Age divide for tighty whities?

[Anonymous]

DH is 49 and wears boxers, my dad is 70 and wears tighty whities. It seems to be a generational thing. At what age is it the norm for most men to wear tighty whities?

My dad would be 72. He always wore tighty whities. I think maybe it’s a generational thing. My DH doesn’t even own tighty whities.

My dad died at 48, but would have been 80 this month. He always wore boxers. (And after work, nothing but boxers, unless it was cold when he also wore a tee shirt.)

I think the age divide should be at about 12! My husband wears boxers but he does wear tighty whities when he plays sports.

I only wear boxer briefs, only black, blue or gray. No boxers, no tidy whities.

I'm 34; have mostly ever seen the boxer brief ever.

I started wearing boxers in seventh grade. All of the other boys had them, so I associated briefs with being a kid. Haven't had any since then, although I prefer boxer briefs nowadays.

I wear tightie whities. They are sexy and accentuate things.

My dad passed away recently at 76 and he always wore boxers.

Isn’t it a matter of personal comfort like bikini vs thongs

I do not think that word means what you think it means.

I opened this thread and there is an ad for boxers on the right.

My dad is 80 and has always worn boxers. Same with my husband who’s 48.

Actually, I think it might be a class thing.

Same here.

Thanks for the horrible flashback to having to fold my dad’s laundry as a kid.
