...OP is serious or yanking our chains.

Commando is the only way to go under jeans, for me - can't ever find panties that stay in place and it is a real pain in the ass, literally, when they ride up.

When commando isn't appropriate, the longer bike short style works best. They stay down where they are supposed to be.

As for thongs - no way in hell. The only thongs you will find me wearing are the ones that go between your toes.

I will use this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to ask something I've always wondered: How many guys actually use the trap door/short-cut on their underpants when they have to pee? Do guys actually use them or just pull their pants down? I bet a lot of women want to know the answer--or not.

It is very convenient. No one would drop their drawers in public. Now there is a little button there on some boxers. That never gets used.

His pants weren't down at his knees, but at least 3/4s of his ass was showing.

Personally I've never used the opening, I just unzip, pull the top of the boxers down and go from there.

Ok- I have been on DU since 06 and this is by far the oddest thread I have ever seen here.

Bravo to the OP, very weird thread but it brought about a much needed laugh. Thank you and Keep on Truckin with your choice of wardrobe!


Personally I have never used that opening. I wish that they would not put it on briefs. It is a complete waste of mfg time and material.

Can’t stand boxers...maybe if my pants/shorts were baggier (not sure if that is a word but I’m gonna use it) so that the extra material on boxers would not bunch up around my leg I would.

by wearing them inside out. No seam to run across the butt.

For some reason, all seams started bothering me in more recent years. Even the so called seamless underwear have at least one seam along the rear. It finally hit me one day just to turn them inside out and now all the smooth stuff is next to my skin.

And my undies always have a tag in the back inside. So wearing them inside-out keeps me from feeling both the tag and the seams.

I do this as well. I hate the seam and it has pretty much been the same size (width wise) all my life. One would think that material and sowing advancements would made it possible to make it half its width.

Can’t stand splashing smelly piss into a bowl from two feet up.

When at a urinal I just pull down the front of my boxer briefs and flip Nature’s Bounty over the top. But in the main I avoid urinals (and public restrooms in general) like the plague. I’d rather hold it all day.

If you don’t mind, what kind of panties do you like to wear? My friends and I have grumbled for years about finding comfortable underwear. And I would think what is uncomfortable for us, would be especially uncomfortable for your boys. In my middle age I have finally settled on boy shorts.

Oh, and I agree with others, you really need to tell your wife. I can imagine all kinds of disastrous scenarios if you don’t.
