My first panty wearing experience was when I was very young maybe 6 or 7, I was down stairs with my mother she was doing laundry I had two older sisters, when my mom pulled the clothes out of the dryer I noticed something shiney, I was curious so I kept looking to see what it was without my mom noticing that I was staring at the laundry she was folding, after she was done she left all the clean clothes in the basket and left the room, I quickly rummaged through the basket to find the shiny material I had spotted earlier, when I came across a pair of light pink satin panties they must have been my sisters they much to small for my mom, I gently rubbed the soft material between my fingers, I dont know why but I felt I must try these on, so I crumpled them up shoved them in my pocket and ran up to my room closed the door dropped my pants and took my tighty whitys off and slipped on these wonderfully soft underwear, the feeling was overwhelming I just remember how soft they were and I don't remember exactly but I think that's the first time I remember getting a hard on,of course I didn't know what to do with a hard on yet, I kept them on all day, and even slept in them that night, I kept them hidden in my sock drawer until they became soiled, then I just put them back in hamper and picked out a new pair to wear, I did this for many years until both my sisters moved out, by then I was hooked so before the last sister moved out I stole several pairs to tide me over, I would wash them in the sink and stuff them in a sock to dry, I did this until I was about 18 and finally got up the nerve to start buying my panties, but that's another story for another day.
For the 15 or so years I've been wearing Panties steady, earliest purchases were online, and only the last 1 or 2 years have been actually buying them in a store, where someone has to scan my purchase, though I've bought them at self-checkout for longer than that.
