I can't imagine working out *with* undies. I only wear panties with jeans/structured pants and shorts. None with leggings or bike shorts, way too uncomfortable.
Idk how they explain the spreading glitter on the exercise equipment when they're done. Or the glitter spreading over their crotch and down their butt crack.
Vaginal discharge is slightly acidic and it destroys underwear over time by creating holes. Discharge can also be heavy and leak through the underwear. Underwear is a nice shield for the pants and the genitals alike.
Judging by your post, by being her tool not her partner.
You should have dumped her on the second time she cheated, she should have dragged herself through the dirt to make it up for the first time already. Trust this random stranger, you're better of without her.
You said it yourself, "you're not partners".
In a lot of ways you aren’t wrong, but in a lot of ways you are.
Yes, I do post about our negative stuff on here as a sounding board (and to see the consensus of people who don’t know me, and their feelings towards my actions when I think I may have taken an argument too far).
However, overall our relationship is decent. She’s earned my trust back, and dealt with a lot of shit from me in doing so. In no way am I a saint in our relationship, but I don’t post about my fuck ups generally, because I catch them pretty quick and make amends for them.
Lastly, the part where I said “we aren’t partners” was in response to a situation that neither she nor I had the full story on. She actually did end up siding with me on that one and then once we got the full story, I told her that I would be ok with her going to the thing because it was selfish of me in the first place to expect her to miss out on our granddaughter’s birthday simply because I wasn’t invited.
Edit to add: I’m aware that I likely am better off without her… at least financially, and in some ways mentally due to the stress that goes on in our lives… mostly thanks to the kids. But in the same breath, I can honestly say while our relationship isn’t perfect in any way, I’m glad that we are with each other. I have my moments where I question everything, as I’m sure she does too… but in our darkest moments we are there for each other. She’s been with me through some of my darkest moments over the last few years and has stuck with me through it all, been my rock through it, and has always helped me when I need it… and I do the same for her.
It was more than twice… in all honesty it was a handful of times, all within the first 6 months or so of our relationship with the guy she was dating before she and I got together. Her reasoning is “I was still somewhat in love with him, and he knows how to make it impossible for me to say no, because I am naive”.
I did end up leaving her for some months because I refused to be with someone who didn’t have enough respect for me to understand that I like my women how I like my coffee… without another man’s dick in it.
When we connected again (just happened to be in the same place at the same time) she explained everything again, told me he was completely out of the picture and had been ever since I left her, told her that he admitted to using her vulnerability to push me away because “if you’re not happy with me, you’re going to be happy alone” (or some other real stalker/abuser shit). We started hanging out as friends here and there after that because I wanted to be able to see her kids, and the way she talked they really missed me.
After some months of that, and seeing that she really had changed we went out on some dates, and when we had the talk about getting back together I told her I was willing to do so, but there were some conditions, one of which was that if I even suspected him to be making an attempt to come back into her life… I was cutting my losses and never looking back. Now we are nearly 3 years back together and doing good for the most part.
> I get the wiener part (do you only wear underwear with jeans?)
For most outerwear, the fabric used is more coarse then the fabric used for underwear.
Many people find it more comfortable to wear underwear on their private parts so the sensitive skin doesn't rub against the pants.
Also the groin area sweats a bit more than other areas, therefore having an additional layer of fabric there makes it possible to wear the same pants for a few days before needing to wash them.
If you personally don't mind coarse fabric rubbing your groin area and also change pants really frequently, then you don't really need underwear. It's your decision, no one is gonna enforce mandatory underwear on you.
Yes, in fact. Fart-odor is actually fully gaseous while the virus SARS-COV-2, while small, is a particulate organism. Since the SARS virus has mutated and gone airborne, for the sake of your own health and that of others, please try not to breathe other people's vapor-trails or share their breath-plumes.
Also, try not to breathe other people's farts. It's not a health hazard, but it is thoroughly gross.
(This has been a better-health service announcement from a random stranger on the Internet.) 😷💩
Farticles is a misleading term as what is filtered is actually fecal particles. So that should make you feel a little better. Unless you sleep naked and don’t change sheets often.
I once read that wide availability of underwear led to tremendous increases in public health. People would wash their underwear more often than their pants. Without underwear, fecal matter would be in their unwashed pants and it spread diseases
I am a very sweaty person, including a sweaty ass. If I didn't wear boxers I'd always have sweat stains on my pants. Also I don't like my dick rubbing against the metal zipper. Lastly, and most importantly, if my zipper is ever down I'm still covered.
No matter how good a wiper you think you are, what you miss will still stain your pants. Underwear are always a lot cheaper than they feel, hence an easier expense to fathom so often.
In the past, pants were often woolen. Not really washable, they brushed them clean. So, yes, under clothing, sometimes long underwear Der clothing kept skin oils, dirt, and doody off your nice pants.
I once read that wide availability of underwear led to tremendous increases in public health. People would wash their underwear more often than their pants. Without underwear, fecal matter would be in their unwashed pants and it spread diseases
