Underpants in Europe
 
I think my husband should wear briefs on our trip to Italy next month. He wants to wear under shorts. I say briefs dry faster and besides European men wear them, you can tell by looking. What do you say? He will be reading this later tonight.

Jeez ... Aug 28th, 2001 02:37 PM

Buy Depends, wear 'em and toss 'em away. That way you'll have lots of room in your luggage for those souvenirs you will want to buy. If your husband wears chinos, he won't show panty lines.

You people plan way too much! Tell him to go commando..then you don't have to wash them at all!

JOdy Aug 28th, 2001 02:40 PM

Just don't buy him NYLON briefs, I did that once , trying to speed up drying time and my husband still has not forgiven me after 20 years!!!!!

xxx, <BR>You're so right! Also, he's ready to go, if/when "the mood" should strike him!

Patrick Aug 28th, 2001 02:53 PM

Well, Wanda, with all those cathedrals and museums in Europe, we now know what you spend your time looking at!!!

I Aug 28th, 2001 02:54 PM

pull them down, and use your creativity, and I suspect that you can persuade him to wear, or not wear anything you ask of him. <BR>

I think if your husband is over the age of 12 he should be able to pick out his own underwear and should wear whatever he wants. Furthermore, I don't buy your reasoning -- briefs don't dry faster if they are cotton knit, a woven cotton or cotton plus some synthetic will dry as fast or faster. I have an underwear fetish and own about four dresser drawers full, including some washable silk male boxer-style undershorts which I sometimes wear instead of a slip -- they are cool and dry very fast.

Wanda, <BR> <BR>You're not going to wash them for him, are you?

Wanda Aug 28th, 2001 03:26 PM

Patrick, I can't help but notice, the European men are right out there. They must have some kind of lift in there. <BR> <BR>xxx: I guest he can wash them himself with the shampoo provided by the hotel <BR>(I learned this on this sight). <BR> <BR>He doesn't like thongs, and doesn't like to pack, so I do it for him. So I should pack what I think is best for both of us. Right?

If I had to do my husband's packing for him, he'd be lucky not to find barbed wire in his underthings.

Wanda Aug 28th, 2001 04:09 PM

Well, I want to make sure he measures up to the European's. They don't let their underpants get baggy. <BR>

Rosenatti Aug 28th, 2001 05:31 PM

Wanda, uhm, heh heh heh (insert lecherous squint here)... I must ask. How do you know European men don't let their undies get baggy?

Hiho Aug 28th, 2001 05:39 PM

Aren't you kiddies getting so happy by getting your rocks off with all these double entendres, etc. on this post. <BR> <BR>In a word - blech!

Anna Aug 28th, 2001 05:47 PM

He should get some coolmax or wickers boxers. They dry much faster than cotton briefs. You can find them at www.travelsmith.com or at www.wickers.com. My husband really likes the Wickers and usually they have a free item promotion at their website.

Wanda Aug 28th, 2001 05:48 PM

Well Hiho, my question is a real one. <BR>Women wear bras to look perky, why shouldn't a man want to look perky in his pants?

Wanda Aug 28th, 2001 05:50 PM

Anna, thanks for the info. I will look it up.

Art Aug 28th, 2001 07:24 PM

Wanda, stop by Germany and get a bratwurst for him. <BR> <BR>What is he more comfortable in? that should be the major question. <BR>Regards, <BR>

Carin Aug 28th, 2001 07:45 PM

Just have to top this one. ... "want to look perky in his pants?!" That's the funniest thing I've seen on this site for a while!
