Question #2A –. Can I continue to wear same underwear second day ?

As health is concerned, you can wear same underpants two days without problem provided that the underwear is clean to the eye (without mark with urine or stool).

However If you have scratches in the skin, sores or rashes, do not extend wearing your underwear to second day, otherwise you could end up with an infection.

You need at least 14 pairs if you launder your clothes once a week. A pair for each day of the week and backups for exercise or travel.

Question #4 – What’s The Best Fabric/Material?

Quality underwear provides ample ventilation. The fabric won’t warp easily, ensuring a comfortable fit for many months, if not years. Cotton and modal (Made from a semi-synthetic cellulose fiber) are the most common choices. Woolens and thermals are suitable for colder climates.

Question #7 – Is Going Commando Fun?

Going commando (wearing pants without underwear) is your choice. Wearing underwear prevents your private parts from rubbing against the heavier fabric of your trousers and in some cases, the metal parts of the zipper. Also underwear protects your package and prevents stains on your more expensive clothing.

Question #8 – Which color Underwear i should choose?

Basic, solid colors like black, white, gray, blue and red are great color choices. If you’re wearing white pants, it’s not a wise idea to wear black underwear. The outline of the dark underwear will be clearly visible under the lighter colored trousers.
