Male. No, I just take the one on top of the stack in the drawer and put it on. If my wife doesn’t tell me “for heaven’s sake, there’s a gaping hole in those - throw them out and put on another pair” - then it’s a good day. Regards, Shodan ---

Not only do I not have good day undies, there are days when I don’t have good undies. ---

Not something your average straight white guy cops to. Similar to being a guitarist and getting asked if you name your guitars. You may have one that you don’t call by make, model or color, but you don’t admit to it. It’s a thing. Hilarious to see on guitar boards. ---

There should be an “I go commando” option. That’s where I would have placed my vote. ---

I have a certain style of bra that I like and I buy several (in either black or nude) when they’re no special. Ditto for knickers. So, no ‘good day’ underwear for me. ---

I wear underwear that are comfortable but sexy. I don’t have special pairs for special occasions. And sometimes, depending on what kind of pants I’m wearing, I don’t wear any. ---

I just check to make sure yellow side is in the front, brown side in the back. 😃 But I do have “good day” socks. No holes. Especially if I know I’ll be going to someone’s house where I’ll likely be taking my shoes off. ---

> [@SUZ\_MAC](#): > > There should be an “I go commando” option. That’s where I would have placed my vote. I used to, but then I started wearing scrubs as my uniform. That material is thinner than it looks. And clingier. And I have visions of a seam splitting when I’m bending over to do nurse stuff. So now I wear underwear. I suppose I could still go commando on the weekends, but now I’m in the underwear habit. ---

> [@CookingWithGas](#): > > I am really curious–how do you plan a good day in the near future? On a day off, I schedule a massage, or plan a visit to the park to draw outside, or have a cup of coffee at a new cafe. Most likely, that’s gonna be a good day (I’d also recommend not using your AK. That helps too). ---

> [@Small\_Hen](#): > > I mentioned this casually in front of my family the other day (the topic was already on underwear, so it wasn’t _so_ weird), and I got a lot of blank stares. If you’d mentioned it to me in person, I would have given you a blank stare too. I have two types of underwear: underwear I like, and underwear that is okay to wear during a period. ---

I sorta do. None that’s actually special, just newer ones that are in better condition. And it’s not really because of thinking it’s going to be a good day–just when I’m dressing up. ---

Since all my underwear looks exactly the same, there would be little point. I suppose if I expected a special day I would try to pick one of the newer pairs. ---

I wouldn’t call them “special day underwear” but the closest I get is a pair of bright red briefs that came in the 5 pack I got after my vasectomy. I wear them when I want to give my wife a surprise along with a good belly laugh. ---

I definitely do. On a normal Monday I wear the older ones. Best ones for weekend. ---

I have a few pairs of pricey-ish semi-designer underwear that are both very flattering and very comfortable. I only wear them if it’s a day when I know that either somebody is going to see me in my underwear or I have a lot of physical activity to do. Most days are ordinary Fruit of the Loom boxer briefs. Particularly lazy weekend days I may go full boxer.
