If he's happy I would leave him

Maybe buy some plain ones and if he wants to wear them they are there

Spider-Man is quite "cool" ATM though I think

PissesGlitter · 04/01/2014 08:21

My husband had batman boxers on yesterday
He is 33
Should I stop him wearing them? No I shouldn't as it's his choice, the same as your son has made his own choice of undies

BikeRunSki · 04/01/2014 08:21

Erm....cartoon undies come in adult sizes too. DH wears them. I don't think it's that much of a big deal.

jenwa · 04/01/2014 08:22

I for some batman ones goes DH Grin. They sell the comic ones everywhere. It's a bit of fun really. I think if no one is bothering him about if (not that anyone would really be looking at his pants) then I would leave him to he happy wearing them.

jenwa · 04/01/2014 08:24

Ahh sorry I phone auto correct! 'I got some Batman ones for DH'

MimsyBorogroves · 04/01/2014 08:25

My DH only wears boxers that have cartoons on them.

GobblersKnob · 04/01/2014 08:25

Why do you want him to change? 'Responsible teenager'? He is only 13 and what does that have to do with his underwear anyway? Confused

tinyturtletim · 04/01/2014 08:27

Pick your battles

ShatnersBassoon · 04/01/2014 08:27

It's his choice.

lia66 · 04/01/2014 08:28

My. 16 yr old ds got Simpson boxers for Christmas, alongside his Calvin's but I know he'll wear them all just the same. No big deal .

Mikkii · 04/01/2014 08:29

He will tell you when he wants different pants.

DS is 9, he likes trunks with the exposed elastic waistband. Recently, he took all the trunks with "hidden" elastic and put them in the bin, saying he hates them, and he has told me numerous times. They were getting too small and he was making a point.

LOL at responsible teenager!

Buy him the underpants he wants. If he's not bothered about other lads seeing them in the changing room why are you?

TheRobberBride · 04/01/2014 08:31

If he likes them and wants to wear them then what is the problem? If they are made in his size then presumably he's not the only 13 year old still wearing spiderman underwear.

What does being a 'responsible teenager' have to do with his pants? Confused I'd only be concerned if he wasn't changing them regularly!

I don't think this is something that you need to get het up about OP.

LTB, obvs a lost cause

His pants, his business. Although I might not be saying that when DD is 13 and I find some frilly knickers or worse a g-string ShockGrin

I would be delighted if at the afe of 13 she still wears Peppa Pig knickers!

BenCohenismyChristmaswish · 04/01/2014 08:37

My seventeen year old son wears Sesame Street adult underwear which is readily available on the High St!!! I have seen ladies SS underwear available too at Asda!

Sorry OP but the title of your post made me giggle. My DH still wears themed boxers, batman etc. He was delighted when I bought him bazinga boxers for Christmas, his mates were envious. And he is a responsible adult despite this "fault".

dawntigga · 04/01/2014 08:41

what, exactly, is your issue with cartoon underwear? How is it wrong to wear them?

MissBeehiving · 04/01/2014 09:00

his pants, his choice

ILoveAFullFridge · 04/01/2014 09:06

This has got to be a spoof thread, surely!

rpitchfo · 04/01/2014 09:06

I sometimes wear them over my trousers...superman theme fades in

absentmindeddooooodles · 04/01/2014 09:58

My dp has such a random selection of boxers...I dont think theres any plain ones in there! Batman, bazinga, marvel, even a couple of christmas pairs. Meh.

dawntigga · 04/01/2014 12:17

rpitchfo do you live in the Vale Royal area or could you move? We have some fabulous characters around here ranging from Johnny Depp woman to Elvis woman. I feel that wearing their pants over their trousers person would complete our set Grin
