Question

My underwear develops holes in the crotch. What does that happen and what type should I buy?

Community Answer

It's totally normal for holes or bleached spots to develop in the crotch of women's underwear. Vaginal secretions can be fairly acidic so they can wear away at the fabric or bleach dark colored undies. In general, higher quality underwear will be less likely to wear out than inexpensive pairs.

Question

Will not wearing a bra cause any problems like breast sagging?

Community Answer

It's actually the opposite. When you regularly wear a bra, you weaken the muscles that hold up the breasts, and that results in sagging.

Question

Is it weird to have to press my underwear to my crotch to feel comfortable enough to wear them? It isn't a sexual thing, it is just an uncomfortable feeling when the discharge come out.

Community Answer

It is perfectly normal to need to adjust undergarments for this reason! However if you are experiencing a lot of discomfort due to your natural discharge, consider using a small panty liner to help ease the problem so that you can continue with your day. Many women make use of panty liners for this reason, particularly prior to menstrual cycles.

Question

Which is better: full drawer or cut drawer?

Community Answer

It really depends on what makes you comfortable. My advice would be full for a larger size, and cut for a smaller size.

Question

How do I find the right size if the leg is too tight with mediums, but the waist is too loose on large underwear?

Community Answer

Keep looking until you find a brand/style that has the measurements you need. The fit will vary between different brands for the same size. It can be a challenge, but comfy well fitting underwear is so important!

Question

What underwear is best when I want to have less butt sweat?

Community Answer

Cotton is generally a more breathable option, so go for that. Also look at labels like moisture wicking and athletic, which aim to wick away the sweat as you exercise.

Question

Is cotton underwear good if you sweat a lot? Is cotton underwear OK if you sweat a lot?

Community Answer

It could be as cotton dries quickly and is quite odour-free, so it would be preferable to other materials such as polyester.

Question

My underwear is too much tight, it is a brief.

William Hartono

Community Answer

Consider boxer briefs or boxers: they usually allow more space around the crotch instead of pressing tightly against it as briefs do.

Question

What should a man wear if he has both large thighs, a large backside, and a relatively large package?

William Hartono

Community Answer

Contoured or pouch boxer briefs made of a delicate material may be best. Look for designs that have more fabric at the crotch for your package. Some underwear have fabric shaped to separate the sack and shaft to reduce humidity. Choose a soft and smooth material like a bamboo blend or modal to reduce chafing.

Question

What underwear is best to sleep in? I wear bikini briefs and find I am getting wedgies all night but I'd still like to wear something down there.

Community Answer

Go for boy shorts instead. They have full coverage and are comfortable, and will be far less likely to give you a wedgie. Another tip is to avoid pants that are too tight for your backside - prefer bigger sizes for nightwear.
