I wear men's underwear. Only two people know this secret; my husband and my coworker.
And now you.
I'm not talking about a pair of men's boxers worn to bed at night, but men's tightie whities worn during the day. Although I actually prefer coloured as opposed to white. This is not so shocking as a man wearing women's panties; right? Or is it? Are you disgusted or revolted?
Why Men's Underwear?
It began during my first pregnancy when I discovered they covered my expanding belly and the ample rear I had developed. Truth be told, my backend has always been ample which could be why I continued wearing the underwear after my pregnancies. And for the record, no my husband and I do not share the underwear, he just happened to buy some that did not fit right for him and now they are mine.
Here is why I continue to wear them:
The briefs cup my cheeks ever so nicely and because they fit provide such a nice fit under my cheeks, I have no panty lines. This makes them great to wear with athletic pants. And as a mom I spend a lot of time in athletic wear even when I'm not working out.
They are thicker; so they add a little more warmth when needed during the winter months.
Along with the coverage and warmth; they are oh so comfy; especially when you are relaxing at home after a hard day of work.
Is wearing men's briefs for everyone? No, probably not. If you enjoy your g-string and thong; then don't try them. While I can't wear briefs with all my pants, I have worn them under a skirt. I have even thought of submitting a more girly; sexy design to a major Canadian athletic company for other women who wear briefs beneath.
Even after announcing my secret to the world, I will probably continue to wear men's underwear but at the same time, in the back of my mind, I always wonder what would happen if I got in an accident and they had to cut my clothes off. What would they think?
But then I remember the old adage and know that it doesn't matter...so long as they're clean.