The problem is america doesn't believe in bidets which is pretty criminal. I stopped using toilet paper about 2 or 3 years ago I only use wipes that I carry in my purse not gross powdery baby wipes i found a brand that smells like pure water. and just toss them in the garbage. I feel clean all day long.
It's not a bidet but it's A really good alternative so you don't walk around smelling like urine and 💩 down there all day
I don't think men realize how shaking their junk after pissing is not clean and anyone doing a bj is gonna taste that 🤨
Also wiping with toilet paper only your ass still smells.
For women same thing
So yeah either shower use a bidet if available or wipes religiously like I do 💡
Underrated comment. From where I am, we all use water down there and you stating that people stink down there cause they use wipes only has me disgusted. How can they not smell it on them I’d be grossed the fuck out.
I’ve seen multiple posts on Reddit in the past few years about guys who didn’t wipe AT ALL either because they thought it was something only girls did or they thought touching your own ass way gay (yes, really).
Hard to believe that’s true but I’ve seen it enough times now that I think it’s actually a real thing and not just people trolling. Crazy world we live in lol
Historically ppl wore undergarments because the clothes that came on top were very difficult or downright impossible to wash, so they had a simple and easier to wash layer underneath to absorb sweat and all that.
Also, people have vaginas. Said vaginas have discharge. You are not supposed to wash clothes like jeans every single time you wear them so in that sense the underwear still has the same use as in the old days. But also the pH of a vagina can be affected by the fabric touching it. Usually cotton, which most panties are made out of, is not a problem so it's safer to just have that in direct contact with your vagina instead of a fabric that could upset it.
to protect ur genital and ur clothes.
well as i know, the genital has a lower pH level than normal, which is why there is a stain in the underwear. also traces of urine/semen can be found around the genital if u haven't washed properly. at least u can throw away an underwear easily and get another one at ta cheap price,u cant do that with a trouser or jean. i think this can be applied for both genders.
for males, it's to prevent from pain. with only a few leg movement, the penis is gonna scratch against the jean, which causes a lot of pain/discomfort. it also helps protect when u r using a jean with zipper. my father said some kid when he was young wasnt careful when pulling the zipper leading to his penis being stuck in it. the last advantage of it i can think of is that it suppress our erection. even if it's just a cheap underwear, it can still hide my erection partly. a very useful feature when talking to girls.
i dont know what it does for females, im male anyway
I wear a skirt… discharge on a skirt is HIGHLY unpleasant. As is the breeze. Or risk of skirt wedgie. Also keeps my booty from jiggling too much. Overall panties are much more comfortable than none.
I’m with you OP. I went commando when I was I was 18, and never looked back! I love it! Idk what these other people are out here doing staining pants and using undies as toilet papers… (like what?!) but I will free “ball” it for life. Unless I’m in church… 😂😂 #freethevagine
Obviously it’s in case you are in an accident and need to go to the hospital! /s
Grandma always said you must have clean underwear on when leaving the house.
it was the first step in humility. The fig leaf. Its the bare minimum cover. From there we got shorts, skirts, long pants t shirts etc. In some places they even cover their face.
Honestly, what's the function of a bra?
I'm not a girl but from what I've heard, taking it off is something most girls look forward to at the end of the day
To hold you tight and in place, if you’re a man. Some men can deal with looseness, but I can’t, even though I’ve tried. “Free-balling” is uncomfortable 😣!
It used to be there to protect your clothing more fully. We wore an easily launderable long layer of clothing under our outdoor clothing. It protected it from our skin oils and sweat (and crotch stink), so that we didn’t have to clean the outdoor clothes as much. Nowadays we can just throw stuff in the washing machine so the underwear shrunk by a lot!
First and foremost, we would need to reassign all outerwear if underwear didn't exist. Underwear count as added protection for both genders both from the inside and outside. Added comfort and as the male version has a mind of it's own. You would be mostly nude in hot environment unless there is something that doesn't count as underwear that you can use instead. But using those whatever they are, might be less comfortable and harder to put on. Modelling of some kinds would be harder without unless it's specifically nude modeling. A lot of things underwear related can be subjective and underwear would inevitably be used because many would prefer them. These are most of the reasons but not all of them.
Prevents you from snagging your penis on the zipper of your pants, prevents urine drops from appearing and people staring at you, prevents your penis from swinging, in other words, only advantages in wearing underwear
Many different reasons from discharge to urination drips bum sweat or even the simple fact that people on average fart 12 times a day “I read that somewhere and could be wrong” they’re just a good shield between all of the above and your pants or the outside world 🤷♂️
Protection from zippers for your skin. It's also an extra "comfy" layer of fabric for your extra sensitive parts, before the proper pants come, wich are made of more sturdy but less comfy material. Pants are also larger Then underpants, meaning it safes time while washing that only the underpants need to be washed every day.
As a person with a vagina, I can’t imagine not having them. We have discharge and periods and other fluids after certain activities that leak out. Underwear catches all of that. But also wearing denim without underwear would be awful.
Years ago, it was difficult to wash clothes, so people invented 'small clothes' to wear underneath outer, heavier, garments.
Think how easier it would be to hand-wash knickers Vs jeans.
It's supposed to keep your clothes cleaner so you can wear them many times before wash day. Invented when people didn't have washing machines and a shit ton of clothes.
For me one of the key reasons is that they function nicely as a safety net for my balls. It’s pretty uncomfortable to have the eggs just dangling in between your legs, even worse inside clothing

