Come to me one and all, I wish to have a festive conversation about pants

[HoneydragonAteCliffRichard]

Particularly Dh's pants. He's a briefs bloke and always wears these oh so fetching ones, I am wondering whether he should branch out and try something new, but not too new he isn't good with change. They put the blue bit in the waist band about 5 years ago and he's only just recovered from the trauma of change

What do the men in your life wear?
Can you ask one if boxer briefs are the same as briefs?
Or shall I just get the boring bugger the same pants he's been wearing for the last 10 years?

mine wears tight boxers, good job he's at work, me telling the world what he wears

dh has hipsters or trunks like these and i like them i moved him away from boxers with a little trauma.

They aren't great are they ignores the fact that I wear passion killer Knicks myself

Dh will only wear baggy, baggy boxers. Snug fitting ones....no chance. Ds1 will only wear briefs too, no boxer style ones for him and he's only 9

I don't think you can convert someone who is set in a certain style of undies. To be fair, we would probably be divorced before he could say sorry if dh tried to part me from my passion killers I can faces most things in life as long as my bum is comfortably warmed and supported by my undies.....I am sure it's the same for men of a certain age

yes i agree, got to be comfy, like my bum in my pants, not my pants in my bum get him the ones he likes or risk it and get him the tight fitting boxers, but not baggy ones, he prob won,t like his crown jewels loose

So the shock of trying to entice him into boxer briefs could prove traumatic?

Is it like changing fish into new tanks, too much too soon and they shrivel up and die?

I just think the tight boxers look rather nice, wouldn't force him to let it all hang out, that would be mean.

Had to buy my dad some fetching Y fronts yesterday. Thank god for Debenhams.......

He refuses even to imagine other pantwear...

i was a bit sneaky i bought them and they weren't worn until i got really behind with the laundry - the he had no choice.

he devotes an entire Sunday to doing his own laundry, it's a special time for him it may have something to do with the the tv above the washing machine and sky sports.

oh pants

this thread is rather sad....if it was in aibu, would i be blamed for changing dh's pants?

yes, let him choose your pants and you choose his, fairs fair now

DP says at what you linked to, Honeydragon!

I told DP I was very glad he said that because there would have been no second time for him if he'd shown up in those!!

Shinybaubles has the right ide/shape but they must be plain black or white; stripes are just a step too far...

Mine wears v similar to yours from next and has given me a very strict talking to that they are the only ones he finds comfortable and never to try to make him change them. As in change what he wears. He changes them daily I think.

Yes, he somewhat annoys me if I am wearing my non sexy pants ... Even my non sexy pants fail to get ed.

Will investigate next or they better or worse than dh's M&S beauties?

I hate hate hate briefs! I won't even let ds wear them and he's only 2 1/2. Tight boxers all the way for dh and ds. Dh will only wear black or grey though no white, so is a bit fussy!

DD wears loose fitting boxers. If they're too tight his balls get too hot apparently

Oh fgs. Now the interwebs thinks I buy shite from Pedlars, men's pants, rude Ebay stuff and Per Una Speziale.

Buy him the pants. Make a fuss. Leap on him when he's wearing them.

Stinky you daughter's balls get to hot?

You need to start a whole new thread about that

HELP ME FIND ALTERNO-BRIEFS PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE!

Me and dd got dh some of these with banana man on

And he even wears them occasionally :)

Maybe he could start a new trend?

Fluffy! You are not helping! He won't even wear socks with pictures on how can I get him to wear cartoon pants?

Ah, you need a five year old to choose them especially for him so he will feel obligated to wear banana pants.
Also quite amusing when she shouts out in public places that Daddy is wearing banana pants :)

M&s nicer i'd say

I looked Yellow.

I suppose I should just be grateful I talked him into black only, the patterned ones were awful
