One must say: Zombies never have to pee, so not an issue. ---

> [@Siam\_Sam](#): > > I honestly can’t remember the last time I had underwear with a fly. Seems like all the ones I buy over here are of the push-down-the-band variety. Being female, you’d think I wouldn’t know but most men’s / boy’s underwear in the world is sold without a fly. It is cheaper to make and just as easy to use I’m told. It threw an American friend for a loop the first time she went shopping for her 5 y.o. boy in the UK. My ex was able to reassure her it was normal. None of his undies had a fly either. ---

That was worth the 10-year wait. ---

> [@bikedude](#): > > I just returned some with no fly. Must be designed by women. Save on manufacturing costs ? > **At least mention it on the package so I don’t waste time figuring which is which.** The solution for this, with all kinds of products and not just underwear, is to find a product you like and then _stick with that exact same brand and style for the rest of your life_. I have purchased and worn the same brand and style of underwear for over 50 years. I have purchased and worn the same brand and style of shoes for about 40 years. It’s distressful, however, when a brand or style is discontinued and I have to find something new. I’ve had to find different styles of pants several time over the years. Moral of the story: When you find a product you like, _buy a lifetime supply_ because they will stop making it. Fortunately, this has not happened yet with the brand and style of underwear I wear.