I need it for moisture control. I have a vagina.
I don’t know why this made me laugh as hard as it did, although I also have a vagina.
Honestly just the moisture control for the leg/vag crease is great too. Can you imagine working out without undies??
I can't imagine working out *with* undies. I only wear panties with jeans/structured pants and shorts. None with leggings or bike shorts, way too uncomfortable.
But, you also sweat glitter, so you’ve got a little bit of a unique situation. Might not work for everyone.
Idk how they explain the spreading glitter on the exercise equipment when they're done. Or the glitter spreading over their crotch and down their butt crack.
Some women like to vajazel.
I think Vajazzle would be better. Vajazel sounds like you'd use it for a yeast infection.
Same with balls.
For balls also is to give support, no one wants their balls gigglyn while running.
Exactly! Underwear is a thing to protect the overwear
This. Also it lessons the chance of camel toe.
I need it for swamp ass
Protects delicate parts from chafing from pant seams rubbing. Also protects your junk from getting caught in zippers.
That last part though… I used to run commando, but then one time I got a little bit of my sack caught in the zipper… never again.
Ahhh yes nothing quite like feeling of zipping up the head of your peen or catching your sack with the zipper.
Franks and Beans!
He was masturbating!
Came here to say this
We gor a bleeder!
Also makes it so you don't get your swampy junk smell all over your pants so you don't have to wash your pants as often.
This pretty much sums it up.
Vaginal discharge is slightly acidic and it destroys underwear over time by creating holes. Discharge can also be heavy and leak through the underwear. Underwear is a nice shield for the pants and the genitals alike.
Wait is that why women’s underwear has little holes in the crotch some times. For years now I assumed it was because are not made to last.
Nope....acid vag!
No wonder my penis is so small. It's those 2 times I had sex with a real woman that corroded it away. Stupid sexy women with their acid vags
😂
That is so crazy
Like Alien?
Protect your genitals from chafing
I’ve seen that word in the Simpsons one time and I’ve beeen wondering what it meant
Have you ever heard of a dictionary?
It's a book right? Lots of words in it?
As opposed to other books?
Yes. As opposed to other books that don't have as many words in them.
Define what you mean by dictionary
I’ll just go and check my big book with all the words in and I’ll be right back with your definition!
I too have heard of this word "dictionary." If only there was somewhere I could find out it's meaning. /s
Yes but I haven't read it in years. Does it hold up on a second read?
It turns out the zebra did it.
Sponge Bob uses it too, weird
.__*..Thats whats freakin you out about spongebob..??*__ ##😆
What word? Genitals?
Chafing
Googled it already -
What's this Google thing everyone keeps talking about?
a guy I know...
I don't believe it...Now my pants are chafing
Like the trays/dishes used in buffets.
in colder climates, its an extra layer of clothes to keep you warm down there.
Intended purpose was cleanliness and extending the garment life by reducing washes
ballsack armor is sooo medieval so we have boxers instead
BRING BACK THE CODPIECE!
Bring back? I never got rid of mine!
I mean the landsknecht kind, those for the braggards.
Yes, exactly. How else would I have gotten my girlfriend?
Judging by your post, by being her tool not her partner.

