Yesterday I received a question via email that ties in well with a post I had already planned on making. The question is as follows:
“… who chooses what is worn underneath, and what, if anything, influences the decision? If the models choose entirely for themselves, are their choices influenced more by the fact that it’s going to be seen, and they don’t want it to be too much like intimate apparel, or is it in their minds simply another form of “outerwear”?”
The models select their own panties to wear (as they generally do for all other wardrobe needs with the exception of costumes or uniforms). We ask the girls to please bring bikini style, boyshorts, or other fuller coverage panties as opposed to thongs or g-strings as this seems to be the strong preference of our members. It also works best for many of our scenes particularly if a spanking is to be given over the panties. (See a previous discussion on panty preference on my blog here “Panty Preference” as well as one on “Panty Color Preference“.
Sometimes a girl will come to the shoot without the requested style of panties or even none at all for any number of reasons (forgot them, don’t own any, didn’t read the email regarding wardrobe request, etc.) and so I do keep a few pairs of brand new backup panties on hand just in case.
Most girls put a lot of thought into their panty selection knowing that they are going to be seen, photographed, and video taped. :) I don’t believe that they are too concerned about the fact they look like intimate apparel because in fact they are, and often have fun in showing very cute or sexy pieces that otherwise wouldn’t often be seen by too many people.
Much time and attention is often paid in selecting the perfect pair to go with the scene and color coordinate with the outfit. On many shoots, we models will gather in the dressing area and sort through our overstuffed bags of panties showing off our latest finds and ask for help in picking which pretty pair should be worn in the upcoming scene.
But now it’s time for me to throw out another question to you on the topic of panties and spanking. How much do panties matter when the spanking is delivered on the bare from the start? If the panties only make an appearance for a few seconds as they are yanked down, does it really matter what color or how pretty they are? Does it perhaps even matter if they are a thong if they are going to be bunched up at the knee along with jeans or shorts?

In answer to your question: yes, I think it does matter because even the most fleeting of appearances sets the scene, influences the mood, has an effect on the spanker. It’s a bit like the importance of the first few seconds when a person appears for an interview…that’s when first impressions are formed and we’re told that immediate, gut reactions often prove to be more accurate than carefully analysed ones (although I would want to make lots of exceptions to such a statement!) .
Certainly, from a personal point of view, I like the two ladies I spank to be wearing pretty and ‘proper’ panties….i.e. not thongs etc.

Paul here (Australia) I like to think that the panties or even clothing choice reflects the personality of the female.
Playing out a role play may begin with a spanking on the skirt or panties to warn a naughty girl of what may follow. Thongs expose the bottom too early.
As is the natural course of the day perhaps the panties have ridden up to reveal a little of the cheeks. Pulling them down thats the dramatic moment no more warnings for you young lady!!!!

Hi Pixie,
A question straight to my heart..! And the answer comes from my heart
Yes it DOES matter what kind of panties the girls wear.
To me it creates either the correct atmosphere or it ruins it. It is THAT important..!
Just as examples: A girl in school uniform wearing sexy fantasy colored panties ruins the scene for me.
A girl who plays a naughty daughter in a domestic discipline scene, but wears the panties (and stockings)of a hooker ruins it for me too.
It is my firm believe that panties should ALWAYS match the scenario and the atmosphere in which the spanking is taking place.
That counts for spankings that are given straight to the bare as well, as the panties can still be seen sitting ‘half mast’. I wish PB had more videos where the spanking starts straight to the bare bottom as that is - in my opinion - more realistic. In a domestic environment spankings are given by ‘mom’ or ‘dad’ either on the panties or on the bare bottom.
In the photo series that come with the videos very little attention is given to the lowering of the panties. It gives me a thrill to see the baring of the buttocks, whilst they are still virgin white; unblemished…
To me it adds a lot to a good spanking photo series, to see ‘mom’ lecturing her daughter with the girl over her lap. The skirt is lifted and she caresses the buttocks over the (preferably white) panties. The verdict is given and she lowers the panties to half way the thighs. We see the anticipating bare buttocks pure as they are. That - to me - really ADDS to the photo series and to the video as I love female buttocks as much as I love spanking them.
Terrific question, Pixie and I’ sure you will get many responses. I can only hope that many agree with me as that might give us more of the desired photos and videos from PB…

pixie another very interesting post i do like the girls of pb to wear interesting panties it compliments their beauty love from tim

