Random lingerie thought
(You know that title’s going to get on lots of search results.)
So who decides where the tag goes, and why is it so often on the left?

I predict a future of very cheap and rugged RFID chips embedded in clothing.
When the wrong cycle is selected for clothes, the washer or dryer will alert the operator and specify what should be the correct setting or which clothes should be removed from the unit.
Also, high-bleed items like red socks would be flagged as danger items.

You mean the “lingerie” word, I assume. Interesting, I shall try it out immediately.
For the last two weeeks I am keeping the tag “sex” in Technorati, but it is only today that the first fish took the bait. The fish is of Swiss origins. It will take him/her a heck of a loooong time to find sex on our blog!

No, you need to add the word “sexy” in order to get the largest number of searches. “Sexy lingerie” works. Add the word that stands for the representation of such items in visual form (these things get searched too), and you’ve got all the pervs you can possibly want.

The tag is to be placed for Maximum Skin Irritation Value.
Assuming that you’re referring to lingerie tags. Technorati tags are a pain in the ass no matter where they are.

Lingerie tags are placed so as to provide maximum irritation to skin tags…
TMI…

The worst is when the tags are sewn in with a kind of plastic-y thread. And it’s not always the cheap items that are the offenders - a very pretty £30 bra I got for Christmas was the most irritating in terms of plastic-y thread on the tags. I eventually mutilated the seam with a quick-unpick and sewed it back together to get rid of the stuff.
Do men even have tags in their undies?

Yes, but they are either sewn up against the garment or they are not nearly as annoying as what you deal with.

“Do men even have tags in their undies?”
Sure, but it is the ones in the undershirts that normally would drive one crazy. Made of some expecially prickly fabric of, maybe, out of some cacti species, who knows.

Do real men wear undies?
Where I come from ‘undies’ has a feminine connotation.

Yes, we have tags in our delicate foundation garments; and both the nether and upper tags can be irritating as all get out.
But as Joel Gray said, “You don’t believe me? Don’t take my word for it, come find out for yourself!”

And as an afterthought, some brands of men’s undershirts are printing the tag info directly onto the fabric so there’s no add-on to cause pain. Is this an idea whose time has come?
