As my great grandma would say " Always wear your best pair of underwear, because you never know when you're going to get hit by a car and everyone will see them"
I've got comfies an cuties. Sometimes, I like to feel cute even if literally all I'm wearing is my underwear. And I almost never wear a cute bra so my undies need to pull double duty. But thongs, HELL NO.
I'm like the black woman in a red dress: regular panties for everyday use, stylish panties for special occasions. There's a third category, though: period panties.
No exercise underwear? Maybe it's just me, but there's no way I'd sacrifice my comfy period underwear to exercise, and using the regular sort just guarantees a wedgie that will attempt to cut you in half.
@@atriyakoller136 I mean, not necessarily outright planned exercise, but if you expect to be doing anything that might stress the underwear through repetitive movement it's useful.
@@thatboringone7851 Btw, what type of underwear would you recommend to exercise? Do stores sell specific garments for fitness purpose? I know there are sports bras and I love those, but pants... never heard of that. Thank you :)
Corinna Pr I knew people who own clothing factories growing up so I know what goes on in the background. You’ll would be surprised at the amount of people who don’t know and will wear clothes without washing it straight from the stores including underwear.
Emily Gladser this is in NYC in the early 1990’s, so when I went to this factory, it’s in a warehouse looking building. The workers would sew the clothes together and everything goes on the floor until they are finished with the batch. I saw a cat walking around and I’m assuming that the cat was there cause there’s probably rodents roaming around the warehouse so I’m pretty sure they crawled all over the clothes and no one would wash the clothing after it’s sewn and given to the retailers. I’m absolutely sure the conditions in other countries are much worst than in NYC where most clothing are made.
They‘re also usually sprayed with pesticides before they get shipped to retailers. You have to let out the air for some time before People can safely handle them (there had been some severe health problems before but I can‘t remember what exactly)
I think these are such natural things to talk about. I like that Dr. Mike talks about them openly, effortlessly, no irony, no shyness, simply naturally. 👌
That's still just two holes. It's homeomorphic to two single pipes, i.e. you can perform small continuous transforms on an object with two separate pipes in it to create the topology of boxer shorts.
An opening and a hole is not the same thing. You need to take a math class to study some topology. Even if there is an opening for the abdomen and openings for the legs, there are still only two holes. Maybe you could have a look at this video to learn what a hole is: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-egEraZP9yXQ.html&t=573
@@legion4698 I mean, we have underwear that are called hipsters but no one assumes that they're called that because they'd have been made for hipsters...... And no one thinks boxer breed dogs were bred for boxing, or that bulldogs would look like bulls etc etc...... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ when you think about things like that it no longer makes sense to connect those words together because they have nothing to do with each other, many words are trivial like that and don't connect to each other, like lead can be read in two ways and means MULTIPLE different things even with the same pronunciation but the words aren't "related"
My gynecologist always says white cotton panties are best. She said line drying them in the sun is best for killing any fungus/bacteria trying to make their home there. As a dental hygienist, I especially appreciated her recommendation of “Like your toothbrush, toss them every 3-4 months and get new ones.”
@@assetaden6662 what?😂 A pair of cotton womeny underwear is so cheap. Everything could be expensive if you expect to buy them in luxury shops. Just buy cheap cotton one's and when they become loose etc throw them away
@@i.8885 I throw undies away after maybe 2-5 -years when they get really shabby. I keep a few pairs aside for "good" and better ones in a suitcase ready for my next trip. When you're retired and on a fixed income, you don't play fast and loose with anything that costs money.
Huh... I always thought it was called a pair because it actually used to be a pair (at least for women) wel up into the 19th century... one for each leg and then buttoned together in the front and back or just both tied around the waist...
Eli's Whatever i feel like doing ... i was studying for descriptive grammar final and i remembered that video. I just had to take a break and leave a comment 😂
There are two main reasons for wearing underwear. First is to keep your outer-clothes clean as you would often re-wear outer-wear clothes multiple times throughout the week as washing clothes was an allday event. The second is as foundation garments, meaning they aid in the fit and look of the outer-clothes.