I’m such a panty man that whenever I see a series of stills from a spanking, the only pictures I save are the ones with panties visible. I like it when the panties come down without being turned inside out or rolled up.
I’ve got an idea for models that show up without their own panties. You should get a pack of gigantic Hanes Her Way cotton briefs for them to wear as backup. That might be incentive for them not to forget in the future, as well as providing some fun for those of us that actually are turned on by big panties.
June 23rd, 2008 - 8:48 am
I liked what FUNBUN and Southern Expat said. Panties are part of the over all spanking picture. It gives a more “natural” spanking appearance. Especially when it comes to the “whities” or even the white or pink panties with little flowers on them. Nude spanking just doesn’t have the same effect.
June 23rd, 2008 - 1:26 pm
It´s really a very good question. The fact is panties matter, I don´t know exactly why, but it´s a real thing.
Most of us don´t like thongs or g-strings, and I mean it´s because they show us all before the spanking, and break the magic moment of “pulling down the panties”. A good panties choice make the videos more interesting and erotic, don´t you?
PS: I have published your interview in my blog today, Pixie.
Spanish spankos are very happy of your participation.

UTTERLY and COMPLETELY agree with this
June 23rd, 2008 - 6:05 pm
I think that wearing proper panties matters a lot in straight-to-bare scenes, especially when you have that special mother/daughter role play ritual of the baring of the unspanked bottom just before the punishment begins. Panties should be lowered with a degree of formality, not just yanked down. This should be accompanied by a line similar to: “Right, young lady, now you’re going to get it.”
I also think it adds a nice loving touch when ‘mum’ pulls the panties back up at the end of the punishment. It’s as if to say that the bare bottom spanking was an intimate moment between the two of us.
Maybe that could be another topic of discussion – should the panties be pulled back up when the spanking is over? (Unless the spankee is going to be sent bare-bottomed to the corner, I guess.)
June 23rd, 2008 - 10:17 pm
It’s simple for me. I notice if the panties match the outfit. I guess it’s a girl thing. I also like Funbun’s comment mentioning a lecture while the girl is otk. For me it’s all about loving the dialogue though.
June 24th, 2008 - 2:41 am
Dear Pixie,
I have to agree and say that the panties do matter, even if they’re just going to be pulled down straight away. Obviously, this is a visual medium, so anything that creates a good picture should be taken into consideration. A shot of the spankee’s panty-clad bottom is a lovely precursor of things to come. Seeing them in place, however briefly, helps build the anticipation for what comes next.
Where they wind up after they’ve been lowered can add to the scene, as well. For instance, if they’re down around her ankles, and she starts kicking from the spanking, the panties are on display as they hinder the kicking somewhat and get stretched between the kicking legs, making an interesting visual.

