Underwear Question

[joflier]

I''m at work, and I don''t want to google this......soooooo.....I need some good ole'' PS answers.
Is there an actual name for what the opening is in men''s tighty whities? Is it just called an underwear fly? Or is it called something else? (I need to settle a dispute)

 

[Autumnovember]

Good question--I googled it and got various answers. I''d say the fly because it''s not really that much different then the fly on jeans with the exception of a zipper.

I''m curious how this conversation came about at work--hahaha I''d love to participate.

I am here with DH so I asked him.

It is called the fly.

Although if I were naming it I would call it the weiner flap.

Bwahahahaha. I like that way better.

 

[Tuckins1]

I believe they are just called briefs.

 

[lilyfoot]

this is an awesome thread, lol

 

[soocool]

Ditto the others. "Fly Opening". However, I call it the "Peep Hole".

 

[Lula]

Where''s DF? I can''t believe he''s not all over this thread!

 

[AprilBaby]

I assumed it was just a fly? How about Kenny? Where is he?

 

[pennquaker09]

As a man, can I just say that this is the best thread EVER!!!

I will disclose that a lot of the newer briefs lack the fly though.

 

[MissMina]

First she said "Weiner"
And then she said "Flap" !

 

[kenny]

Here I am.

It''s not exactly something we guys talk about over beer and Doritos during half-time - but I''d just call it the fly.

Some of the descriptions on Jockey.com are very interesting
ie Low Rise and Stretch Classic.
But basically it''s fly or no fly.

At my house it is called the "pickle pocket"...

When my oldest daughters were 4, one of them decided she wanted to help me fold the laundry. She grabbed a pair of DH''s briefs, and stared very intently at the opening for a minute or two. Then she said (and I will quote word for word)

"This is daddy''s pickle pocket. He can put a whole pickle in there and when he gets hungry he can eat it. But wait, Daddy doesn''t like pickles. But you do Mommy! You can eat Daddy''s pickle!!"

I need to find a good "falling out of my chair laughing hysterically" emotie!


That is just GREAT!

Macy''s has some listed as having, ahem, ''male enhancement''? How does that work? Is that like the man version of a pushup bra? Are there wires or something?

OMG

That is just....
OMG

Who would buy that? How??? What???

For some reason I keep thinking of the Red Hot Chili Peppers

I find those little flaps interesting. Are they always used? I could have sworn I''ve seen my FI just unbutton, unzip and hang the "pickle" over the elastic band. Are those pickle pockets used only for public restrooms? Men? Can you weigh in? Is it easier to throw it over the top when at home than to finagle it out of the fly and back in?

See, I''ve wondered the same thing. I get boxers - it''s just a hole, but the briefs, it''s more complicated - like you gotta move one flappy piece over and then pull through......just seems like it would be difficult, yanno?

And we all know men can''t handle that

No man I know uses the weiner flap, they just hang it over the top!

ETA: That sounds like I'm a peeping tom in the men's bathroom. I'm not...just to clarify.

Baloney, sunny. I call your bluff.

You''re probably typing this from a men''s restroom stall right now, aren''t you?

But do men just hang it over the top in public bathrooms? They use the pickle pocket in public, yeah? Or do they always just go over? I''m confused. I''m going to text FI.

DH calls it the Penis Flap but that''s because we have a 4 yr old boy who doesn''t want FLIES around his manhood.

DH also says he opens the fly of his boxers whenever he pees. BUT, if he were to wear briefs, he says it''s nearly impossible and completely uncomfortable to finagle it out the hole so he would do the pull-down method.

Wow. I can honestly say that I''ve never spent so much time or energy contemplating men peeing.

lol about the pickle!

Someone has to contemplate it.

So...
If it is "nearly impossible... to finagle it out" so guys (some? most? all?) use the "pull-down method" wouldn''t that leave them feeling kind of exposed in public restrooms?


As a side thought... what is it with men peeing in front of other men anyway?

You''d never find a woman doing that.

 

[Dee*Jay]

Wait -- before you even get to the... um... whatever you call that flappy thing, do men unbuckle their belts, unbutton their pants, unzip, and THEN get to the underwear part? Or do they actually fumble around and drag the whole thing out through the slit that's created by unbuttoning the pants and not undo the belt/buttons?

(Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I've never thought about ANY of this before, LOL!)

ETA: OK, I see a bunch of us are thinking along the same lines! Kenny, Penn, DF, com'on! Spill it! (No pun intended!)

 

[kenny]

I wear briefs, aka tightie-whities, and unzip and unbuckle the pants and pull the front of the briefs down instead of using the fly.

(I never thought I'd encounter a thread on PS in which this revelation would be appropriate.)
