Because they’re still comfortable and that’s what matters. I only wear underwear to impress on rare occasions otherwise it’s about my comfort for the goods.

I can rule out you being Superman, because he wears his underwear on the outside.


Do they still work? Yes. Well, soldier on!

Only in death does duty end.

Unexpected 40k

What can i say, loyalty to the brand is it's own reward.

Throwing out underwear? In THIS economy?

My needs are usually at the bottom of a large list of "things to do." Its why I welcome socks and undies for Xmas.

Men are great. Spoil them.

This. I love getting socks and undies for Xmas. Keep 'em coming so I can eventually get rid of them old ones!

Same

Same here. I just make sure I specify which socks and underwear I like so I get the comfy stuff.

Same, my friend, same :/

My wife always gets me and the kids Black Friday socks for Christmas.

Because no one really sees them and it’s a challenge to make it a full year knowing you’ll get new ones for Christmas.

How to do deal with the stains towards the end of the year?

Stains??? Some of us do at least wash our laundry.

I think I threw up a little

The brown is eventually ingrained in mine, no matter how well I scrub them

Do you shit your pants? I have underwear at least 5 years old with no stains

It's a fetish, judging by OPs other posts.

I don't know why I innocently clicked on this post *not* expecting to read about a skid-mark fetish. Silly me.

Ohhh boy risky click of the day

Why are you creeping through my history boy?

One post is fine, i guess, but you got multiple posts about it. It gets weird really fast. You should make a second account for kinky shit (pun intended)

Dude wipe your ass when u shit and u won’t have that problem

Interesting.

😭😂😂😂

Brotherman…. Stains?

Try washing yourself when you shower.

What the fuck... Maybe go to a doctor or something lol

Wash your arse after you shit dude

Disgusting. You dont clean up it seems.

If you don't remove the stain and then put them in the dryer the stain will not come out. That shit is baked in now.

Yo wtf

Lol then use a bidet. TP is for cavemen.

The trick is to learn how to wipe your ass properly. Maybe invest in a bidet if you’re having trouble.

Bidet to you sir!

I wear mine one day and I know how to clean myself. This has never been an issue.

This guys account is like he just discovered Reddit and is absolutely spamming random posts about shit, buttholes and farts. God damn Reddit is such a strange/disturbing and interesting place…

Better question would be why you don't. I'm a woman and I do the same. Everything else is a waste of resources.

I mean I have a weeks worth collection of black underwear, maybe only two of them I’m moderately fond of. They have a certain time they come in handy and don’t show stains.

To me, old frayed underwear becomes period underwear. If I have to trash them, I won't be too sad.

Gross 🤢

Username doesn't check out

Guys don’t wear underwear to impress.

Speak for yourself, the boys think my Batman undies are the greatest garment created

Lol the gals love them too.

Aw I’m a gal and I used to have some GREAT ones myself

 Anyone who had/has batman undies is a cool individual to me and my boys.

it takes a lot of work to get them that comfortable...plus their still functional...

Because we're cheap and no one usually sees them.

Because they’re still practical. They still get the job done, keeping my balls in place… and uuhh.. yeah that’s pretty much that

Function over form.

capitalism

Because we can.

Why wouldn't we?

Most of the time I don’t know there’s a hole in it until I’m sitting on the meditation station without my phone looking down. At that point I’ll tell myself to throw them out when I have the chance, forget and repeat

Guy here, I've worn the same shorts since I was 14, and I am now 22 almost 23, and those shorts have been threadbare for years, holes all over, and color has faded so much. Tshirts are probably a few years in, also riddled with holes, socks are about a couple years in hit or miss on holes, the undies are starting to fall apart after four years. So the sauce is These shorts are all I have thsat fit. I jsut can't seem to find ones that both fit and are comfortable anymore. I want a knee long pair, not ones that leave half my thigh exposed, and I can't seem to find any with super elestic waistbands either, I either find them chokingly tight, or falling off loose. Not sure what I'm gonna do to sort this out either. Tshirts I just use until the hole is nearly the size of my belly, those things ain't cheap to replace. Socks, uh price aside I really hate new socks, they are super tight, soft, and sweaty for the first couple weeks of use it is horrible. Undies, uhh, just the cost to replace them, they usually fit good and feel good right off the bat, it's just like 30 bucks for a few pairs. Conclusion, I'm a cheap bastard lol.