I think it matters because you’re creating a character, and the choice of underwear should be an extension of the character’s personality as well as her other clothes. Then again, if I see some really cute panties and they’re yanked down within seconds, I get this silly feeling that goes a bit like “Nooo! I want to admire those panties some more! Pull them back up!” which, I guess, distracts from the scene.
But I suppose my mind just works in weird and twisted ways…
June 24th, 2008 - 6:25 pm
“I don’t own a single pair of panties, so I came to the shoot commando style. Watta ya gonna do, spank me?”
(Thanks for that ‘behind the scene’ view of how much effort you and “the girls” put into your panty choices for a shoot. It’s nice to know the lengths you all go to and the importance placed on your selections.)
I agree with what Aristotle, Funbun, and Dr. Ken have already said, and it would be hard to add to their comments. As an inveterate ‘panty watcher’ (like most males with a pulse), I have to say that even the briefest glimpse can speak volumes and ignite the imagination. Don’t underestimate the affect on the rest of the scene that the “right” or “wrong” panties, subjective as those words are, can have. For me, a thong in a spanking scene is like wearing no panties at all, and it ruins the moment. Also, what’s the point in taking them down when essentially the model is already bare?
As has been pointed out, straight to the bare is more realistic in parental discipline settings, but straight to the bare need not be straight to the spanking.
There is one method of baring the bottom, which PB hasn’t done (that I’m aware) or for some reason doesn’t do, but which is also quite realistic: That is standing the model beside the Top, taking down her pants/shorts, then her panties, and turning her OTK. This last step could be delayed long enough for a scolding, or a scolding/lecture could be delivered OTK immediately before the spanking. For modesty purposes, the baring through to OTK could be shot from behind but, whether her panties end up around her knees or ankles, they’ll neither be out of sight nor mind to the viewer, so the style and appearance matter.
And yes, Steve (UK), a nice touch is pulling them back up afterward.
June 24th, 2008 - 6:43 pm
I agree with the general sentiment here; it’s all about verisimilitude. The character should wear whatever is appropriate to the setting of the scene, and in the case of thongs in particular, there is no practical reason to pull a thong down or off for the spanking itself.

I’d like to see the odd shoot with thongs, like a mother spanks a daughter for wearing thongs when they were told not too. The mother could be spanking for something else then issues extra spanks or an implement on discovery of the thong. Like Patron Hall, I don’t like when thongs are pulled down as it’s unrealistic.
June 25th, 2008 - 2:41 am
An interesting post, Pixie - thank you.
Yes - panties (or knickers) - do matter - and especially if the spanking is to begin over clothes. The nether garments should be suitable to the rest of the costume: I am sure that most girls would reckon to co-ordinate their clothes and doing so adds to the realism. So when the models are choosing their panties they should (other than if they are in uniform (schoolgirls for instance when “regulation” panties should be worn - unless the infraction earing the spanking is NOT wearing regulation ones) their choice should harmonise with the ret of their outfit. Even when the spanking is to be straight to the bare I feel that this should apply. And hooray that your models do have such a varied choice of knickers to wear.
Two comments however: first, tghere is sometimes an extra element of “je ne sais quoi” when the spankee is required to remove their own knickers, rather than having then yanked down by the spanker - although during the course of a spanking that can be quite charming
(The same effect actually if they are pulled up into the crack exposing bare cheeks; and second, I have seen films where a thong is worn, and gratuitously pulled down during a spanking, which is pointless, other than in adding to the humiliation of the spankee or for purely sexual titillation. The thong adds no protection, and I just cannot see the point. Pulling one down is just pointless. The only exception might be if a scoolgirl was wearing one with uniform, in which case she might be required to remove it herself before the spanking earned by wearing it began.
June 25th, 2008 - 12:25 pm
hi
yes it sure is:)I have a pantie fetish and while your on the topic of spankings and panties I would love too request to see you spanked Pixie in hello kitty panties on punished brats.

