It is threads like this one that keep me coming back to this board.

Drainy,

Nope, no chaffing at all. I would assume if you wore a scratchy fabric then you might have a problem or two.

I know of several women that haven’t worn underwear for years! My step-mom is one. She’s a lot like me and wears mostly pants.

As long as your pants aren’t so skin tight you are blocking circulation it’s fine. Besides, no one should wear pants so tight you have a camel toe appearance “down there” that’s just gross! \< ROFLMAO \>

Oh and it is a freeing feeling. Try it sometime. I urge everyone to go commando this weekend!  
Mully,

Glad I could be of assistance \< giggle \>.

ahh techchick,  
I see you are doing well and living a lot more…err, _Free_…\<Grin\>

You brought me out of lurking on behalf of those of us that actually LIKE Panty Lines…  
Please forgive me for my obnoxious male viewpoint, but panty lines are a lot like Tan lines…they can tell you everything about a woman’s sense of style…French Cut Bikini, thong, or “GrannyPanties”…which style you choose says a lot about you. Going entirely without panties…what does that say? Hmmmm, perhaps it says: “I am living my life the way I want to, dammit!”

Stranger OUT

What I want to know is, why don’t more women wear men’s underwear? Look how shoddily panties are made! Frankly, I think a pair of briefs would look much better on the average woman than on the average man.

I understand completely, having once ditched my underwear into the trash can at Burger King, and happily finished my route without them. That was a case of one wedgie too many, but I have also been hit with the no clean laundry thing. That’s how I discovered …

Men’s underwear. Stay with me for a minute here … I’m not talking about the usual white briefs. These were some Spalding bikini type that some over sexed teenaged girlfriend had bought my son years ago. He never even opened the package. I cracked it opened and threw on a pair, and I went all day wedge free. Luckily, it was a three pack, but the day will soon come when I will need to either get used to going without, or buy more men’s underwear. I refuse to be wedged again.

I’m sure that’s more than anyone wanted to know, but I don’t post much, so it doesn’t happen often.

This (in my experience) is a great, great thing. In fact, I’ve just now decided that if I ever place a personal ad, it’s going to read:

SWM [descriptives of Giraffe], seeks young woman wearing pants that sit low on her hips, with visible hip crests, no underpants. Tight vinyl preferred. Serial killers fine.

Why beat around the bush?

This was a cheap one, ladies. No subtlety at all–just “WE DON’T WEAR PANTIES!”

But being a cheap shot doesn’t mean it isn’t a goal.

I actually really really like my underwear. But when I’m home for the day, or morning, or whatever, and wearing flannels or gym shorts, I almost always go without. Bras can swing both ways . . . sometimes they are wonderful, others they are the devil himself.

I actually like underwear. It looks cute. I just bought some new thongs. I mean sure, it feels good to go without, and I do that sometimes. But I love lingerie way too much to give it up altogether.

Good thread, Techie. Typical you. 🙂

Bra or bra-less is another topic altogether, though. 😉  
Do I wear panties or not? If so, what style?

Wouldn’t you just like to know. 😛 😃

tech, you need to stop posting this stuff. I almost had a heart attack, especially after reading about the “5 minutes after I get in the house” thing. Still, I can think of worse ways to go…

I think we should tell SPOOFe to modify his picture of you in the SDMB comic…but that’s just an opinion. 😉

Ah Jester, you know you enjoy these sorts of topics! Heck it’s kind of funny if you think about it.

I get something on my brain and the SD is my outlet for that.

Let’s see ladies, what other topics could we come up with that will give these men a rise? \< giggle \>

\< no underwear – ah it’s freeing \>

Ah come on purplebear tell us, do you have undies on today?

Techchick68, your post and the halloween season remind me of an old joke (and please, please, please, this is not directed at you).

Why don’t witches wear underwear? To get a better grip on the broom.

I don’t know about warlocks and underwear.
