    How many pairs of underwear do you own and do you alternate between boxers and briefs (or whatever else you might wear).

    I can't wear boxer and have about thirty pairs of briefs.



    yes before you ask I am incredibly bored at the moment.

    Why are they called "pairs"

    A pair of boxer shorts? Surely that denotes two things?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,379 ✭✭✭Jimbo


    yea- inside out and outside in. Like i've just learned

    Bout 20 pairs of boxers. No slips/briefs, thx.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 36,634 ✭✭✭✭Ruu_Old


    No briefs allowed, leave that to Mr.Bean. :) Heaps of boxers.


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 47,352 ✭✭✭✭Zaph


    Boxers only, maybe 15-20 pairs, I dunno and, more importantly, don't care as long as there's a clean pair for tomorrow.

    Funnily enough, that makes sense.

    But then why a pair of knickers for the laydeez?

    Wait, I've thought of the answer.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,575 ✭✭✭✭FlutterinBantam


    6 pairs of Y-Fronts...white at the front,dark mustard at the back.

    Anyone ever boil them in a saucepan to get the stains out?

    The come up great the first few times but eventually go all rotten at the crotch.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,974 ✭✭✭✭Gavin "shels"


    About 20-25 pairs of boxers (mostly designer one's:D and they're real).

    about 14-15 pairs of boxers. i havent had briefs in maybe 10 years


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,315 ✭✭✭A-Trak

    What you should do is, go to one of those "print your own" business card machines in shopping centers, get that exact post printed on a business card.

    Then when out on the town, hand them out to the laydeez.

    Bish bash bosh. End of chat up lines. Score Gavin "shels"

    just put vanish on the stains before you put them in the washing machine and all the stains go away:eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,575 ✭✭✭✭FlutterinBantam


    Even the dried -in stains!!!!

    I used to have a dozen toweling jocks, great for soaking up the ball grease,and could be recycled as face cloths towards the end.

    Why can't you wear boxers??

    Doesn't make either difference to me. I wear both interchangeably. Change em at least once a week too :P

    Can't for the life of me imagine those being anything but uncomfortable. Do you have 50 because, as a result of them always going where no underwear (other than other thongs) has gone before, they require a few cleans between wearings?:p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,811 ✭✭✭*Page*


    No just like them buy different colours and shapes and they only go to uncomfortable places if you get cheap ones...

    And i have so many coz i like them only have a handful of regulars that i wear. the rest are for special occaisions

    leave soak for a few hours in water with the vanish powder. and it gets rid of the dried in ones... you nasty men!!!

    I live with a nasty man and his nasty shorts!

    Haha that post wins this thread! :D

    On topic, i own about 20 boxers, briefs look a little horrible and dirty imo..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,417 ✭✭✭Archeron


    You lot are all snobs. Whats wrong with a bin liner with leg holes ripped into it? (Make sure its soft plastic to avoid the rustling when you walk though).

    Exactly why I think they sound uncomfortable.
    Besides, don't think I've ever seen a pic of a girl in a thong and found it even remotely appealing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,060 ✭✭✭Niamho!


    about 20-25 normal PAnts. (Not Granny pants...nice ones)
    4 pairs of french LAcy Boxer type ones
    2 pairs of Cotton boxer type ones
    and about 7 thongs....i hate thongs but i always feel i need to buy them to match the Bra. and sometimes an outfit calls for them. :mad:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,339 ✭✭✭✭tman


    Nowhere near enough... could someone point me towards a decent place to buy them online?:p (other than ebay...)

    :P

    Years ago after a judo mishap my doctor told me I was better off sticking to briefs. Suits me fine I always hated wearing boxers, they never felt comfortable and by the end of the day they'd be wedged up my arse.

    Eh.....loads of pairs of underwear......and it's all boxers........briefs are wrong.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,686 ✭✭✭EdgarAllenPoo


    What's so wrong with them? They keep everything were it should be and don't spend the day slowly migrating up your anus like boxers.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,466 ✭✭✭Blisterman


    Boxer briefs ftw.

    I found a brand and type that fit me like a glove and stay in place, so I'm slowly phasing out my old pairs, so that they're all the same type.

    More to the point I doubt you pick your bulk selection of undies according to how aesthetically pleasing they might be to the opposite gender before anyone thinks I might have been suggesting such should be done.

    Hope you continue to find them comfy so, at least if nothing else they should allow a little extra room when packing since less material should mean they'll take up a little less space too.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,811 ✭✭✭*Page*


    Its very true less space...

    getting on to boxer's or briefs i had a chat with the lad i live with and he informed me of "hipster boxer briefs" being the oddest and most uncomfortable pants he ever wore.

    anyone ever were them?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,789 ✭✭✭✭ScumLord


    Are briefs y-fronts'? I have some of them for emergency use but they make me feel like a 70s porn star when I wear them for some reason.

    Maybe 15 jocks and one designer pair of jocks that are like half and half. I never go commando.
