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.
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.
Yeah, you’re not even supposed to leave skidmarks on your underwear. Are people not using the toilet paper?
Boy, you’re gonna have fun when you get old enough to learn that an anus doesn’t hermetically seal after a bowel movement.
I don’t think this means you should have shit in/on your pants, though. I’m in my 40s and have am not leaving skidmarks, even with a condition that can make toilet visits more messy/unpleasent. Wait until you’re fully finished. Use a bidet if possible. Get more fibre.
You should probably see a doctor about that, that’s not normal.
Fuck you.
I can’t WAIT for you to be here.
Just a matter of time.
Even for a judge cunt like yourself.
This is indeed a you problem and not a men problem.
So fucking salty you don’t know how to wipe your own ass looooooooooooooool
If only there were medical professions who could help you asses if this is something unique to you and help you with your hygiene.
“Uuuuhhhrrrrrrrr this is normal and happens to everyone hurrrrr”
projection at its finest my dude
Lol
Well someone learned something about themselves today and is not happy at all.
Way to out yourself, skiddo.
What?
I save mad stacks on laundry detergent.
Just use dishsoap if it gets that bad
LMAO this guy has an itchy asshole
The man with an itchy asshole wakes up with a stinky finger.
When it comes for you, I wish I comes for you in earnest.
I on the other hand wish you a bidet and more fiber.
I have a bidet.
I think the fiber intake and track record of “SHARON!” level shits is what loosened my balloon knot.
I have now doubled down on my gypsy curse on you.
Omg, do keegles bro. Also helps with ED
Do some people really consider skidmarks a normal thing
One of our greatest weaknesses as a species in my view
This - people probably shouldn’t be going commando unless they have a bidet at home 🌊
Username does NOT check out.
Even literal poo disapproves.
Which I do, and do!
Even then, emphaticlally no, unless your bidet has a non-invasive or even invasive pipe-cleaning function.
I don’t think OP is necessarily talking about skid marks. By nature of a dark, warm, and humid environment with more sweat glands than other areas, things like your crotch and armpits will start to smell quicker than something like your elbow, even if you exercise proper hygiene. It’s just the nature of how our bodies function.
I change to a new pair of underwear daily, but I might use the same pair of pants multiple days in a row. If you do this while going commando, your pants might start to smell and you’d probably need to change them daily like you do for underwear.
And this is a bit TMI, but for women specifically, around time of ovulation each month (mid cycle) can mean an annoying discharge of mucus. This is totally normal and healthy and doesn’t mean there’s any degree of infection. It happens when an egg is released. It’s easy to deal with if you just need to change your underwear. But now if you have to deal with it getting in your pants it’s a bit more of an ordeal.
but I might use the same pair of pants multiple days in a row
This is something I try and avoid doing in general
With something like jeans if I’m not doing something overly active or anything it seems like a waste to wash them daily. Take something like a jacket, for example, which is worn multiple times before washing. I don’t do it if I’m sweating a lot in my clothes, but if I’m not doing anything super active then they are definitely good for a few days.
I don’t do it with shirts because now your pits are involved and clothing that touches those should be laundered each time to avoid smells imo.
Well, jeans are an exception. I will wear them multiple times between washes, but generally not multiple days in a row. And if it’s crotch hugging (like my jeans normally are), then I’m more inclined to wear undies. But loose pants etc, that don’t crotch hug and aren’t likely to be worn several days running, I’m less inclined to wear undies.
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.
How’d you get the beans above the frank?
Well it wasn’t my nutsack that got caught. But honestly at that point in time, I seriously doubt it matters. It was just pain, followed by more pain.
FRANK AND BEEAAAAAAANS!
He’s a kangaroo. Duh!
/Jk
This checks out
My toes curled reading this. Not in a good way.
Really sorry. Not gonna lie, it gave me a little ptsd, and this happened sooo long ago.
Oh no worries, you have my sympathy, your suffering was worse than mine!
Now you need a good toe-curling [perverted]
Edit: I’m glad we could see it my way lol
Agreed
This was the biggest reason I never tried going commando.
You know… there is a Ben Stiller flick that addresses this universal nutsack vs zipper fear a decent amount of dudes have.
Hit up the Blockbuster and ask for Mary.
Years of therapy in a neat little rom-com cuboid.
edit: also, button fly.
Happened to one of my classmates in primary school. Was funny for us then, but it must’ve been hell for that dude.
I had that happen too as a child. I’m grateful I don’t remember how my parents got it unstuck.
But lord! Did you have to be so graphic?
Unrelated but nice Uname. Praise Tom Servo.
There’s trousers without zippers, you know.
Happened to me a few times when I was a kid. I just learned to be careful and it hasn’t been a problem since.
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.
Do not store your dirty underwear hermetically sealed! Stick it in a mesh or paper bag, something it can release the pent up humidity through; or you’ll get some really nasty laundry.
For Pokemon trainers, I’m no expert, but wouldn’t they just stick their clean clothes in one poke’ball & dirty laundry in another?
Is that how Grimer are born, sealed dirty underwear?
Shitstain I choose you
Is this a copypasta?
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 don’t get boxers either. It’s just going commando with an extra step. The sole thing you stand to gain (support) is nonexistent with boxers. I don’t know why people bother.
Boxers provide a layer between you and the pants. With commando the pants would need washing sooner.
You should wash your pants dude
Everyday?

