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.

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.

Also to actually elaborate on OPs question because i got distracted replying to replies.

Wear the same boxers for a few days. How do they smell? Wear the same jeans for a few days. Compare.

As a dude, I can tell you, for me they do not. But that going commando reduces my lifespan for clothes without washing.

Also, bidet user, ftr Edit - and aaaalso, i was married, and lmty, there is definitely a gender gap here.

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.

I exclusively wear Exo Foccio Give n Go boxer briefs

Expensive as hell, but soo worth it - a pair lasts me years before the elastic gives out, and they're so comfortable

[-] BambiDiego@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I've been pretty happy with MeUndies but they can also get expensive, and since it's a subscription I can actually rotate out or throw away pairs that are starting to go. 10/10 comfort, 7/10 overall experience

Panty liners is honestly a brilliant idea! I used to go sans underpants but uh, tight jeans is not the jam for that. I think having multiple pairs of pants you rotate through+panty liners would be the best bet.

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.

I used to go commando. However, after one incident with a bit of errant flesh caught in my zipper, I reconsidered the error of my ways.

[-] TigrisMorte@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

What do you have on your crotch that you think is so dangerous to be exposed to should it get on cloth?

[-] Chozo@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

I'm just more concerned about direct contact with the zipper.

[-] TigrisMorte@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Into all things a touch of care is required.

Better or no?
