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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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?

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!
