AIBU to object to my partner wearing his late father's underwear?

You could say the same about Olio and similar schemes, though. Even if somebody is very comfortable financially, a lot of people just hate the idea of perfectly good, useful stuff being needlessly sent to landfill.

I'm sure they're a normal size and not some kind of 2-man ridge-pants of the style you could maybe get on special order from Go Outdoors, in which that would actually be possible!

Would you say the same about their bed, or their house, or indeed the county they lived in - stay well away from all of them, in case you should happen to see or touch the place (as in location, not body part) where you might have been conceived?!

Ignoring the fact it’s his father and he’s passed…

a grown man wearing another man’s pants is weird. Is he struggling for money? If so, that makes sense as men’s pants are expensive I suppose.

I wouldn’t even pass down my son’s pants to his younger cousin, because well, they’re pants.

Unless it's a top-half only garment, you can't buy any second-hand clothes without knowing if they once were nestled directly against somebody's nether regions - if they went commando when wearing them.

They could even have had a major code-brown-style accident (one layer wholly insufficient) whilst wearing an everyday pair of trousers and besmirched those in a likewise manner too (before washing them, of course).

They're his dad's old pants; not his mum's best frillies

Well if his dad liked having sex whilst keeping his pants on 😕

Has he considered that he may have been conceived in them? Or that the best part of him could actually be a stain on said underpants???

Whats the problem if nothing wrong with it? How do you know that you aren’t buying dead people’s clothes when you shop in a charity shop?!?

It depends on whether they r well worn and also the type. Y Fronts as in tighty whiteys arm noooooo. If they r just boxers and reasonably loose I wouldnt be bothered really x

I wouldn't have a problem with it - presumably he only wears non holey pairs with no staining from the previous wearer. Dd3 often wears her older sisters' knickers that they left behind when they moved out. My db died 2 years ago (I have no idea what happened to his underpants - df may be wearing them but he was a very clean person). I wear his socks and tshirts.

Not on Mumsnet. If you don’t want your man wearing dead daddy’s pants you’re a weirdo and what’s your problem?

Charity shops will take trousers, shirts etc - but not underwear
Ask him if he would be turned on by you wearing your mum's knickers

There are some things in life that it really is OK to just throw out. The underpants of a bloke who has died definitely fall into that category.

Don't see what the problem is and why you are questioning him about it.
Why is it bothering you so much?

Got this image of white Y- fronts in my head 😂

What’s all this about pants being up someone’s arse crack? Folks are wearing the wrong size if that’s the case. (Or wearing thongs and I think OP would have mentioned that if it was the case).

Pants, absolutely not. There’s a reason charity shops won’t take them. It’s not at all like other clothes- they’ve been up someone else’s arse crack!

Unless it was new in pack its full weird.

But he wouldn't have been wearing them after he passed away.
Nothing wrong with it as far as I can see.

Just when I thought I'd read it all on here! 😂

I am going to guess he’s pretty…. Careful with his money

I've lent knickers to a friend when we went on holiday and she had forgot her knickers, can't say I would be bothered at all.

Does this count?

On clearing out a late great uncle’s clothes, we found packs of socks unworn as still had the tags on. My DF wore these

And you have d made that clear to him? And he respects it?
