Hello, I usually wear underwear under my swim trunks because the netting is uncomfortable and sometimes causes chafing. It also helps keep everything in place and prevents visible erections. However, my parents saw my underwear under my trunks and told me it’s unhygienic and that I shouldn’t wear it. What should I do? Is it okay to wear underwear under swim trunks, or should I stop?
Some swim trunks have rough mesh that feels uncomfortable and causes problems. When that happens, I wear “sports” underwear (not cotton) that’s like tights, and it works well. I have other swim trunks with soft mesh that I can wear by themselves without any issues.
Get the ones with shorts built in. That’s the only kind my husband will wear now. You can find them cheap on Amazon and SHEIN. Chubbies cost around $75.
Just make sure you shower before swimming and wear fresh underwear, and you’ll be fine. The rule about wearing swimming trunks is to keep the pool clean.