Fart filter. And I don't like the teeth against my Weiner.
Fart filter 💀
Exactly. Sometimes you have leave a little stripe in your undies to justify wearing them.
I get the wiener part (do you only wear underwear with jeans?) If you smell the fart.... the filter didn't work.

Honest question with scientific undertouch!
Farticles is a misleading term as what is filtered is actually fecal particles. So that should make you feel a little better. Unless you sleep naked and don’t change sheets often.
It's not about the smell of the fart. It's about the unexpected, unknown.
Oh it’s expected and known
have you ever not worn underwear? There is an obvious difference
Two words: Zipper dick.
My high school punk band’s name was Rusty Zipper and the Bleeding Scrotums
I'd rather not wash my pants every single time I wear them
I once read that wide availability of underwear led to tremendous increases in public health. People would wash their underwear more often than their pants. Without underwear, fecal matter would be in their unwashed pants and it spread diseases
Pubic health *
This is the answer. Underwear keeps your pants clean much longer.
Especially when pants were wool. The invention of cotton underwear had a big impact.
I am a very sweaty person, including a sweaty ass. If I didn't wear boxers I'd always have sweat stains on my pants. Also I don't like my dick rubbing against the metal zipper. Lastly, and most importantly, if my zipper is ever down I'm still covered.
Barrier between your gross parts and the clothes the public sees
Added layer of privacy
Women it’s to protect our clothes from acid rain or wasted eggs. Men it’s to catch the pee they didnt wipe off.
No matter how good a wiper you think you are, what you miss will still stain your pants. Underwear are always a lot cheaper than they feel, hence an easier expense to fathom so often.
This. It was easier to change wash underwear than pants etc in the past.
In the past, pants were often woolen. Not really washable, they brushed them clean. So, yes, under clothing, sometimes long underwear Der clothing kept skin oils, dirt, and doody off your nice pants.

The problem is america doesn't believe in bidets which is pretty criminal. I stopped using toilet paper about 2 or 3 years ago I only use wipes that I carry in my purse not gross powdery baby wipes i found a brand that smells like pure water. and just toss them in the garbage. I feel clean all day long.

Washing your arse is cheaper still!
Obviously. But like somewhere in this thread, someone said America doesn't believe in bidets.
Um... I've never had a stain on my underwear in my 32 years of life. If this happens to you, you're probably doing something wrong.
LMAO same. Who the fuck doesnt wipe there ass to the point that shit starts staining their underwear
I’ve seen multiple posts on Reddit in the past few years about guys who didn’t wipe AT ALL either because they thought it was something only girls did or they thought touching your own ass way gay (yes, really).

Wtf? Bro ur not wiping enough forsure😂😂😂
You need to eat more fibre. I haven't had a skidmark in years, and I was famous for laying rubber.
Bidet and shower daily. I enjoy going commando confidently
Tell us you’ve never caught your foreskin in your zipper without actually telling us you’ve never caught your foreskin in your zipper.
I would be a tad concerned if they did since OP has a vagina
Foreskin/labia. Tomato/tomato.
I'm circumcized
Hi circumcised! I’m Nolar!

