Blokes taking off their trousers when at home

[Echobelly]

Is this just my DH or is it common for blokes to take off their trousers and hang around in their pants when at home with no guests around?

Amused by this. I work in a public facing role, in a public building. By the time I get home, the outside of my pants is probably more hygienic than the outside of my trousers as they haven't been directly in contact with e.g. chairs that hundreds of people have sat on!

Finding it interesting about the grossed out people here. Never occurred to me to be bothered about that - I wonder if it's because people might have a mental image of it as a slobby, sweaty, unhygienic guy habit?

I can understand where that comes from but I will say DH is very scrupulous about personal hygiene, which is probably why it doesn't bother me on that angle.

Get him lounge shorts for indoor comfort so his children don’t need to see his balls bounce about his boxers and he isn’t wiping his sweaty undies all over the couch others have to sit on 😃

Its no different really to shorts in the summer. Yes, there is one layer less round his bottom but come on, how much sweat do bottoms produce when walking about calmly.

Exactly. Outdoor clothes are far worse for sofas etc.

I never imagined such a thing. I can't even visualize my father or my husband or my sons doing this. Do they take their socks off as well?

First thing I do when I come home is take my clothes off, get bathed, change my pants, put on fluffy rubber gripped socks and a massive tshirt and that’s me done.

No.

Phwoar. I wish my partner would do this more. Love watching him walk around in pants before the jeans go on.

That's different!

Ugh. Just no.

Anyone doing that in this house would get short shrift from me.

No. Just your DH. In summer DH wears shorts. He never wanders around the house in just pants.

erm. No. If he’s been in the office he’ll change into comfier trousers and if it’s after his evening shower he’ll change into PJ bottoms. But he never hangs around in just pants and never has.

Not my Dad, late DH, DP or DSs.

Some of them like to be comfy so will change into joggers or shorts, but I don't think I've ever seen any of them downstairs in their pants.

DH is wearing t-shirt/top, not just pants when he does it. He is actually wearing trousers this week as it's just too cold not to.

Get him comfortable indoor trousers/shorts. Very simple.

He could get them for himself?

Eeeew 🤢 What an arse (ugh, literally!!)

Yes, mine does this. He doesn't wear very small pants (fortunately), so he is fairly well covered up. I don't think there is a sensory element, he just likes it.

I don't know anyone who does this.

I dont think it's a problem from a hygiene pov, there's just something disrespectful about it.

Mine did - he lived alone for ages. I put up with it for a while until the kids got a bit older and started having friends around and he sometimes forgot and still did it. Or people turned up at the door unexpectedly. Also when his mum was staying. Enough was enough. Overall, just say no. Life is not a lingerie commercial. Pants let far too much out. Or in. Gross.

Not usual in my house - trousers would be swapped for shorts but not just pants

Or in.

That bit has me baffled!

I honestly find it quite scummy just sitting around in your pants.

lol YADNBU 😂 what an image!