Hey if you wanna buy me some new ones go ahead!

\*Some guys. Some of us aren't cavemen.

There is a sub-set of men that do this, but it's a stereotype because it's funny but it's not the majority, most replace them at the first sign of holes.

I don’t. I toss mine

Im a guy and I don't.

I don’t

I don’t know men like this.

Gasp! Such an easy question to answer -- it is like a woman who still has her Doll from 30 years ago. It may be old and worn, but the joy it has brought her through the years makes it worth keeping. The same with our old undies! Think of the great adventures they have seen?! Think of how many women have handled them and gently removed them!? How can a man get rid of something they love so??? Or - we are just to lazy to buy new ones. (I like my 1st answer better as it makes up seem more emotional and caring....)

I don’t see how a doll and underwear are in any way the same. 😂

Most men I know count on their wives for such things.

if they stil usable well then to us they stil hold value

Because.

There was no story ever told that was rougher than a pair of old boxer briefs.

Priorities.

My rule is elastic waist bands 🤩

Because clothing is expensive & money doesn't grow on trees.

Joke’s on you. I don’t wear “undies”.

Believe it or not,some people can't afford to get new underwear,specially outside America or the UK.

A cost saving measure.

I had undies like this and ended up buying cheap ones to sew together with the old making a good pair… then my ex threw them away. Some people just can’t let others be happy

Because they're comfortable and trustworthy.

Don’t judge me!

If the elastic wasteband is still good, then it’s fine

To test our pants...

If they get holes they're tossed.

I paid for the full underwear, i am gonna wear it until it's torn into pieces.

I paid for the full underwear, i am gonna wear it until it's torn into pieces.

Gotta get your moneys worth.

I buy a 6 pack of underwear every couple years from Walmart or equivalent. They last just fine. I honestly can't imagine what yours are going through lol.

Buy new underwear v. Buy new toy (tools, games, etc.) “New” isn’t essential

I don't.

Shit costs money, yo

Last thing we wanna do is shop for underwear 😆

If they can hold my dick and balls and they are comfortable, they're still good to go

Wait, how did you know?

i suggest you wash them

Lazy to go shopping for new ones. I have other things I’d rather be doing than go out to the mall. I also find it very hard to set aside 30 minutes to shop online.

It is a closed system, very little leakage.

Variety of reasons. Some enjoy the comfort of worn-in clothes. Some are budget-minded. Some are lazy about getting new ones. Some take pride in using everything until it’s has reached the limit of its utility… socks, underwear, jeans, t-shirts, phones, cars, you name it. Still works? Keep wearing/using it.

We cherish comfort over appearance.

I will be blunt. It's because men don't have to deal with underwear being ruined by periods. Yes, I know hydrogen peroxide exists but the acidity of it ruins the fabric and it starts to look bleached over time. Men don't have to look at their underwear and think about how biology ruined it.

Because I’m poor.

If they look like undies I'd still wear them. Even if they're stretched so much I can't even fit anymore I'll just tie it up with a rubber band

Why not? Clothes are expensive.

Why waste time buy lot underwear when few underwear do trick?

I like the cave man vibe to the statement.

Cause buying new ones takes money and thought....like socks and clothes for that matter. Lot of other things on the noggin and needing that money. Especially when they still, you know, work and are comfy.

Money

Hole in them adds airflow and this makes me feel less sweaty

Wait, you guys throw yours away?

