  Went to a department store that I hadn't been to in a long time today. There was a large area in the women's department labeled sleepwear. On the men's side, there was a very small section labeled loungewear. I guess they know what men wear it for. Most of the area was occupied with flannel pants at 80% off. I guess they didn't sell well even for lounging. I saw a few shorts but no shirts. Seems to me that men who shop here must wear nothing or underwear for sleeping and a few of them may add pants or shorts for lounging.

  I did it a while back -- went through anything and gave most of it to a thrift store.

  Interesting, and I agree I'm old enough to remember having a single suit that didn't get cleaned much. Still have few and they don't get cleaned much as I only use for special occasions. Hadn't thought about the underwear connection though. I also remember a great uncle continued tow ear removable starch collars until he passed in the 60's

Most need to be dry cleaned. so they are not cleaned as often as clothing that can be washed.

  I don't own any underwear or socks and no longer own a suit.

  [quote]I was in a department store earlier today and I noticed a sign that said Mens Essentials on the wall over the area containing underwear and sleepwear. I can't think of many things that I view as less essential than these. Who would agree with me?[/quote] We all love to spend money buying new clothes but we never realize that the best moments in life are enjoyed without clothes

I buy them as rarely as possible and look for bargains when I must buy some,

  I so agree, Underpants I rarely use and sleep wear I have not used since 11 years old. I do not think I could get to sleep if I did wear something now. Underpants I wear only when I will be out and about and want to avoid the little wet patch that can happen after taking a leak, no matter how you try, there is always that one last drop.

Now in my 70's there is frequently more than a few drops before I can get it out to go.

  I had that problem shortly after some bladder surgery. I found that a soft "jock strap" was all I needed to control those errant drops, and it didn't feel as confining as briefs or boxers.

  [quote]Sonce discovering nudism ive also now discovered the joy of "going commando". Rarely wore anything to bed anyway, but now when i have to dress going out i dont bother with the boxers. Next best thing to being nude in a loose pair of shorts[/quote] I am one who has discovered the joy of going commando, and don't even have any underwear. Have you gotten rid of yours?

  [quote]Loose and free is definitely the way to go nakedman54...never going back to underwear now, cant believe i didnt do this sooner Open my trousers to pee too...just another way to be a nudist on days when i have to dress lol[/quote] How old were you when you stopped wearing underwear? I was 64 so you were certainly younger than me. I had to wear a suit most of the time at work, and I didn't think that the slacks would be comfortable without. If I had known how quickly I would stop wearing underwear after I retired, I would have counted my underwear and undershirts and starting that many days before retirement, disposed of them when I got home from work.