Jeans def don’t need to be washed every day
That’s a good way to ruin your pants, esp. jeans. You wash them when they’re dirty.
This. Jeans are also far more comfortable on the 2nd+ wear.
I wind up getting claustrophobic in briefs and have to adjust a lot more than when I’m in boxers. And I bother with wearing boxers because they are softer than the fabric of the pants I wear.
If you’re claustrophobic with that much space, doesn’t that mean sex and other activities involving small orifices are gonna be problematic for you?
amazes me how careless people can be. like tuck your shit down, zip your pants up. not difficult. just pay attention to what you’re doing. if you can’t handle that, button fly.
I’m not talking about getting them jammed in the zipper, I’m talking about getting them pinched between my leg and my torso.
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.
I guess just regularly showering and changing clothes work pretty well.
You madman!
I would recommend not using any sort of deodorant in your groin that’s just looking for health issues
Oh, I don’t put deodorant in my groin. Mostly armpits.
Armpits are the groin of the abdomen
Can you actually like swipe anti-perspeirant along your buttcrack like a credit card and have no sweating for the day?
Edit: you have my ass’ ear 🧐
Edit: its own seperate antiperspirant unit for hygiene
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’m just waiting for someone to ask how to tie their laces.
“People who wear shoes with laces, which technique do you use to tie them?”
There you go, your wait is over :)
As someone who has taught an impatient child (what’s the opposite of an oxymoron?) how to tie a shoe, I can tell you there are many different ways to tie a shoe, and apparently there is a way that’s easier for autistic kids (I thought that might be easier) but I was having trouble with it as an adult. So…
ELI5 how do neurotypical adults autistie their shoes?
As an impatient adult my solution is to wear shoes without laces. I have a pair of boots that use laces, and a pair of sneakers with laces that I never wear. Everything else is slip on or zip up. I’d wear velcro, too, I don’t even care if it looks ridiculous (only I’ve never had that option as an adult)
You just made me think about my current shoe collection. I have 2 pairs of flip flops, 1 pair of slip on house shoes, 4 pairs of slip on walking/tennis shoe looking shoes (dunno what to call them) and 2 actual tennis shoes with laces and 2 dress shoes with laces.
When I run, I wear the laces. Anywhere else I’m laceless. Haven’t worn business attire since covid began.
I do loop swoop and pull but I’m not 100% neurotypical. I did learn as an adult that swooping over instead of under makes your laces much less likely to come undone and since then haven’t ever double knotted my laces.
Step 1 Lay hands palm down. Grabs each lace in each hand. Make two thumbs up. ( laces should oriented shoe-thumb side, aglet-pinky side.) Extend index fingers.
Step 2a With right hand loop the lace around your thumb then index finger. With left hand loop around the opposite way, finger then thumb.
Step 3 Place left hand index finger under right hand lace(between right hand index and thumb.)
Step 4 (simultaneous) Use right hand to grab left hand lace (around left hand index finger). Use left hand to grab right hand lace ( around right hand thumb)
Step 5a pull laces all the way through each other.
You now have the over under part.
Repeat steps 1-5 with these changes
Step 2b right hand - finger then thumb Left hand - thumb then finger.
Step 5b Do not pull laces all the way through.
You now have a finished knot.
If you ignore 2b And do 2a both times you will still have a knot but it is likely to come untied.
If you ignore 5b you will have a knot but no “bows”
Hope that helps!
Edit: formatting.
Edit 2: A Ted talk on the process
Edit 3 Oops that ted talk only tasks about the normal way, this one does the fancy way that I was referring to.
Awesome, thanks! That was fun trying to get right lol
Doesnt count, not OP.
Edit, but if you do, page me, upvotes.
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 will say that personally, I do have to take extra special precautions due to non-painful external hemorrhoids. It really does make things extra annoying to clean.
I won’t describe further, but in my case, underwear are a must :/
deleted by creator
Hemorrhoids isn’t something that goes away after a few days. When its not painful, surgery is far worse than living with it.
I consider underwear bourgeois decadence, same as socks

You can have my socks

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
I literally had to muddle on the topic of genitals made for jousting for a few moments. Well played, well said.
Maybe, just maybe he was into bottoming
I mean he was, but he also wore them for comfort

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
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
I’ve used those before. The problem i have is the cotton. I need the material that under armour uses. Cotton makes me sweat and it bunches up easily. It also loses its shake easily over time.
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.
So when you say use a bidet well you don’t mean use it as a water fountain, right?
I feel that is a personal choice everyone should make for themselves, but you are correct, it’s for butts only here.
But… but… all my furniture is for ass grinding!!!
Why so judgy Bethany??
