> [@Kallessa](#): > > so if thereā€™s a brawny straight guy who swampy would love, heā€™s mine. Find him, people, find him quick! Thereā€™s just got to be several things wrong with that line but, itā€™s one of the dang funniest things Iā€™ve read in a long, long tme. Plus, itā€™s a great potential sig line for **kalley** or me. šŸ˜ƒ Oh, and as to the question of when to throw away underwear, I offer the following guidelines. If itā€™s got holes or if the stretchy part is waaay stretchy and wonā€™t stay up, then itā€™s time for the underwear to go. Personally, I donā€™t wash to be thrown away underwear first. What I do is put it in one of those plastic bags like what ya get from the grocery store. Then I tie the bag up and put it in the outside trash can. I usually inspect my older pairs of underwear as I take them off to determine degree of stretchiness/rattiness, then throw them out at that time. I recently threw several pair (pairs?) away which necessitated the buying of new ones. I got me some purty patterned FOTLs from Wally\*World. Theyā€™re boxers. I like boxers. ---

I solve the underwear problem by just not wearing any in the first place. ---

I enjoy boxers as well, but most of mine are plain colored FOTLs. I am, however, wearing this awesome pair that bought last night that are microfiber. It (theyā€™re?) is all shiny and slick, and I find that neat. Yay for my boxers. ( **swampy** , you know, since we have the same underwear preference, youā€™d better keep yours on the floor, so that we can tell each other apart.) ---

I prefer to hang (HEE!) around in my robe when Iā€™m home. What? I get cold. **donkeybear** I never leave my drawers on the floor. This is a practice that harkens back to when I had a dog. He had an underwear fetish. Heā€™d grab 'em and take off running. His favorite hiding place was under my bed. I would routinely check under my bed before doing laundry lest there be a stray pair or two of underwear under there. I could leave any other articles of clothing laying about and he wouldnā€™t touch 'em. ---

laundry equipment and cheesecake ads. I used to run around a lot less clothed than I do now, but that was just when it was me and the GF living together. Now, with her daughters around (and never ever leaving the house for more than a few hours at a time), Iā€™m fully clothed until bedtime. Then itā€™s nuttinā€™! As fer undies, I switched to boxers about 4 years ago. Finally got used to them, but about half of the ones I own have the front door opening on a random basis. Iā€™m thinking that if I iron them after washing, itā€™ll help keep, er, things in their proper place. ---

A couple of weeks ago a discount name-brand clothing store near work had nice womenā€™s underwear on sale for $1.99 a pair. Itā€™s normally $7.00 each, or three for $15. I was reaching the Worn-Out Undies Crisis Point, so I bought nine pairs and threw most of my old stuff out. There was a lot of Festive Theme panties with Christmas trees and stuff, but after I dug around I found lots of respectable solid-colour in my size. I have nothing against prints, or Christmas trees, but I prefer not to wear either on my nethers. Nethers is a good word that should be used more often. Mr. Lissar and I usually wander around in our underwear for hours if thereā€™s no compelling reason to get dressed. Our blinds are permanently down for that reason. :stupid question: Whatā€™s FOTL? ---

I just bought some great new bikini briefs. They are cotton and spandex and are ā€œno lineā€ which means they donā€™t have a waist or leg bands. They are so durn comfy I want to go back and buy some more and just ditch all the rest of mine. Mr. Anachi wears jockeys for every day but boxers when heā€™s doing lawn work. He says it keeps the man bits from chaffing. No nekkit running around here abouts with The Princess[sup]TM[/sup] in residence. ---

> [@scout1222](#): > > What, none of you boys do the boxer-briefs thing? Me. I hate full boxers because the woven fabric is justā€¦not right. I hate briefs because the legbands are always too tight and uncomfortable. Boxer briefs are the best of both worlds. However, it should be noted that Iā€™m the only adult man in the world who can make boxer briefs unsexy just by wearing them. ---

I remember they made us wear boxers in the Navy and the D@mn things would constantly crawl right up my nethers. (hee.) So Iā€™m usually a briefs kinda guy. Iā€™ve got some boxers that are better than the USN type re: crawlinā€™, but theyā€™re in the back of the drawer where they get ignored. I got some of those boxer-briefs too. but I feel like Iā€™m wearing a girdle, but I wear 'em when it gets good and cold. As for clothing around the house, weā€™re philosophically nudists, but with chillins and grandchillins liable to pop in at any time, it ainā€™t practical, so attire is usually sweats in the winter, and bathing suits or something similar in the summer, and in bed, itā€™s nuttin honey. šŸ˜ƒ [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ruminations-of-the-laundry-room-guest-mmp-number/329887.md?page=10) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ruminations-of-the-laundry-room-guest-mmp-number/329887.md?page=12)