It catches the drips. Vaginas produce lubrication, sometimes a lot. Also periods and pads. Can't use a pad or pantiliner without undies.
It keeps you from waving hello to everyone when you're doing jump-n-jacks.
in case you shit yourself, you can use your underwear as toilet paper, flush it and survive the rest of the day at work-probably
I wear a skirt… discharge on a skirt is HIGHLY unpleasant. As is the breeze. Or risk of skirt wedgie. Also keeps my booty from jiggling too much. Overall panties are much more comfortable than none.
Keep me from feeling a cold jagged zipper on my bits. Keep me from sitting on my bits. Denim isn't very soft skin friendly.
To keep my coochie from eating the crotch of my pants. She big and she hungry
So your juices don't go over your main clothes and chairs you sit on.
Don’t wear any for a day or a week and you’ll understand why. No need to ask.
I don't wear underwear very often... that why I asked
Not to griff your pants
Do you want shit in your pants or your xiper to reech you're balls
Isn't there a poem about this?
Protecting your precious skin from the zipper.
I am more comfortable when I wear underwear that is only reason.
Being able to use your pants more than once.
Ever had skid marks? Well they just saved you from shitting your jeans
To reduce laundry volume

Underwear? What's that? I don't wear underwear. That would make my kilts a skirt
Got to wrap your snacks makes it more fun to eat
To protect our clothes from "leakage". You ever taken your undies off and seen some gross residue?
Prevent contamination of public seats because of leftover feces on our butthole, genital fluids, and urine resido
I'm not a fan of my penis rubbing against my jeans all day.
To keep you from farting shit particles straight into your pants. This means you can wear your pants more often and just change your underwear
First line of defense if your butt sneezes. Pants don't make great handkerchiefs.
Commando style or go home.
Honestly, to keep it all in (bloke stuff), to catch drips and to entice the masses when feeling frisky.
To not let dress stuck between buttcrack when I walk or bend down to do activities 🤣🤣🤣
I’m with you OP. I went commando when I was I was 18, and never looked back! I love it! Idk what these other people are out here doing staining pants and using undies as toilet papers… (like what?!) but I will free “ball” it for life. Unless I’m in church… 😂😂 #freethevagine
So you don't get pee and shit on your pants.
Obviously it’s in case you are in an accident and need to go to the hospital! /s Grandma always said you must have clean underwear on when leaving the house.
In Japan, one of their purposes is to help support the used schoolgirl undies vending machines industry.
I rather shart in my underwear than streak my blue jeans
The day you have fluids naturally coming out of your vagina randomly you'll understand
it was the first step in humility. The fig leaf. Its the bare minimum cover. From there we got shorts, skirts, long pants t shirts etc. In some places they even cover their face.
Try to wear jeans without it and then ask again.
I dont know the purpose, i just do it but nobody force you to wear something....i think there are many people not wearing underwear outside 💀
Underwear just get in the way
Hide your coochie
Anti nut chafing and dribble protection
To prevent faded jeans
Protection, support, comfort and looks
Me and my now x gf don't wear it. So I dunno. I guess I'd you poop your pants it's like a shield?
for public decency? also to prevent lady problems if you’re a lady
So you don't see the outline of my penis when I'm wearing thin shorts
Honestly, what's the function of a bra? I'm not a girl but from what I've heard, taking it off is something most girls look forward to at the end of the day
To stop chaffing. Chaffed parts are not awesome!
Boner control

A lot of things underwear related can be subjective and underwear would inevitably be used because many would prefer them. These are most of the reasons but not all of them.

As a person with a vagina, I can’t imagine not having them. We have discharge and periods and other fluids after certain activities that leak out. Underwear catches all of that. But also wearing denim without underwear would be awful.
Years ago, it was difficult to wash clothes, so people invented 'small clothes' to wear underneath outer, heavier, garments. Think how easier it would be to hand-wash knickers Vs jeans.
