I didn't as a kid, but many of my classmates wore underwear while swimming. What's the purpose of wearing it under swim trunks anyways?

 

[Kabuki Waq]

i guess a second layer of defense if the trunks come off.

 

[Mugen]

to restrict the boner yes.

 

[=W=]

Nope

 

[demi]

do boxers count

 

[Gart]

Some swimming trucks have built-in underwear!

 

[Suerte]

I just used to wear those swim shorts with this "internet" in them.

 

[cubanb]

nope, not under swim trunks, only udner shorts

 

[shpankey]

yes, even if they have the louvered built in's... the reason being is the word chapped.

Are you talking about the mesh thing? If so, my question still applies.

do boxers count

yes

 

[Desperado]

yes.

 

[siege]

No.

 

[Mashing]

Yes... I don't like the feel mesh has on my skin.

 

[Lakitu]

Yes, without underwear underneath, it is very uncomfortable.

 

[Loki]

Did you know that Al Gore designed those shorts, and still collects royalties off of every sale?

 

[Willco]

Wow, you people are freaks.

 

[Drinky Crow]

wtf

 

[Cerebral Palsy]

WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE JESUS

 

[mattx5]

What the hell? I know wearing swim trunks alone sucks for boners, and the 'see through' factor, but why the fuck would I want clingy, wet underwear hugging my ass when I swim?

 

[Lakitu]

Sorry, did I say without underwear underneath? I mean, with, sorry. :lol

 

[MIMIC]

No.

People do that??

 

[akascream]

Lol, I can just see you dorks swimming around with brief elastic sticking out the back of your swim trunks! :lol


Thanks, I needed a good laugh today!

 

[Baconäger]

Just the netting.

 

[Incognito]

I wear a speedo underneath the designer set of Abercrombie & Fitch's lastest swimwear. Why? well for one I don't like to have my member flopping all over the place, or even sneaking a peek in the pool during playtime so the speedo keeps things under control.

 

[ChrisReid]

So that's what it's called!

 

[alejob]

I use speedos under the swim trunks. I feel uncomfortable without, especialy when coming out of the water when the trunks stick to the body.

 

[Deleted member 1235]

underwear under my swim togs would be jolly uncomfortable.

 

[yoshifumi]

if they're board shorts you're supposed to, since they don't have that lining dealie. normal swim trunks shouldn't require underwear

 

[Space Age Playboy]

:lol

Why not also wear underwear in the shower?

 

[Ryck]

i guess a second layer of defense if the trunks come off.

"Take your best shot I'm wearing seventeen layers"

 

[heavy liquid]

"Take your best shot I'm wearing seventeen layers"

:lol :lol

What a classic episode. Perfect.

"The summer wind, came blowin' in - from across the sea.."

 

[sans_pants]

i actually did last year at myrtle beach because there are a few areas inside the trunks that rub my skin off completely


it was real uncomfortable without boxers

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Hell no...

 

[aoi tsuki]

i haven't worn swim trunks since i was like six, but i imagine i'd go commando. Works for most non-swimming related situations.

 

[blue_cat]

My brother and I used to refer to that meshy stuff as "crotch mesh"

The stuff still grosses me out...

 

[Phoenix]

Back when I was like 12 or so, but never recently.

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

I wear a flame retardant suit. Fuck man, I live in Cleveland. You never know when a body of water is going to burst into flames. :lol

 

[Bowser]

I wear boxers under my swim trunks.

 

[Meier]

Yep. Boxers are definitely a necessity with board shorts, but beyond that (and I've only worn board shorts for a long time) -- no.

 

[Bowser]

Well, I hate the netting so any time I get swim trunks, if they have netting I usually cut it out.

 

[ohamsie]

The mesh lining is so you don't have to wear underwear. What do you do when you change back into your normal clothes? Do you just wear the soggy underwear still or go commando?

 

[Desperado]

:lol

Why not also wear underwear in the shower?

Because the point of a shower is to wash the whole body?

 

[SpoonyBard]

GAF never ceases to amaze me...

soggy baby

 

[megateto]

That's one of the most retarded things I have ever heard, underwear underneath swim trunks... wtf???!!!!????

If you ever came over here (Spain) and pulled one of those in the beach, everybody would notice as it would take ages for that stuff to dry while you were laying sunbathing. You'll get a "point and laugh" for sure (wait, I am taking things to the extreme).

But yes, I'd never imagined people could do that kind of things. Wierd.

 

[Brian Fellows]

My trunks dont have the mesh. So I wear boxers under them.

 

[megateto]

Wait, maybe I am misunderstanding something here: could any of you post an example of what you call trunks?

I am beginning to think that you are not supposed to swim with them (no mesh????)

 

[john tv]

Wearing underwear underneath swim trunks is like going into the shower with a shirt on.

They are like those but with a diffrent design. I'm prolly not supposed to be swimming in them...but I do.
