The pants are down, the skirt is up...

Spankers and spankees, what sort of underthings do you like to see on someone/have on for the context of a spanking, and why? Is it a purely aesthetic appeal to you, or does it have some sort of functionality?

Personally, as a spanker, I love thongs. They offer a lovely view, and their nice for pulling down, or up, if I'm feeling particularly mean. That said, as a spankee, the more trouble my unfortunate spanker has getting whatever it is off of my bottom, the better... So, may something that's under tights? >:3

Even goofy topics are worth discussion, sometimes. -w-

I completely agree about thongs, to the extent that I'm pretty sure it's a sub-fetish of mine. I like thongs because they provide a lovely view as you said, they tend to round the bottom nicely, and they cover the ugly-ass pussy and anus. Seriously, I wonder sometimes if my strong aversion to pussies means I'm gay, but then I look at a penis and decide that those are even uglier.

That being said, any kind of panties that leave a significant chunk of the bottom bare are wonderful, like lacy panties that only cover the top half or so of the bottom.

Tights are also nice, because they provide this perfect balance of hiding the goods, and leaving little to the imagination. Few things beat a gorgeous, round ass clad in spandex.

Tight skirts are also nice, because again they strongly hint at what's underneath, but still give you that gradual escalation that (for me at least) characterize the best spankings. Get a girl in a short, tight skirt, then have her bend over so that a few inches of her lower cheeks are sticking out...hmm. Beautiful.

Once she's bent over, start smacking her bottom while scolding her for wearing such scanty clothing. Then peel that skirt up and pick up the pace, spanking her bare cheeks (clad only in a small thong of course), scolding her even more fiercely for wearing such tiny panties beneath a tiny skirt. Then if she's bratting at you tug that thong down and really let her have it!

Thongs are always appreciated in a spanking, the bottom is still bare, there's something naughty and instantly scold-able about a undergarment that does little to nothing for modesty, and its a fun prop to pull down AND up.

I actually prefer bikini briefs though, something you can coax off one buttock or another before removing, and a under garment that presents the posterior to you in a lovely, tightly-packed fashion. ^////^

Hmmmmm, in my opinion, I honestly feel opposite. I prefer the spankee having clearly defined panties, mainly because it serves the purpose of clearly defining three separate stages to the spanking. With a thong or no underwear, it feels a bit rushed, and honestly not as satisfying, unless of coarse your main goal was a quick bare spanking, then all power to you.

I may be weird in this, but the spanking is much more satisfying, when the spankee can feel a clear difference between stage 2 and 3, and not just slightly more humiliation.

I think I really like the idea of spanking a girl or guy in bikini briefs. Hey! Guys can wear panties too! Anyway, to personalize my own reply here, I'll say that with the bikini briefs, I'd actually give the spankee a wedgie instead of pulling them down. It's best of both worlds so why not?! I used to like thongs myself but now a days... I'd rather fool around with all kinds of crazy designs of panties and if I want the thong effect, just pull them up into their butt crack! It works right?

I like Sephyhara's reply. I prefer very brief panties although I like to progress and not be in a hurry. Put the girl over my knee, spank her over her skirt or jeans and than slowly expose her panties for the majority of the spanking and end it on the bare with the panties at half-mast.

I like when a spankee is wearing underwear that provides fuller coverage, because it makes the baring of the bottom... I dunno, a bigger deal I guess. It's hard to describe and gets deep into the finer points of my spanko preferences.

I like spankings to be bare-bottomed from the outset, for two reasons:

1. I love the transformation of the color of the bottom's skin from fresh and utterly unspanked to a soundly spanked pink or red.

2. I love the moment when the underwear comes down, when the spankee is anticipating the first swats, their bottom bare and as of yet untouched. I love just the image of someone lying across a lap, their underwear just pulled down, their pants a bit lower, or their skirt lifted up, but otherwise fully clothed, the spanking about to begin. It's why I don't care for fully nude spankings, and why if the spankee is wearing a thong I still prefer it to be taken down from the beginning. I love the ritual aspects of spanking and the butt being bared is a big part of that for me, which is why I love when it's emphasized. And I guess when the spankee is wearing fuller underwear, it emphasizes their being taken down even more.

And that was a much more thorough examination of my specific spanko preferences than I thought I'd be getting into.

I also like underwear with big coverage, especially when cute.^^
Makes the exposing even more fun.

Depends on the situation, but often, I preffer simple briefs/panties for the spankees.

Usually I'm all in for boys to get bare bottom while I have a soft spot for girls getting it on the panties, exposed by skirt lifting.

Kind of a fan of full-coverage panties, bikini briefs, or even boyshorts, insofar as spankee-attire is concerned, for some reason with the preference of stripes, though I've no idea why that is. Outside of that, I don't much care.
