Questions about underwear

[wildone]

Hey all

So this is a pressing matter that needs to be resolved as soon as possible  

If you wear underwear  do they have the opening for you to pull your, ahem, penis out and to pee without pulling the undies down.

I think they are on boxers, briefs and boxer briefs. Yes I know there is a lot more , but I'm sure you can fit into one of those. 

Now the questions are what you wear, if it has the opening, and do you use it? 

 

[Daddydavek]

• 2. Do they have a slot and do you use it?

  • No, so I don't use it
  • Yes, and I do use it
  • I replied yes...but in truth, not all the time.

This poll made me cackle! The slot on most men's underwear truly confuses me. I've never used this feature, even to test it for efficiency. Seems like such an arduous process for a simple task. 

I think a few more options for question one are in order, particularly for those brave commandos in our community. Go ahead and stick all of the options on there! See who's courageous!

I could be wrong, but somehow I suspect the second question is the one that's more pressing for Steve here.

 

I go back and forth between briefs and boxer-briefs - briefs slightly more often, I usually just switch if I'm feeling kind of "constricted", so to speak, on a given day. For instance, yesterday I wore boxer-briefs, today I'm wearing briefs. Form-fitting/supportive, and not too tight.

I gave up regular boxers years ago - too loose for me, which I don't really find comfortable, especially when they'd bunch up. (And if it matters, having that "slot" does not help; I entered "yes, I don't use" for #2 because while most of my pairs don't have it, some still do.)

None of the above   My underwear doesn't have any slots

And for those of us who are left-handed, maybe another response

“Many briefs have the slot on the right side so it’s too much trouble for a lefty”

Another slight this world has dealt you lefties.

Also, I used to wear my husband's boxers as shorts around the house. I would roll the elastic so they would stay up. I wore my own underwear underneathe. Does that count? I put a stop to his boxer preferences ages ago, btw.

I prefer the Jockey Pouch or Fruit of the Loom H-Fly because of the H-Fly on both -- the slot is in the middle, horizontal, and big enough to be useful.  Most of the diagonal-fly types have too narrow a slot for simple use.  Other brands have an H-Fly, if you search the Internet, but at high prices.  I can get the Jockey and Fruit-of-the-Loom brands less than 5 miles from my home.

H-Fly

I had to research this newfangled technology. My literal response:

If we're talkin' brands, I've been a loyal Pair of Thieves customer for years. There's a few different fabrics in several essential styles, but their SuperFit fabric is phenomenal. I could work a very physical eight-hour shift and drive home feeling like a flower. It's like air-conditioned undies! They are a wee bit pricey, but I can't see myself defecting to a different brand.

There are a few brands out there that now offer the opening horizontally so all you need do is reach down and in and bring it out.

Munsingwear had the H-fly first as far as I know but yes, others do now.

Yes.  That is what is called the horizontal fly or an H-Fly.  I bought my first H-Fly at a Jockey Outlet store in about 1990.  It was much more comfortable and efficient than any underwear a fly I had worn up to that time.

I'm not sure who had the H-Fly first.  I found out about the existence of such about 1990 at a Jockey store.

[George Richard]

Munsingwear patented the concept in 1943 and I was buying theirs in the 70s and 80s until they started having financial problems. I was happy to see Jockey picked up the design.

I can't believe there's a topic on underwear that I haven't participated in.

I've tried them all and accumulated quite a selection, but I have no favourites. Horses for courses, as they say, and I choose my underwear according to my activities or the weather conditions (do long johns count?). I hope so because they can be a real lifesaver if you're outdoors in cold climates where multiple layers are essential. This allows me to wear two pairs of underwear at the same time and mix and match. I look forward to winter for this reason alone, but I won't go into that here.

As for slots (is that the official term?), I find them way too revealing, especially in boxers, and a little drafty. Like driving with the window open-anything can fall out. I've only ever used them in a bar or nightclub for convenience, and before I get any complaints, I mean, in the restroom, in front of a urinal.

Commando? No, thank you, and for one simple reason. When a metal zipper meets flesh, there's only ever one winner, and it's every man's worst nightmare. Underwear usually prevents that scenario. I've gone all cold just thinking about it.

