Tighty whities for a physical

Not having worn tighty whities for years, I wear square cut briefs when I go in for my physical - generally a pair of black ones. Similar to the traditional tighty whities, the square cut briefs are tight and look great on an athletic body.

That's what I started wearing when I was a teen, and I just never stopped. Sometime, they will be colored, but normally the classic fly brief style.

I agree with some of the others, that the term seems somewhat off, but we all know what's meant!

I *think* during the 50's, 60's and especially the 70's and 80's that was basically the choice of undies was white brief undies. Boxers were for old men, grandfather/grandad wore boxers and its seems if you were a child and teenager, the common undies were white briefs like hanes or fruit of the loom.

I *think* when the 80's rolled around the white briefs were still very popular, but then designers came along like Calvin Klein and Jocky and BVD made briefs but in white and different colors. By the 90's it was boxer briefs were popular (see Marky Mark in Calvin Klein Ads) showing off in boxer briefs and the colors changed and jockey had more "speedo" looking undies.

The mid-2000's the underwear are mostly worn is boxers, or designer underwear like UnderArmer and the style has changed a lot and now white briefs as what we call "tighty whities" is now for young boys and old men like myself.

Most teenagers and young men don't like tighty whties.....I guess it takes a certain person to understand and a certain generation.

@mboyd77 you captured that trend pretty accurately

I ware Tighty whities all the time. I find them more comfortalbe than my boxer briefs which I ware to sleep in.

In the UK at least, I understand that boxers became popular after the Levi's advert with Nick Kamen stripping down to white boxers in a laundrette in the eighties. I believe that originally it was going to be briefs in the advert but the regulator said it was too much exposure and so they changed it to boxers.

Then as mboyd77 said, in the nineties designer boxer briefs came along and everyone wanted to be seen in their Calvins etc.

I did that when I was a kid

Me too, I used to wear white undies and t-shirt for pediatric examination (that in every case were removed, directly at the beginning or during the examination...)

I did between the ages of 5 and 12 to my pediatrician office. the nurse or Doctor would remove them right when I got into the examination room after undressing.

My play "doctor" insists on tight white underpants for my medicals. I have 3 pairs for my appointments. He performs auscultation and probing with his fingertips ajacent to my genitals whilst im in my underpants before he removes them completely to begin my genital and rectal exams. He supervises and is "hands on" to take my semen sample.

I never had boxer on me. I only use briefs. I only have the habit, I always wear white briefs if I go to my pediatrician.

As a child and teenager, I always wore tighty whities to a physical exam. The nurse would either remove them and have me sit nude on the exam table and wait for the doctor, or I was told to sit on the exam table and wait for the doctor to come in. When the doctor would enter the room, and at some point during the physical exam, she would have me stand on the floor. She would remove the tighty whities and continue her examination of my nude body. I would often feel embarrassed and over time I became submissive and did what I was told to do. Due to having run naked into the clinic's bathroom at age 5 and locking the door when a nurse walked toward me to give me an injection with a large needle, my dad had warned me that if I did not do as I was told and act respectful during a physical exam that he would spank my bare bottom. I thus avoided a spanking by acting obedient,. The nurses were very controlling with me as they didn't want the doctor to again wait for 30 minutes for me to come out of a locked bathroom. As an adult, I have always worn tighty whities to a physical exam.

YEP thats me... I normally wear boxers but when ever i have a physical i wear TW's.......

Yes, I always wear tighty whiteys to the doctor even if I'm not there for a routine physical (because you never know). I don't wear them as often outside of the doctor's office, but do ocassionally

This is a good idea — maybe I should try this at my next appointment

YES! I always wear whities to my physicals and boxers otherwise.

I only wear tighty whities do I where them to the doctor as well

Had to unfortunately visit the ER for a bit yesterday, but had on a pair of clean tighty whities, which I wore under my gown for about 6 hours or so. I had to drop my pants in the intake area so that the intake nurse could see the problem I had which was up on my left thigh. Also had to get an ultra sound of my leg to check for blood clots, which involved the groin area on both sides, so I'm pretty sure the ultrasound tech got a good look down there too.

I occasionally wore them or briefs which were less revealing.

I had not come across the term "tighty whities" before joining this site, don't think it is used in the UK or Europe much.

Since the advent of close fitting boxer shorts I have always worn them and like good bright colours as well. Mind you sometimes in hot weather I tend to go "Commando" but would not do that at a doctors appointment.

Slightly off topic I can remember back in the 1980's when it became very fashionable for guys to wear very brief under pants, goodness knows why we wore them as they were very brief indeed and not that comfortable either.

Definitely the white underwear is a big plus when I was playing medical exam with my patient. It is very sexy for my patient to wear the tighty whities. I absolitley love that!

I have always worn my regular daily underpants. When I was a kid it was white briefs but I changed to boxer shorts when I was 9 and that’s what I still wear.

Absolutely. In fact, it was through this forum that I discovered how linked my medfet is with wearing cheap tighty whities as a kid and to the doctor. It's pretty much all I wear now! I feel so much more comfortable in them, more than in any fancy underwear.

I grew up in the early eighties and basically guys wore white briefs. One exam i had when I was 12 the nurse said 'have your sons take off everything but their briefs',assuming all the males would be wearing briefs. My mother insisted that we wear new underpants for each checkup as she wanted us to be clean after we disrobed. She even reminded us that she was going to see us undressed ,so no dirty underpants.

Nowadays I am naked a drape over my genitals and a gown open in the back.

While I don't recall a doctor or nurse ever specifically saying the word "briefs" the rest of this is so much like what I remember and have posted about before. At one clinic we went to, they would talk to our parents, not directly to me and my brothers, and say something like, "have the boys take their clothes off. They can leave their underwear on for now." And also my mom always had us wear our best underwear for doctor visits.

Really was given that option growing up. Always told to undress completely from the start. Guess it varied from pediatrician to pediatrician.

I don't ever remember the word briefs being used, but I can clearly remember, age 11, the nurse instructing me to undress "to your underpants and vest".

I had never experienced this before, and I was mortified.

When I go to the doctor I prefer to wear briefs. I don’t have whities, I usually like wearing red briefs for a physical. It feels a little more embarrassing, a little more exposed.

I like most forms of underwear . Only baggy boxers or shorts are banned and any patients that wear them are stripped immediately . I love to see what guys wear beneath . I think briefs show guys best . If I go to doctors I tend to wear black briefs

I've worn tighty whities when I had exams. Even had a nurse one time comment on them and how they fit me nicely.
