I considered adding the bow and fanged face to the underwear in the “Worst Purchase” post, but alluding to my own work might be a tad premature.

You may have just bested yourself with your new drawing. Haha. Well…at least, you came close. I may still prefer this toothed underwear one. LOL

I’ll bet I can get Jay to take a picture of me and make me look like one of those votive candles you see in the “ethnic foods section” of Midwestern grocery stores. The only thing is, how can I incorporate undies when my hands are folded in chaste prayer for the comfort of other peoples’ bottoms?

Rebekah: By wearing them as a headdress, naturally. I know you two are busy, but I’d LOVE to see this project carried out.

HAHAHAHA!!! I hadn’t yet seen a close-up of the underwear masterpiece you created. Wedgies are bad enough with normal underwear…but, underwear with teeth? LOL!

Rebekah: Thank you, it IS my masterpiece. I’ll probably die without besting myself.

I don’t know what’s wrong with all y’all. I must have the perfect lower torso or be extremely lucky when buying underwear. I bought some panties last night and giggled because some of the packages said “wedgie-free.” I thought it was a lame gimmick. Now I find it’s a real issue.

Maybe I just have tolerant ‘tocks.

I could be the patron saint of comfy drawers!

Rebekah: Wow! I would have sworn ‘wedgie’ was one of those words marketers avoid at all costs.

You can only be the Patron Saint of Comfy Drawers if you’ll make a picture of yourself as such and let me post it here OR start your own blog and use it there. If only my Photoshop skills were as keen as my imagination.

I’ve learned that silk underwear is not the way to go. Talk about the Ultimate Destroyer Wedgie…

Rebekah: I knew a dude with a pair of red silk boxers. He LOATHED them, wouldn’t wear them until he was COMPLETELY out of underwear. I came to think of them as “The Red Flag”, because if he didn’t get around to doing laundry for a few days, he’d keep wearing those red silks….

MORAL: Wear pants that fit and innocent bystanders will be none the wiser.

I’m glad you shared.
Thanks to your fan base I now know way more about the crotchal area of mens wear than I ever wanted to know…..

Rebekah: Plenty more where that came from! Think of this as multicultural education.

Roomy is one of the things they brag about….we’re just not “equipped” to appreciate it.

Rebekah: I remember an episode of ‘The Wonder Years’ in which Kevin’s mom took him shopping for a suit. His mother announces to the fitter that the suit Kevin wants is a ‘a little roomy in the crotch’. Kevin imagines a PA announcer saying “ATTENTION, SHOPPERS: THERE’S PLENTY OF ROOM IN KEVIN ARNOLD’S CROTCH!”

Just came to me, thought I’d share. =)

Yeah, just to further clear things up, men are usually of two schools – “over the top” or “through the flap.” The former involves pulling down the front of your pants and underwear, and the main benefit is that it’s fast and you can do it without touching yourself.

And now I’ll apologize for hijacking your discussion about wedgiemakers. Not familiar with women’s underwear manufacturing irregularities, I wonder if it’s really always the same culprit, or if some days one’s panties get into a literal bunch by chance?

Rebekah: You haven’t hijacked anything, you’re adding valuable masculine perspective. I wore boxers for awhile, back when I wore JNCOs and other massive jeans. I like the idea of boxer briefs, but they’re not designed for someone with my ample thighs— and I found them strangely roomy in the crotch.

I used to not use the flap in men’s underwear, but it is extremely useful when wearing a shirt tucked into pants. It allows you to go without unbuckling your belt and screwing up your shirt tuck, saving valuable time and the hassle of re-tucking your shirt every time you use the urinal. Besides, using the flap just feels less sloppy than pulling down your entire pants front. But the debate of proper flap usage has existed since time immemorial, or at least since men’s underwear with flaps was invented.

Regarding flap fastening, I always just leave the flap unbuttoned to save time and groping around trying to unbutton my boxers fly. But I’ve always wondered how my boxers somehow become magically re-buttoned every time I do the laundry. I’ll be at the urinal trying to pull my junk out, and be like, “Gee golly goshdarnit, my boxers re-buttoned themselves again!”

Rebekah: Because I so seldom wear men’s undies, this whole comment was like a big word problem for me. I had to read it to myself (slowly) three times before I understood what was going on.

Example: In reading this, I forgot that you man-types don’t have to pull down your pants to take a leak, so I thought you were tucking your dress shirts into your UNDERWEAR. Whew, glad I got THAT sorted out.

The re-buttoning boxers remain a mystery. Very ‘Twilight Zone’.