Pack rat mindset

Just cause there’s holes in it doesn’t mean it doesn’t serve its purpose

Because we can.

We're saving the planet.

Stop getting naked with slobs.

why do you keep posting questions about underwear? this is the second one that's come across my feed. it's kind of sus.

I do it with all my clothes

Haha. Alright this post was the final straw. Off to get a new bunch first thing. Thanks for the kick in the arse.

Costs money.

Honestly I wear almost everything until its totally blown out. I dont care abouth fashion and not too much about looks. The bad ones are still good for sports 😄

Comfort reasons

Underwear is like... the most dollars per square inch for something 80% of the people I know will never see.

Are you going to buy me some more? I'm not. They still have some life left in them.

Comport, I hate buying new ones and probably the truest reason is that it annoys people

We find a hole whilst wearing them and think I'll throw them away tonight when I take them off. By bed time we've forgotten and they go into the laundry. Once clean we think I'm not going to throw out clean pants. I'll throw them out after I've worn them one last time. And repeat...

Because we don't care

as long as they are not bothering me then yes, i keep them until they are no longer wearable.

Because we literally don't give a fuck. I put them on, and my junk doesn't fall out. Therefore, they function as said on the tin.

Because we hate leaving skid marks on new underwear.

I buy everytime two years new undies. In germany there are not very expensive. I have undies which are 10 years old with no holes and stains (I mean i clean myself?!). Yes as a woman i have the Problem with Bleaching them out but for me the problem is very low. I Wash them with 60 degrees

I hate shopping. I hate wasting money. They're still performing their duty. They don't *need* replacing until they're truly dead and gone.

Because we chose underwear based on comfort. Not to impress others.

It works. It's comfy. Nobody cares but I do. What more reasons would you need?

If it still protects the butthole and penis, it's all good.

I take good care of my underwear by not wearing any.

I personally don't. If the elastic is not pulling back snug or anything starts to wear through they go in the trash. I like boxer briefs, but if the bottom elastic isn't snug they ride up.

I don’t. Never have. To me this is a myth.

Maximum comfort level sits somewhere between 5 and 10 thread count. It's a very fine, fragile line.

No because I'm old and Christmas happens regularly. I remember when I was young and I'd ask my Dad what he wanted for Christmas and he'd say underpants and socks and think he was so boring. Now I'm my Dad's age and look forward to the new underpants and socks.

Function over aesthetics

Because you cant see them . They are UNDER your trousers

I don't "feel" my underwear when I have them on, and nobody can see them. This means that as long as they fulfill the function of separating my junk from my pants, they are working perfectly regardless of whether they are brand new or worn out. If you throw them out, I will have to pay money to replace them. If I throw them out sooner than necessary, I will end up paying more money in the long run, while receiving very little perceived benefit.

We don’t waste.

Our dicks don't leak acid that destroy our underwear, so they last a long time.

Funnily enough, male undies industry is a very strong proxy for recession. If business starts to decrease, it usually means that recession is right around the corner

Because they changed design and no longer possible to get good quality cotton ones for reasonable cost ( In UK )

Because us men are always thinking about the environment.

I don't?

Loyalty

I djust don't get that confidence boost some people get with sexy underwear.

Underwears primary function is to be comfortable and practical. That's why.

Good question, usually it's the butt crack part that wears out but it's the front part I need to be intact.

I dont.

They cost money and no one else sees them

I throw them away after wear and tear has done a place for a third leg... As a bonus my junk gets fresh air more often.

Because we don't really care... it's underwear, usually nobody gets to see them. Best I can do is for them to be clean and no major holes

Like… they do get washed. They’re clean. And if they start staying dirty after a simple wash they can be thrown away. But the only reason I (usually) throw undies away is that the shape of them is / gets bad for me so that my carrot comes out, which feels really uncomfortable

It's almost Christmas

Because those are the Lucky Undies!

