Difference in men and women underware

[Saga of Gemini]

I wonder why women and men underware are so different....maybe because mens underware has a pragmatic function and women is for staring at it?

Anyway havent anyone ever wondered this? or is it that Im thinking about it too much hehehe

Head over to the Babe Thread and take a look at women's underwar instead.

A man's underwear have to support his scrotum a woman's underwear doesn't. Both are to cover parts that are left to the imagination.

I'm of the opinion that you're not thinking enough... Why don't you read a nice book to keep your mind occupied?

Oh, someone made a big mistake by starting this topic! Men's underwear manufacturers really piss me off!!

Women get bras of varying sizes. Nobody tries to tell women that one size fits all!

But, poor men have to shop around and try on different brands to find one that fits properly - what kind of moron made them that way?

I wear sports underwear, intentionally two sizes too big, because I can't get my wobblies into the ones sold for my waist size. This is not some funny joke, it's damned awful and I'm gonna rant about it... if I wear underwear that fits around the waist, the underwear does not close around my wobblies (i.e. parts remain exposed around the edges - sorry if you have good imagination)... and the whole lot falls out down one side it I try to run (or similar) ... If I wore some of the right size, and I try running for a train, I'm gonna miss my connection and look pretty damned stupid shuffling off towards the men's toilets

That's a bloody stupid scenario, caused by idiot underwear designers!!

And I tried wearing other types which don't have any proper support, but unless combined with a jock strap, they are many times worse and can even become twisted and painful ... and if you run up stairs which is pretty common activity (or just jump) the poor wobblies take a right bashing

It's not hard to imagine. Nature intended man to have his bits between his legs, but when those bits fall out down one side of his underwear, they get only a fraction of the space God intended to them to have -- and it hurts!

I'm not super-sized or anything, pretty big for my size but no record holder (judging from claims on the other side of the Internet), so I don't believe for one minute that other men don't share these problems... and I probably can't post anything more specific without getting moderated. Urgh.

My conclusion is: Damned mens underwear is designed by women who don't have to wear it!!

Right now, I'm wearing...*checks* ... err, I ain't wearing. But it's hot weather and I stayed in all day, soo... anyway. Damn you to hell, men's underwear designers!

P.S. I even considered asking my tailor if... you know... I felt too stupid to ask that, and they sold one size fits all anyway

Hmmm... Good question. Put a man in a woman's thong. That would probably explain it.

 

[King Alexander]

I say they're no different at all!!! So, speak to your partner to exchange underwears!!!(and if you haven't one, make sure to find one, so you can try it!)

btw: why, oh why, there is such curiosity about the differences in underwears between men and women? Isn't it OBVIOUS? Men woudn't feel comfortable wearing women's underwear; see, there's no space at all! It would be a torture!

@Saga of Gemini: I think, you were watching something like, beach volleyball?

 

[LLXerxes]

Blech...
weird.

I don't know that much about womens underewear, hehehe... ;mischief:

But mens have supporte for the, er, um, yeah as Stormbind explained.
Plus, there's briefs and boxers.
Boxers are kinda like shorts, and looser, and have a hole for the, er, um, yeah and go down to your thighs
Briefs have the hole too, but are tighter and stop at the forming of the legs things

Don't ask where I've learned about this

Stormbind: The image of you running will no doubt keep we awake for many nights now

 

[steviejay]

I always feel tight around the crotch

My mate bought me a thong for Christmas, as a laugh. I'm not even considering wearing it. Thongs look better on women anyway

and I agree with TLC, lets all go to the Babe Thread and further educate outselves in the underwear on women

one thing though.... if a man's underwear is meant to support the scrotum whats the deal with boxers? They don't really offer support

As far as I can tell, they are specifically intended for combining with a jockstrap.

On their own, boxers serve only to protect your rump from the cold lining of some trowsers (or whatever you call them) .. I really don't like that smooth lining they sometimes add, and I don't know what it is made of, but it's horribly cold when you first put them on; it gives my legs goose pimples and makes me pull a strange face

Dudes, no kidding... this is a major issue for me. I am so 'jealous' (for lack of a better word), of the soft, silky smooth materials women's underwear is made out of.

Lycra, spandex, nylon, etc.... all intricately synthetically combined into forming the most comfortable thing the skin can imagine. And WHAT, but WHAT are men stuck with... rough, uncomfortable, medieval CRAP!

I just don't get it. I, for one... do not wear underwear. Seriously. That's how I protest the underwear industry's bias towards pampering WOMEN, but not MEN.



And no, I am really not kidding about any of this. (Though I may be stressing my points rather sternly)

 

[stratego]

@Stormbind, are you subtly trying to brag?
If not, maybe you can try to gain some weight around the waist, or lose some weight around the legs.

@steviejay, I don't know the point of boxers either, but they're the closest I can get to walking around the house naked.

 

[steviejay]

Boxers rock, apart from when you loose the button at the front and you have to be quite careful when walking about the house if people are in

No. *hurt look*. I'm being sincere, and complaining about something that really annoys me every time I shop for underwear!

I'm slim and always have been, but I have been warned that middle age strikes without warning... so I'm a little weary of that

To respond to your post, I'm actually trying the inverse of what you suggest. Specifically, I'm running every day to reduce my waste, and improve my legs.. which haven't had a real workout for too long; I used to cycle across countries but now I spend too much time with the computer, as demonstrated through my post count

 

[Aphex_Twin]

Stormbind, your graphic post about your dangly things just made me feel bad there are only 10000 km of separation between us

 

[Yoda Power]

PT2- You can get silk underwear for men too, atleast here you can. Its quite common actually.

My boxers didn't come with the button so I am always popping out.

Try a kinky gay underwear outlet. You will probably succeed there!

Good luck!

Yes, most certainly that would look just great to Navy Whites, or dirty Marine combat fatigues......




sorry, PT2, couldn't resist Btw, in Europe it is no problem getting OK mens underwear that is in no way rough or scratchy.
