@AaronLeeJohnson Enough is a week beyond running out of clean shirts and jeans - unless you want to wear dirty underwear along with dirty shirts and jeans.
@AaronLeeJohnson@Kidsandliz just had this conversation with my teenage child: when is the appropriate time to wash jeans? How many wears? Of course, the caveat is what’s the activity, sweating July mowing or an indoor, non-physical event in chilly December? Possibly this deserves its own thread!
@AaronLeeJohnson@JWhirly Your kid likely believes when the jeans stand up on their own even if they stink prior to then. Although there are some who believe you never wash jeans… which I think would be gross.
@AaronLeeJohnson@Kidsandliz honestly, the converse is true! Said kid thinks that even if he looks at them, wears them for 5 minutes, or even thinks of wearing them they need to be washed! Contrary to many teens, he is an over-washer!
@AaronLeeJohnson@JWhirly Actually mine wanted to wash stuff with just one to two things in the washer. Nope nope nope. I had to hide the detergent and unplug the washer. She’d tell me it was broken. I told her it was broken until there was a full load as I had rigged it (she never figured out it was unplugged as no electronic stuff on it).
When she was in 4th grade she’d clean up the room by tossing all the clean clothes she hadn’t put away in the dirty. I told her do it one more time and she will be doing her own laundry. Of course we know what happened next. So I stopped doing her laundry. Eventually she ran out of clothes she liked.
She started to wear the dirty ones. I took all the dirty ones and locked them in the shed. She complained no clothes to wear (despite some in her closet). I told her not my problem. Go to school naked, in her PJ’s, or in clothes she doesn’t like until she is willing to learn how to run the washer.
She eventually caved. An all pink load taught her sorting was worth it, not just because mom told her to. By high school it was safe for her to round out her load of 1-3 items with my clothes.
@AaronLeeJohnson@JWhirly@Kidsandliz Lee would wear a shirt three or four times before washing it, with the result that most of her light-colored T-shirt neck openings had permanent sweat stains. Most of those ended up as rags when she was gone; I wasn’t going to waste Goodwill’s time sorting them.
@AaronLeeJohnson Don’t forget that beyond practicality, there’s also having the correct colors for the correct mood or situation. There’s just something about wearing a pair of bright yellow underwear when you have to go to the world’s most boring training class.
@hchavers A few years back, I bought a pack of underwear at a club warehouse store, brought them home, tried on a pair, and it fit well. No pressure points, blah blah blah.
First time I went to urinate found me panicking at what I was sure was a defective pair I’d gotten. Maybe I lead a sheltered life, but I didn’t even know such fly-less underwear existed. I fail to see the benefit, but maybe that’s exactly why I’m not in the target market.
As today’s writeup touched on, they all got shoved into the back of my underwear drawer until the next spring cleaning.
@hchavers I haven’t owned underwear with a fly for something like ten years, and I will never go back.
It’s easy and comfortable for me to pull the waistline down to pee. If I’m wearing athletic/casual shorts, both waistbands get pulled down. If I’m wearing shorts/pants with a belt and zipper, both get undone, then the waistband gets pulled down. I’ve never understood why some guys prefer threading the needle through their underwear and zipper to pee.
But the major benefit is playing sports and doing other physical activities (hiking, biking, running, etc.). I wore fly underwear until my mid 20s, and I played a lot of sports. There were so many times when my dick would find its way partially through the flap mid-game and cause some level of discomfort until I adjusted it. I assume this is why almost all “real” athletic underwear (compression, quick dry, minimal to no cotton) is no-fly.
Even in everyday life back then, by the end of the day (after I’d peed several times), the flap would be stretched/positioned in a way that made it more likely my dick would find its way through.
@andymand@hchavers I’m not ashamed to admit a mild case of Urinary incontinence that started around age 40… i have to wear pads ( “Mens Guards” the packaging says) or I WILL wet my pants ( under and outer) over the course of the day. ( some times i have to change it part way through the work day.)
the pads adhere to the inside of the undies, and make the fly-way pretty much useless… over the past few years, gotten pretty used to fully undoing the front of my pants and pulling the undies down to do my business…
all that to say, in for one set please!
@andymand@hchavers dudes… it is SO much easier to just pull down the waistband and pull out the salami, then it is to reach awkwardly through a tight flap which then squeezes the salami while you’re trying to pee.
I’ve never seen the benefit to flies on underwear.
@andymand@haydesigner@hchavers
I understand the need for tighty whiteys to keep the bits and bobs from drooping over time, but I like the looseness of drawers/boxers. However they’re so loose, the fly hole do need to be closed with a button; which leads me to ask: why don’t jeans have button flys in lieu of the metallic teeth that threatens to eat everything it runs up against?
These are my daily driver underwear. Not super supportive, but pretty nice. They do hug, so if that’s not your thing neither are these.
In my experience, they run just a touch large. I generally wear XL, but buy large in these. I feel like I need a size right in the middle. All of the choices today are way too large for me, and I’m 5’-11" 215 lbs.
@NadmanET For definitions of "sporty"that include bringing two coolers of beer and a grill to a sports activity in which only a very few actually participate…
@annecat@rustyh3@troy “100% Cotton” generally refers to the body of material in the garment. The jeans I am wearing are 100% cotton, but they have steel rivets, for example. The denim is 100% cotton. The elastic of a waistband isn’t typically counted.
“5% spandex” means that the body of the boxers in question is woven with spandex.
@bombastique Yup that’s the way I learned but as I got to be older I figured out that you just pull the front of the top elastic down and have freedom to access all the parts needed. Then lift it up and let it snap back (might be painful if elastic is too tight especially if it hits anything vulnerable). The silly “fly” never made sense to me.