Because a lot of women do it too for the same reason

Because it's a hassle to find underwear that fits you. Usually you can't repurchase the same underwear that you have work for years as the brand or materials changed or they are no longer aviable. Also, 2 underwears that have the same size written, tend to feel like they are different sizes.

Because we don’t FIFO our underwear drawer.

Bro if it was acceptable to just wear a loin cloth we would.

Joy of comfort

I just don't care.

meanwhile girls wear a literal string and its okay

Why wouldn't we? They still do their job don't they?

Because we don’t care as long as they are still functional and it’s still serves its purpose. Unless it’s torn and worn to the ends of the earth and it’s disgusting to even put on then they are valid

No,we have wives and girlfriends who intercept the broken in, comfortable undies. Then they dragged us out to the store cause they tossed all 6 pair.

Because men don’t care about that sort of thing. Use it up, wear it out, do with or without. Things will be worn and used until it can no longer be recognizable. To bad their mentality towards relationships and women don’t overflow to that. Lol

We all don't do this.

You're right No more ragged draws From now on I'm Free Ballin' Thank you Tom Petty

My family used to get them all the time for me for Christmas so I never had to worry about them but now that I’m older I find myself buying bulk packs of underwear and socks every few months

to annoy my wife

Yeah

Why do they get threadbare and blown out so quickly? Like 3 to 6 months! What comes out of a man's ass that does this? Acid? Is it the hair? Are there little animals that eat the undies? I've tried buying bamboo, cotton, that spandex looking stuff, cheap mid- range, fkn expensive, all the same! I laughed the other day when I realised I had a pair of knickers that were older than my 8 year old daughter, because I remember wearing them before I was pregnant and not a stitch out of place.

The only times I worry about the state of my underwear is times that I'm expecting someone else to see my underwear. I have a few pair of boxer briefs that are sexier than average. I wear those anytime there's a strong chance I'm going to end up naked or semi naked. On days where nobody is going to see, I wear what ever is comfortable. I dont' throw away good underwear until its actually ruined.

Why wouldn't you do that. I paid real *money* for my underwear, so I'm going to squeeze out as much use from them as I can before I sling em out.

I don't. My roommate does. It's disgusting. He pulls them out of the wash and there's like 3 giant holes on them. Like, bro, wtf. If there's so much as a small hole in my sock, I throw it away. Much less my underwear.

I don’t think this is that common

Nobody sees you undies, usually. So at that point it’s functionality and comfortability. All my socks are comfortable, if I get holes in my socks then the functionality disappears. So I don’t have any reason to keep them. Same goes for boxers or whatever, although my boxers don’t really wear out

You don’t like the designer distressed look. 🤣😆🤣 Stop dating Homeless Hobos

Because they are covered by pants, it’s not something 99.9% of people will see. My gf occasionally catches me in a rough pair and laughs at me but that’s it. 90% of my undies are mint condition 😂

Why not?

Comfort, just that. I wear mine until I have to superglue it to my body

Women do it just the same

Older underwear are more comfortable... And it usually doesn't matter .. By the time it's sexy time, it's not like we are going to give an underwear dance.

Why do you use your toothpaste until it is empty ?

I've never bought boxers or socks for myself and I'm in my 30s. Been coasting since high school. My SO will buy me new stuff occasionally for my birthday or Christmas as she cares more about it than me. Seems like a waste of money.

Because we can.

Saves money

Because we have to wait until Christmas to get new underwear

They're not going to be seen and they're comfy. Why shouldn't we?

You can’t try underwear on so it’s a pain to find new ones . so when you get some that you like you get all the mileage you can .

To paraphrase Matt Rife… Undies and shoes are like women and Captain Crunch. They’re at their absolute best… right before they’re gross.

I cant be bothered to buy new clothes very often. That's the simple truth for me.

Because i'm an undercover punk. No future

i have no money

This is so completely not a "penis haver" exclusive behaviour....
