Ayeshas’ thread caused me to think about this; I wear briefs, the old boring white kind, not speedos. I find myself rarely having to adjust ‘my package’, and the thought of boxers leave me cold.
Additionally, why do mens’ briefs manufacturers put the double flapped opening in front; aside from extra support nobody I know uses it, they just pull down the waist band and let’er fly!
I made the switch to boxers in high school and haven’t looked back. I usually go with the various plaids, but my favorite pair has Scooby Doo on them. They were given to me as a Christmas present from my sister-in-law. Make of that what you will.
Now, you too can become an Evil Ninja Assassin in the Self-Righteous Clique. Ask me how.
Mostly I wear those boring old “old-lady” panties with lace around the top. I’m just not built for bikinis (too curvy) and ain’t no way in hell I’m wearing a string up my butt… other times I wear none at all.

“Not everybody does it, but everybody should.” I Spy Ty.
For men, definitely boxers or whitey tighties, NO SPEEDOS or bikinis.
It kind of gives me the creeps when they don’t wear any at all, I mean, their boys just hangin in there and the crease of their jeans getting that butt smell - ick.
For me, I love lacy panties in different colors and patterns. Even when I am wearing my grubby jeans and a t-shirt, wearing sexy panties make me feel so. . . . girly
Well, of course I wear a plain muslin camisole under my corset, and a lace corset cover over it. Then, silk stockings attached to the bottom of the corset, and three or four ruched petticoats, depending on if I am wearing a “walking” or “riding” skirt that day . . .
You’re kidding, right?!? Whitey tighties?!? I can’t think of anything more unattractive. I’m a boxer girl, myself. Speedos are nice, but you have to have the right kind of body to get away with 'em, which current SO has. That’s all he wears. It’s sorta funny - they look so much like my underwear (at least the white ones) that sometimes it’s hard to tell whose is whose.
After reading the thread about the women’s underwear in the hall (I’m too lazy to go look up the URL), I’ve made an effort to have matching panties and bras. So far, that equates to Victoria’s Secret cotton undies, cuz they were on sale and seem to fit. The bikinis are my favorite, although I do have some of the high cut ones and some thongs. Never could get used to the butt floss, though.
I’m a bikini gal myself. Victoria’s Secret please. It’s the only credit card I have and their undies are comfy. I have a couple thongs but…woops! maybe that should be “butt”
Boxers look a lot more appealing, IMO, but I can’t imagine wearing something that loose under my own clothes. So, I respect the comfort-seeking brief wearer.
As for myself, it has to be comfortable, but must look sexy.
(Diane - it’s not like you think. Honest!! It must depend on the guy and the way their jeans fit, cause the SO is just fine. And it makes our car rides - uh - can’t find a way to describe it without coming off looking like a slut. Sorry. “Smiley face winking so as not to p*ss off Chief Scott by using the actual icon”)
I’m with Princess, I can’t stand bikini underwear. It’s only thongs for me…but you have to pick them carefully (God, I know I’m going to regret this sentence)–all thongs are not created equal, comfortwise.
My feeling is, it all ends up the same place anyway, so why not have just a little fabric instead of a whole bunch?
I prefer to keep the dangly bits wrangled, but hate trying to pick out the ‘bunch’.
i’m not sure how to classify these (we were discussing this the other night), cycling short styles. They are long enough to go mid-lower thigh, but they keep the boys nestled…best of both worlds I suppose…oh yeah, and no ‘bunches’.
(according to my SO) thongs are apparently very comfortable (but I like the look of the itty bitty bikini style…) The lacy ones just look ridiculous to me (probably because they look uncomfortable, al la Sealemon88)
