‘I don’t understand how that’s possible, like just no,’ Steph continued.

‘If it’s a look thing, like you don’t want the lining of your undies sticking out?’ she wondered. 

‘Is it because you haven’t found the right seamless thing or do you actually find it more comfortable not wearing underwear? That’s what I’m not sure about,’ a confused Steph added.
