the end only going to the local shop is mind boggling... I have a 9yr old and a 7 month old so I am back to if its clean put it on nobody is gonna see anyway lol.. to answer your other questions : in my drawers there is a mixture... I am thinking of labelling the drawers... Lazy days, feeling alrite days, need to suck it in days TO DAMN Im Fierce days.. any guesses to which one my hubby likes best ;)..

In fairness I don't think Jen has much of an excuse to wear those holey knickers. Chuck them in the bin!!! That goes for us mere mortals as well as uber rich and fancy celebs.
