What is the point

[bountyboy]

I just wonder. What is the point of underwear. I know some peeps that go commando completely and never have a prob. I would like answers please on everything top to bottom on male and female

Depending on the outerwear, sometimes the underwear makes it look better.

[ummmm]

Your boobs will go saggy if you don't wear a decent bra.

Well, apart from the obvious hygiene aspects of wearing underpants or boxers and I'd personally rather have "skiddies" in my grogs than the inside of my jeans (sorry to be so graphic!). There's also the safety aspect, I used to go commando but found there was a tendency to snag my "bits" in the zipper of my jeans! This is less likely to happen when you're wearing underpants because everything is safely tucked away before you pull your zipper up. Again, apologies for being a little graphic but I'm sure a lot of blokes will be able to relate to what I wrote.

they help soak up any leakage.

Ankou, honestly!!!!

Decent nick-nacks help to lift the under-carriage too.

[ummmm]

Slight padding in your bra stops your nipples showing through your t-shirt.

I'm guessing that without undies one or two ladies would struggle to keep their tena pad in place, especially when wearing a skirt........

As already mentined - it's hygiene reasons.
I can go most of the week in one pair of jeans (I wear a different pair of jeans for work, so I suppose really it's 2 pairs of jeans) ...... I change my grundies every day ...... I couldn't imagine what the insides of my jeans would smell like if I wore them the same length of time with no underwear !!!!
I'd love to hear from people who do go commando - what about the hygiene ??? I don't go care how clean people are, things sweat during the day. I'm quite a clean person (I shower EVERY day, sometimes twice, changing my underwear at least once a day) and I wouldn't dream of wearing my grundies for more than one day !!!

It's not T-shirt weather here yet. Be loud Be Proud, Get yer nips out :)

[sunny-dave]

I have a friend (yes honestly I do, even after last nights shoutathon) who refers to the current weather as "a bit nipply" ... I honestly don't think she realises what she's saying ;=)

[ummmm]

Giz - you can only assume that those go commando chain their clothes more often.

Gust of wind floaty skirt shredded wheat on view yuk... worse still shredded wheat with a ripcord

Hygiene...

[NOX]

I sometimes go commando but I have two showers a day every day and I don't wear either underwear or jeans more than once before they're washed, so no hygeine problem at all tbh. I wouldn't be happy wearing jeans that I'd worn the day before if I had underpants on, so it's a bit of a moot point for me, can't see the difference.

[sunny-dave]

Thanks rowan - I was going to have some cereal for a belated brekker - but I've gone right off the idea ... ;)

[RATTER15]

I went commando for many years, it actually just feels right and more free to dangle and swing etc. these days due to pressure from a "certain female" I now wear grundies, I must say I much preferred without.

"when you're wearing underpants because everything is safely tucked away"

really ? i need straps and buckles, and still need to tuck the end in my socks.

[joggerjayne]

"shredded wheat with a ripcord" ???? !!!!

[boxtops]

I'd worry about rubbing on sensitive parts, from seams and the like...