The cuter the panties the better:)
love cute knee socks too hehe.
Michelle
xxxxx
p.s pig tails look very cute too:)
not tht your not super cute already!
June 25th, 2008 - 2:16 pm
I love panties.
I can’t say it enough. I’ve got at least 100 pairs and definitely don’t intend to stop buying. It’s a careful decision every morning selecting a pair of panties. Whether it’s a lounge day or not.
And on camera? Gah, it takes forever to pick which pair will make their debut! And trying to remember if I’ve already worn them on camera (THAT is fun). Most of the people I play with, dislike thongs, so I rarely wear them, plus I find them uncomfortable….
But…panties….ah panties! Not sure what else I can say
June 25th, 2008 - 8:24 pm
Aristotle - First impressions. What a good way of putting it!
(Australian) Paul - I think panties often do reflect the personality of the female as well as the many moods of the individual. Are we feeling particularly naughty, sexy, flirtatious, cute, innocent, sassy, etc. So much can be said with panties!!
Funbun - I agree that I’d like to have more photos of the pulling down of the panties before the spanking is administered so that the bottom is still white. Just need to remember to do so prior to the action taking place! As for more straight to the bare scenes, we’ve already begun to make that change in our shoots with each girl being required to receive at least one straight to the bare scene. But the caressing by “mom” or “dad” for that matter makes me uncomfortable. I know it’s roleplay, but that kind of suggested affection between family members squicks me out.
Certainly did receive a lot of good and fairly consistant feedback. Helps me to know that I need to keep asking our girls to bring panties, not thongs, even for straight to the bare scenes.
TIM - I too of course am always curious to see what panties the girls have found and how they pair them up with the rest of their ensemble.
Southern Expat - Your comment on not liking when the panties are turned inside out or rolled up reminds me of a few of my personal panty pet peeves - I was going to list them all here, but I have so many that I think I’ll save it for another post. Yes, yet another panty post!!
Cometospk - The unveiling of the bottom is a key turning point to the scene and of course the panties often play a huge part in that. I think it’s so interesting that as popular as thongs are generally speaking, that so many spankos dislike them.
Thank you so much for posting the interview you did with me.
I hope your readers enjoy it.
Alex - I’ll see if I can’t get a few such photos of the still white bottom during our shoot this weekend.
Steve (UK) - One of my favorite bloopers / outtakes was when Veronica pulled up Beverly’s panties and Bev looked back and said “thanks Mom”. It was too cute.
2Good - I’m so conditioned to coordinating my panties with my outfit that in every day life I find myself selecting my panties first and planning my outerwear around the color scheme or style. :-/
Dr. Ken - A panty-clad bottom can indeed be a beautiful thing. Sometimes it’s almost a shame when previous little time is spent on them if they are a particularly cute pair! I also agree that the panties around the ankles on occasion add a bit of visual interest. When they’re around my ankles though, I find myself worrying that I’ll snap the elastic and fire them off like a slingshot if I kick too much. I suppose that would be an interesting visual in and of itself. >:)
Kate - Well, my mind must work in a similar weird way. Another question that comes to mind along that vein is is it ok for a girl to wear the same panties in another scene/shoot if they are only given a cursory role in a straight to the bare scene?
Dreams of Horses - You’re right. We don’t tend to feature the tops removing the girls panties until they are already in OTK position or if they are facing away from the top about to receive a standing up / bent over spanking. I think we do this not only for reasons of model modesty but because we don’t wish to suggest a more sexual relationship with the girl’s bits right at the seated spanker’s eye height particularly when it’s a familial role play. Maybe we could try to arrange for such an unveiling in other styles of scenes though. Will definitely keep it in mind.
PEH - Thongs are tricky in that respect. Not a true bare if it stays up and yet not covering much either.
anon - The topic of thongs and whether or not they’re allowed to be worn by a parent reminds me of the commercial for the Bill Engvall show where he asks his wife why he’s never scene her wear the teeny tiny thong he’s just plucked out of the fresh laundry. When she replies that it’s because they belong to their teenage daughter, he shrieks in horror. Bet I know how many of us would continue that scene.
Winchester - Removing one’s own panties is an interesting touch and something I’ll keep in mind for the future. I can certainly relate to receiving (adult, consensual) disciplinary spankings and being told to take down my own panties and wait in position. Shivers!!
Michelle - I had an adorable pair of purple keyhole (small slit near the top of the backside) Hello Kitty panties, but I just checked my drawer and I must have tossed them.
They were so cute. I’m going to see if I can find an equally cute replacement pair now.
Kate - I’m in the same boat as far as the panty fetish. Can you imagine if we went to the mall together?? We’d be there for hours and could very well end up not seeing much more than the various lingerie departments. Let’s go!
June 26th, 2008 - 7:49 pm
Yes. Your model guidelines are along the same idea as my preferences although I would add briefs. (I am dating myself I guess.) Printed cotton brings to mind what I would see on the playgrounds at school and pastel-colored nylon brings back thoughts of high school and college.
So please do keep to your guidelines!