Could y’all cut a hole in the front for me before shipping…k thanks
Unless I’m misinterpreting the measurements, these are for really fat guys, right?
@pmcgrane Not fat, just big-boned.
/giphy big boner
Just how many underpants does one need before they have enough?
This is an existential question.

@AaronLeeJohnson if we’re ruining the waistband by constantly stretching them by pulling them halfway down instead of using a fly, then often
I need a medium with an XL fly. I guess it’s back to Daily Jocks…
@fuzzmanmatt
there ya go…
wish granted!

@chienfou
Real men’s underwear has a fly.
Why?
I mean, seriously, why?

just messing with you man.

@mediocrebot Dear Strongbad, how do you walk with boxing gloves as your pants
Just like the bedsheets think cotton!
Available sizes are too big for me? That has to be a first.
No fly doesn’t fly with me. Even if they had medium size.
If it’s no fly, then is it really Men’s briefs?
They could be great for anyone who can fill the contoured pouch, right. Maybe you never trim the bush?
I find this train of thought… disturbing.
These are my daily driver underwear. Not super supportive, but pretty nice. They do hug, so if that’s not your thing neither are these.

‘New Balance, so they’re a little sporty.’
checks available sizes
Yes, sporty, just like your 3/4 ton pickup truck…
@NadmanET For definitions of "sporty"that include bringing two coolers of beer and a grill to a sports activity in which only a very few actually participate…
Even Meh does not sell JUST PLAIN COTTON boxers…
@rustyh3 We do! Small & Medium left over here
@rustyh3 @troy Still 5% spandex.
@Limewater @rustyh3 @troy Doesn’t the waistband necessitate that??? Assuming you like your drawers to stay up…
@annecat @rustyh3 @troy “100% Cotton” generally refers to the body of material in the garment. The jeans I am wearing are 100% cotton, but they have steel rivets, for example. The denim is 100% cotton. The elastic of a waistband isn’t typically counted.

@Limewater @rustyh3 @troy Ah, makes sense.
Nice colors but wrong size and not made of bamboo. Only bamboo may touch my nether regions after being spoiled by it.
That said… My real comment is regarding the side deal deal. You normally put a related item for sale there.
Today you put jerky. That gave me a good laugh. Thank you.
Meh button has a pouch…
I don’t need any undies today, but bravo on the write-up!

@mediocrebot
No python hole? These are panties.
@Trinityscrew I mean, I did try out the pair that came in my IRK, so that particular pair became panties. They were meh.
what is with you freaks, just pull your pants down to your ankles and piss ass out.
@bombastique Yup that’s the way I learned but as I got to be older I figured out that you just pull the front of the top elastic down and have freedom to access all the parts needed.

Say no to plastic underwear.
@baloo584 No.
@baloo584 @yakkoTDI Fuck No!