In the late spring, summer and early fall, if I don't go commando my nuts sweat and ultimately itch something fierce. Ya gotta have air circulating down there. Heck it's easy to be careful about the zipper, Plus tucking your tee shirt into your shorts ( always wear shorts) protects against any chafing. Plus much easier to get to your dick for any extracurricular activities. Sorry Dodger commando is the way to go for sure, but to each his own.

As much as the Gif you posted just sells the entire idea for me..  I must say no. NO, Ladies and Gentlemen wear underwears.  It just isn't done, it just isn't done.

Obviously you have not had the balls itching problem. Plus having your privates being loose and swinging free with cool breezes pleasuring your most special parts. When you want to show encouragement to another you can have your pecker peek out to see what's up. For sure commando is the only way to fly.

I know what my mother would say about swinging free and loose with your privates.

Actually in Asia male toddlers go with out any covering out in public. It was explained as much healthier without a wet diaper chafing their skin. 

[Former Member]

Of course nudist camps will tell you it is against our nature to be covered. Going commando is no where close to that extreme but commando is healthier. 

[ReaderPaul]

My bedroom is much colder in winter than the rest of my home,  I often go commando under my sleep pants.  The freedom is great, but so is the warmth from the sleep pants without being confining.

[Ron]

I am learning a lot about you people.  Please, don't be shy!

I've heard that "Nothing comes between me and my Calvins" via Brooke Shields. So, going commando is not just for the dudes.

Well that explains it - No disrespect for your girl parts but for a gay guy there are lots of pluses to commando. I now see your point of view and appreciate that you can see mine.

While women are often squeamish about the thought of people not wearing underpants, guys often find it a lot more comfortable.  I vary the style (or existence) of underwear according to circumstances.  Even in a lightweight summer wool suit, a T-shirt and underpants are essential to keeping cool—not to mention saving on the drycleaning bills.  And in the winter where I live, extra layers are often a good idea.  In summer, I'd go nude all the time, if I could get away with it.

When I do wear underpants (I normally have no need for a T-shirt, since I'm usually wearing one as outerwear), I vary these days between boxers and boxer briefs.  I generally use the fly, because it's more efficient than having to dig inside my trousers to find the top of the underpants.  Some guys pull down their trousers and underpants at the urinal, but that's too complicated for me.

I also find that if one wishes the benefits of freeballing without staining one's trousers, a pair of very loose boxers is a tolerable compromise.  I used to wear tight bikini-style briefs, until I contracted a massive, systemic case of poison ivy; for years after that, I had to wear loose boxers, and eventually I came to prefer them, for the most part.

I wore the Munsingwear Kangaroo Pouch boxer briefs when they first came out, then the Jockey Horizontal fly boxer briefs. 

A few years ago, I saw a short film on the internet about Tommy John "adjustment free" underwear.  It is the kind of thing you find here in the "Make Us Laugh" thread.  It showed a series of everyday, ordinary men trying to adjust themselves in public without sticking their hands down their pants.  The gyrations were hilarious.  Then they switch to a fitness model doing yoga/dance moves wearing Tommy John boxer briefs and guarantee that they'd never bunch, sag, ride up or form a wedgie.  Well, I just had to go to the website to check them out.  I was shocked at how expensive they are and decided to stick with the Jockeys (you can get 4 Jockey boxer briefs for what 1 costs at Tommy John), even though they tended to sag sometimes. 

Perhaps the "freeballers" in this discussion have never had this experience, but a few days later I suffered excruciating pain after accidentally sitting on my "danglie bits" (which tend to get danglier as you age 😉) as I climbed up into the driver's seat of my truck. At that point, I decided I could do with a little more support than I was getting from the Jockey's, bit the bullet and tried out a pair of Tommy Johns.  I was hooked and decided they were worth every penny.  Now every year on the Black Friday sales I stock up on their second skin boxer briefs.  And yes they have a horizontal fly, but it's too close to the waistband to be useful.

Here's a link to the closest to the original ad I can find: https://youtu.be/o7vUqAvJ-S0  It's good for a laugh! 

I'm not trying to sell a product...just passing along what I think is an amusing anecdote.
