I’ve always been curious, because I’m not fond of underwear, but I don’t know how people make it work. Wouldn’t you have to wash the trousers every single day? How else would you keep them fresh? Do you use special deodorant for the area or panty liners on the trousers?

Tell your story.

    If you’re leaving skidmarks on things every day, the answer to that is better cleaning, not underwear to catch the marks.

    I do sometimes bleach my undies (yay vaginas), but that’s never been an issue when I’m going commando.

      Yeah, you’re not even supposed to leave skidmarks on your underwear. Are people not using the toilet paper?

          I don’t think this means you should have shit in/on your pants, though. I’m in my 40s and have am not leaving skidmarks, even with a condition that can make toilet visits more messy/unpleasent. Wait until you’re fully finished. Use a bidet if possible. Get more fibre.

    How the hell did Ash have that many fresh pairs of underwear, and how did he keep the fresh separated from the not fresh?

    I mean, you could tell me that pokecenters have laundromats, and he hit up a pokecenter at least once every 7 days, but are you telling me he had a zip lock bag for the dirties and he could afford replacing that bag regularly?

    Wait… think I’m answering my own questions here.

    Yup, I’ve just become grosser as I’ve gotten older…

    Edit: so I 100 percent replied to someone referencing the underwear wisdom from ep. 1 of pokemon.

    Now that notification isn’t my notifications and I see this as a top level comment.

    Just wanted to give that context.

      Do not store your dirty underwear hermetically sealed! Stick it in a mesh or paper bag, something it can release the pent up humidity through; or you’ll get some really nasty laundry.

      For Pokemon trainers, I’m no expert, but wouldn’t they just stick their clean clothes in one poke’ball & dirty laundry in another?

    I have no clue how people would do it, since I don’t even understand how other men can wear boxers without accidentally giving their nuts a good squeeze sometimes. Tight briefs keep those out of harm’s way.

      I don’t get boxers either. It’s just going commando with an extra step. The sole thing you stand to gain (support) is nonexistent with boxers. I don’t know why people bother.

        Boxers provide a layer between you and the pants. With commando the pants would need washing sooner.

        I wind up getting claustrophobic in briefs and have to adjust a lot more than when I’m in boxers. And I bother with wearing boxers because they are softer than the fabric of the pants I wear.

        I will say that personally, I do have to take extra special precautions due to non-painful external hemorrhoids. It really does make things extra annoying to clean.

        I won’t describe further, but in my case, underwear are a must :/

    I wear underwear when I go out. But if I’m at home, I’m mostly commando. I guess just regularly showering and changing clothes work pretty well. I also use a bidet, and an anti-perspiration deodorant (Oars + Alps).

    In general, if you’re reasonably clean, it shouldn’t be an issue. I mean, you don’t fuck wearing underwear, and you don’t want to smell then. Just maintain that.

    To all the comments saying their junk has been caught in their zipper, I know a guy that swears by jock straps. Says they don’t bunch up or make you sweat a bunch since it’s basically just a strip of fabric over/around Wingus and the Ping Pong boys with some elastic bands to keep it there. I tried one once and threw it away after a day of wearing it so they’re not for everyone, but could be something to look into.

    If your genitals aren’t made for jousting… thongs are the closest I can think of I guess? I don’t have any experience with having that configuration

    Duuuuude, or dudette. Let me tell you a story.

    One about people with certain waist ratios, and heavy manual labour, and what all that motion can do to underwear.

    I recently moved houses, and for the first time ever (after decades of experience), chose to forgo undies and go commando in sweatpants for this recent ordeal.

    Boy howdy. Let me tell you all the ways it was awesome. Sweat induced induction to asscrack, is but one of them. But likely the most important, the Knock-on ride-up effect. Also gone.

    In youth, I was constantly accused of being anorexic (I wasn’t. Had no body dysmorphia. Just had a terrible relationship with food and hated eating in general. Thanks Mom and Grandma!)

    In those days, I shat like a goat. Could have totally gone commando. Especially since I wore fresh clothes every day.

    Nowadays I eat a lot and have gotten quite overweight (thanks weed!).

    I have a bidet, and even with that level of cleaning, things stay clean until maybe noon, and then 4 out of 5 days I get that itch and need to do maintainence wipes every few hours. I also tend to wear the same pair of jeans/undies for 4 to 7 days before pulling out a fresh pair.

    So, all in all, I would say everyone has a different biological context about the state of their bootyhole, and just about everyone has stinky cloth up against aforementioned bootyhole.

      You shouldn’t be intensely itchy down there like that. It isn’t normal. Honestly you should probably go to a doctor because you might have some sort of infection. And please change your underwear. It will probably help with your itching.

    I think people that swear by going “commando” just haven’t tried good underwear. I will not wear anything but under armour underwear. If anybody else has any other suggestions please let me know. These are the best I can find. They are expensive. That’s the only downside.

    It would only be a some of the time thing for me, putting some on for professional settings or such where it’s probably more “needed.”

    At home, install a bidet and use it well.

    Also, be mindful and don’t needlessly grind your ass on the furniture, if that’s like, you know, one of your things.
