Is Underwear Really Embarrassing or No Big Deal?

[Piper]

I love acting in plays but my high school's theater doesn't have dressing rooms and boys and girls have to change their costumes in front of everyone. No one seems to mind or say anything though. My friend Molly and I are the only two freshman girls in the play and on Friday we had to get undressed backstage in front of three cute guys. I took off my jeans and felt embarrassed that the boys could see that my panties had flowers all over them...Then Molly changed her costume and she was totally cool about it and didn't care if the guys saw her underwear. Molly is pretty and was wearing plain white panties and I'm sure the guys thought that was cute. I actually admire Molly for being so outgoing and want to get over my shyness. Would it bother you if you had to change in front of boys and girls? :whoops:

I have had to change before in front of both guys and girls. It has not bothered me ever. That may be because I'm a guy though so it might not seem as bad to me as it would to you.

[randomnessqueen]

i dont think its embarrassing at all, not sure why it would be.
also, in theatre noones really looking, they dont care, thats just the norm for theatre.
everyone is getting changed, so its not like you are the center of attention. ive even just chilled in my underwear offstage with the others, whlie i waited for my next scene to arrive.

[TheDeepestDepths]

In that sort of setting everyone's too busy thinking that everyone's looking at them to look at other people. It's like being at the beach, no one is watching other people change even when the towel slips while you're struggling to get the top of your swimsuit over your breasts. I don't care because no one else does.

Besides no one sees more of you when your in your underwear than a simple bikini. Yet the latter is completely acceptable. It makes me laugh the way society thinks waterproof material equals more modesty. xP

[workingatperfect]

That's something you just have to deal with in theater. Most of the time, you don't have time to go to the dressing rooms, or sometimes you're on the wrong side of the stage, so you have to change in front of everyone. But you don't really worry about how you look, you're more focusing on getting done in time and what scene is next.

Edit: I'd like to add though, on a more personal note. Outside of that setting, it would bother me changing in front of guys. In a play you're surrounded by people dressing you. I'm uncomfortable with my body, so without that buffer, plus the distraction, yeah, I'd be very uncomfortable.

[Professional Russian]

My god you saw someone in there underwear? Quickly let's make them an outcast cause one wears it. Come on people if you get embarrassed over being seen in your underwear you are embarrassed way too easily. Mostly everyone wears underwear. Does it really matter if someone sees it or not?

[beccab]

Just think of it like being at a pool in a bikini, its really not a big deal unless you are wearing a thong or see through panties or something. but, if it makes you uncomfortable, ask them to turn around or go some place else. They will respect your decision.

I'm not that comfortable around guys, so it would bother me personally. Just last year I got over having to change around girls. It's more of being too aware of surroundings and so self conscious that makes me that way.

Theatre kids are some of the weirdest people, and can be really awkwardly open around each other, but my favorite part about being in theatre is that people don't really care what you do, because they all do quirky things too. If you like wearing flower panties, go ahead. I wear bright blue underpants and rainbow socks, and no one minds. :)

Hey, if it's something you love, it doesn't matter. For example, I LOVE band. Adore it. And sometimes we have to leave in the middle of class of something for a concert or competition, and we have to change on the bus. This used to bother me a lot, and I'd make a friend block me from view, but now, I think that everyone I know has seem me half naked at least once or twice.

[Purplebunny]

Haha no, I had to change infront of people quite a few times, nobody cares, or pays attention. Its not weird at all, unless you have somebody staring at you deeply while you change. now THAT is weird.

[Lisa Monroe]

well when i change underwear isnt embarasing because i dont wear any

^^ This.

It's no big deal.

Personally, I find this topic so interesting, because if you think back to....say...indians, and ancient times, or even back in the 1800s, nudity or even half nudity wasn't a big deal (except for women (1800s)) because everybody knew that that's what was supposed to be there. Now, sex is so important in everybodies lives that we've closed our minds to the beauty of a naked form. If someone so much as catches a glimpse of a boob or a dick, they flip shit. Back then, it would be 'Hey your dicks hanging out, might wanna put that away.' Now though, people think its gross and that shouldn't even happen. So no, I don't think its bothersome to change in front of anyone. Even from what I've just said, I don't walk around my house naked, but I still think its stupid to freak out because someone saw some skin.

[Ihaveagun]

No big deal at all. Too busy thinking about what I'm supposed to do and say to be embarrased.

[Jevon]

I really don't mind it I mean I would prefer if no one saw me change but if I don't have a choice then oh well

After reading this I feel you and your friend are skinny and tallish yes? Well I am also into theater and acting so I've done this multiple times. But one time I went to school and wore leggings so I wore a thong underneath them (less lines). Anyway I completely forgot that I was doing a school show during the day and I had to change. So I was about to change and usually I face the wall because I feel that is less reveling than the front for obvious reasons. So I'm contemplating what to do and decide to have my back to the wall (I don't want people seeing my ass). So I grab my costume and head back stage and realize there is no place to do it so. I noticed others were changing so I just did it I took off my top and then took off my jeans. Nobody said anything at this point which is great so I finish changing and continue on my way. Most embarrassing thing I've ever done right there. You doing it again this year? If so what show?

Oh another thing I should have asked is what do you do when you need to switch shirts? I'm willing to trade my tips on changing for theater if you have any.

If you think about it, underwear isn't any worse the if they saw you in a bikini. They'd probably see more actually, so I wouldn't get all uptight about it. just pretend its your bikini and it's no big deal.

It may seem the same but there not honestly. Two different things. If you think there are when was the last time you have seen a girl in her bra and panties?

so i am also a theatre kid and when i do shows at my camp we have to get changed in front of the other gender. It doesn't really bother me. Even when I am doing a professional show and we have dressing rooms, i dont mind if someones in there when im changing, or if when i get my mic on somebody see my underwear. However that doesnt mean that you have to be ok with it. If it really makes you uncomfortable, go into a bathroom, or make sure u wear plain undies the next time. Im happy to talk about this more if u want, so reply if u want to

Last time was my ex gf.

[Abyssal Echo]

I get seen naked in the locker room every day so, to me being seen in my under ware is no big deal.

[Digimaster]

Exactly.. You two were dating. You don't see random females walkinng around in their underwear. Unless you have other experiences

Actually I have seen other girls just wearing their underwear lots. My friends sister and her friends and when I'm at his cabin they walk around like that in the morning mostly. It didn't seem like a big issue for them especially when I seen them in their bikini's which were way less, and skinny dipping.

I would not change in front of other people, let alone strangers. The only person I would change in front of, and be comfortable with, is my mom. Because she's family and a woman.
