I tell you what, catch your tallywacker in a zipper just once and it will break you of this. Happened to me about 4 years old, and I vividly remember my dad having to yank the zipper back down. NEVER AGAIN.

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.

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.

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 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.

Like others here have said, I find the question to be a little weird.

You just make sure you clean yourself properly after you go (and if you don't have a washlet bidet at home, get one, the basic ones can be had for less than $40 on Amazon).

And if you need to be out and about and won't be able to water wipe due to having to use public toilets, and aren't 100% about your ability to be fully clean using TP, then just keep a few pairs of underwear and wear them at those times.

This isn't the Mystery of the Ages or anything. 🤷‍♂️

I consider underwear bourgeois decadence, same as socks

I go commando in the summer unless I’m working. I just wear basketball shorts and have no problems.

How are this many people getting their dick stuck in zippers? Is average lemmy age 9?

I just started being more conscious of my body and how I clean it. Showered more frequently and used more deodorant. Now, going commando is the norm for me and I barely even think about underwear anymore.

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
