Lacy underthings
Are nice, on the right person, but when you’re a 6’2″ guy, and the underdrawers have become lacey due to intimate contact with serious jungle rot and heavy abrasion, they tend to just be…inconvenient. I mean, you start leaking stuff out of the holey bits, as said stuff gets older and more dangly, and it’s just not nice, people!
Looking in the mirror and getting the startling impression that your crotchal region is being attacked by a huge hairy leech is not a way anyone ought to wake up.
I used to think that as long as any two of the three Fruit of the Loom guys were hanging on to a scrap of waistband, they were still a valid pair of underwear; now, I want the support for my boys.
What? Like you never had that problem.

Not a problem for me, but I am a boxer man… I don’t have your… I don’t even know how to call them… Oversized dangly bits?
Ted – I think the word you’re looking for is “Balzac-zilla”.
Og – Every day is a battle. Before you go out that door, you need to grab your spear and your shield – and, for Heaven’s sake, gird your loins, man!
The older I get, the more I face this problem. I never had to deal with this when I was younger–I wore some pairs from my sophomore year of high school all the way through college. Now, though, a pair of briefs begins to erode after about a year–and I expect the MTBF will continue to shrink.
Of course, I have to wonder how much of that is due to “build quality”–there is little incentive for underwear manufacturers to make long-lasting underwear, particularly when they’re selling ’em at $8 for a 6-pack.
So maybe it’s not just me.
Boxer Briefs, dude.
As I grow older, and the twins hang lower & lower, I find it expedient to reverse direction on the skivvies, and wear them back-to-front. I never did use the fly, preferring to go out over the top for drainage purposes, and the wider cut of the fabric in back makes it harder for a wayward dangler to slip out of confinement when stepping in or out of the Ford 4×4.
Gadzooks, the things I’ll confess to on the internet…
I have a rule. I wear my briefs until they get a hole in them. Then they become a rag, if they are not unsightly.
Boxers – only if I’m out of town…and its not hot out. Things tend to stick together on a hot day.
Boxer briefs – Pretty much, same as boxers. But I don’t like ’em. Especially BVDs. One time I wore some on a warm day, and I was sweating profusely down there and everywhere. My boys were being smothered. BVDs, only if the temps are below zero.
Just go commando!
I enjoy it. Very freeing.
Sometimes you tell us too much, Og.
that would be the entire purpose of the blog.
wow… and I’m right behind you…
