The DU Lounge
Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsConfession. I just started wearing women's panties.
I'm a straight male. But these are so much more comfortable than men's underwear. Why didn't I make the conversion a long time ago? Anyone else with me here?

(10,465 posts)On the style. I tend to like the "boy shorts" type of underwear because it prevents chub rub. Either way, wear what you want, dude.

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.

(22,769 posts)I don't understand why they don't make men's underwear as comfortable as women's.
Laffy Kat
(16,388 posts)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.

(45,542 posts)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.

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

(19,847 posts)I wear Jockey Pouch style briefs and sometimes when you're done and retracting through the pouch opening you can cause a drip-- sometimes a significant one.
I can diagram that if anyone wants...

(16,388 posts)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.
Cant stand boxers...maybe if my pants/shorts were baggier (not sure if that is a word but Im gonna use it) so that the extra material on boxers would not bunch up around my leg I would.

(16,334 posts)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.

(14,628 posts)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.

(22,769 posts)Thanks for the tip!
bif
(22,769 posts)Thanks!
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.

(9,142 posts)No need to confess. I wear whatever works best. Can't wear boxers, and anything loose pulls in the wrong places and can cause pain. So I agree with the OP.
The material/cotton they use in women's underwear is so much more comfortable it's amazing.
Ilsa
(61,700 posts)Hikers wear synthetic because it dries faster and is less irritating to the skin. Cotton is hot on the crotch.

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

(4,462 posts)If you dont 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 dont.

I like the men's. I wear boxers for baggy and briefs for tighter pants. I never use the flap hole for briefs, but sometimes boxers are useable... it's really not easy. I just lower them.
