When it comes to undergarments, ladies are typically the ones getting the pressure to keep it sexy under their clothes. To keep your man interested, you are told that the underwear are supposed to be cute, even if that cute comes at the expense of comfort.
Men, on the other hand, seem to get an underwear pass. In all fairness, men’s underwear tend to come with a lot fewer bells and whistles. But just because we don’t need you in a lacy thong doesn’t mean that anything goes. We like to see something nice too, and in my extensive research conducted through conversations with friends, a lot of you guys are slippin’!
I’ve listed three common underwear violations and signs that you, sir, might be in need of an underwear upgrade.
You are wearing tighty-whities
Disclaimer: I cannot speak for every woman and her personal experience with tight, white men’s underwear. I will just say that any time the subject of men’s underwear has come up in my life, no woman I’ve known has ever deemed tighty-whities acceptable for any male over the age of 18 and under the age of 65. I am completely willing to admit that there may be women who are into them. I just don’t know any of them.
For most women, a man in tighty-whities either looks like a) a little boy or b) someone wearing a diaper, neither of which are the image you want in your mind when you look at your man. Unless you know that your lady is into them, it’s time for an upgrade.
You underwear have holes in them
This scenario is never appropriate. The answer to the question of whether or not your wife wants to see you in holey underwear is always and forever no. There is nothing sexy about walking around looking like you had a close encounter with a hungry dog. If your underwear have holes in them, anywhere in them, it’s time for an upgrade. You can apply this logic to bleach spots as well.
You can’t remember the last time you bought new underwear
If you haven’t bought a new pair of underwear in years, it’s probably time for an upgrade. Mainly because you are likely prone to the holey situation above. A friend of mine shared this tip to keeping your underwear looking pleasing to the eye: Every time you buy new underwear, your spouse gets to choose one pair of your old underwear to throw away. That way you can make sure you’re looking good to the one who presumably sees your undies the most.
Men, are you guilty of these underwear sins? Ladies, does the state of your hubby’s underwear matter? Do you like tighty-whities?

This is important and yet funny because I have a weird taste in underwear. Mainly for health reasons and comfort. As for men and women there are health risks. We all have to be mindful of our bodies. I most definitely agree that “hole-ly undies” should be tossed and you should have a variety of underwear for different styles of clothing.
