Dirty underpants or 'commando'?

So here’s the scenario: you’ve just worked out and showered, and realize you forgot to pack clean underwear*. Do you wear the underwear your wore while working out (60 minutes, moderate intensity), or spend the afternoon freeballing in you cotton dockers?

*Yesterday you forgot your deoderant.

Wash underwear in shower. Spin dry in bathing-suit centrifuge thingy. Finish drying under hair/hand dryers.

regular forgetter of socks

or go commando.

I’d go commando, or if I had a pad with me, just wear that over the undies.

Underwear?

un-der-wear: n. A stretchy cotton or cotton-blend pouch that straps your junk down to keep it from flopping around.

It depends on a number of things, such as if I’ll be able to putter around at home in clean dockers while I get to laundry. Or if I can go nude until my hand-washed undies dry out. But all things being equal, I’ll wear dirty undies.

Actually, this very thing happened to me last week. I washed a pair in the sink, then tried to dry them with a hair dryer. Even in the desert, that took a looooong time. But I was looking at a good 16 hours of not being able to change.

Personally, I’d go commando. But then, I’m a female. Maybe it makes a difference. . .

I had this problem at the gym last week: discovered I’d forgotten replacement underwear as I went to shower. I went home in the funky ones. Blecch.

Replaced 'em after I got home though real quick.

Commando. Putting on dirty underpants (to me) seems to negate the shower in some way. At least my clean girlie bits will be touching clean fabric.

Commando, definitely.

You look in your bag for the spare pair of emergency jocks that you always keep in your gym bag.

Or go commando - my sweaty post-workout pants would make my pants wet in an inappropriate area.

Si

Depends on a lot of factors, but generally speaking I’d go commando.

For the record, if I decided to wear the underwear for some reason, I’d turn them inside out.

Commando. I only recently started wearing underwear again anyway.

Commando. But then, I wouldn’t have the clean underwear dilemma as I wouldn’t normally pack any anyway.

Nothing like a good wind flow (through the pants/shorts) on the girlybits :smiley:

being a girl, I dont have anything flopping around… I just have to worry about the pants that ride up… camel-toes are not fun.

Commando - definately

'do.

Commando.

Although if I were in a skirt/dress I might turn the funky ones inside out - I have a really unfortunate story of a young woman in a dress, a spilled liquid, slippery shoes and a lack of ginch in a grocery store that would prevent me from going without in a dress I think.

One of the top leaders in my company went on a business trip and forgot to pack underwear. So he washed his in the hotel room sink every night and hung them up to dry. This story got told as an example of how resourceful people can be when they need to be. Then somebody asked, “Why didn’t he just buy some?” and everybody else said, “Oh, yeah, why didn’t he?” and the whole thing became an embarrassment.

For the record, I’d decide which to do on the basis of how clean the underwear are and what I have to be dong. As near as I can judge the OP conditions, I’d wear the underwear again.

Since I regularly don’t shower after workouts (I don’t like public showers/don’t bother looking for them/don’t even know in some cases if the gym has it), I still keep the same underwear after I change workout clothes.

In the event I’m out of clean underwears after I take a shower I either:

  1. Wash them in the sink and dry them with whatever I have (blowdryer, on top of the AC fan, twisting them around towel, etc.).

  2. Wear them again, against my desires.

Not interested in going commando, ever.