@@LednacekZ Do you talk freely about your underwear with your mates/family? Because if you do, fair play to ya, but the vast majority of the people see that as something embarrassing that souldn't be discussed out loud.
I think it isn't necessarily taboo, it's weird, but I imagine that most people given the right context are going to be completely fine if they are asked by a stranger about their underwear habits.
Here's another data point for your survey! I am a 34 year old woman, and I only buy briefs. Not only that, I am extremely picky about them! I get a specific brand and fabric (Fruit of the Loom, 50% cotton/polyester), because that is the only way I feel comfortable. The reason behind this is that I'm autistic, and have mild tactile sensitivity (most mild of my various sensory sensitivities). This limits my options for fabrics, as some feel really scratchy. I have tried bikini style and high cut style before, but those styles cause noticeably more discomfort than the briefs and I find myself adjusting them a lot more than normal in a vain attempt to alleviate that discomfort.
i am not autistic. my son is tho and he refuses underwear and tags are always ripped out, i feel the same way about fabrics as you, i refused to wear underwear for a long time, i only wear dresses as pants are uncomfortable,on occasion ill don an old pair of pants and regret it and have to change, its got to be cotton polyester t shirt material for the most part. it has to be soft. oh yea im always adjusting, my son only wears pj pants most of my dresses are actually nightgowns
An archaeologist here. Loincloths were most probably "invented" to prevent injuries during hunting and gathering (even more so gathering, as early people didn't hunt as much as the modern population things - they were mostly gathering, or fishing if they lived near the sea, which meant getting on, in and through bushes to gather. And if you were a man, that meant getting your ding dong dangerously close to small branches or even thorns, both of which could do a lot of damage and would hurt af)
Only doctor mike can make a serious educational video about underwear. And only doctor Mike would run up to random people on the streets and ask them how many pairs of underwear they own🤣
I prefer cotton as my choice of fabric. The polyester/synthetic fibers have a chaffing effect on my skin. They also don't absorb moisture very well so it gets uncomfortable after a 12 hour work day.
@@caljones I'm female and wear men's boxers. They're so wonderfully breathable and comfy. I work in a warehouse and it's so much nicer after an eight to ten hour shift. Plus no wedgies :)
Very informative, I especially appreciate what you said about contact dermatitis. I live in a tropical area, learned that it's very common to get a rash because of extreme heat, plus the polyblend underwear. Thank you!
This is why I wear briefs and have recently discovered that low-cut brief(lower than briefs but still higher than boyshorts and hipsters) are a thing and I love them because they aren't taller than my pants.
I like how they look without pants on, but can’t stand seams showing through pants or leggings, even supposedly seamless styles show through or create that double butt look, lol
I like the "hipster" style which is pretty much bikini style but a higher rise, up to the hips lol. I like being able to pull my underwear up to my hips, feels more secure.
@@maraysiabrewer2381 I used to too but they were either too loose (too big), or they dug into my inner hip/thigh (right size but they'd dig in cus the fabric isn't flexible enough there).
Going commando isn’t that bad actually. I stopped wearing panties a couple years ago for no other reason than just for the heck of it. Hygienic wise, there’s really no difference for me. I don’t have any chaffing, or discomfort from friction either. It’s super convenient not to have that extra layer under many circumstances too. The only exception I wear underwear now is if I’m wearing skirts or dresses that are above the knee in length… for obvious reasons. It may not be for everyone, but hey, don’t knock it until you’ve tried it!
So, you wash your slacks/jeans and longer skirts/dresses with every wearing then. If you don't, ew. Also, not too good for the environment with all that detergent going into the wastewater.
@@ybrynecho2368so uh you don’t wash your clothes after your wear them?? Eww the body has sweat glands everywhere just because it’s not touching your private directly doesn’t mean they’re clean. Just say you’re stinky and move on.
How weird. Did you develop a mutant ability to control your vaginal discharge ... otherwise I don't understand how you can go on without wearing any underwear
Funny story, my maiden name is Ester. My dad said he always wanted to name one of us Polly. 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ I cant imagine a world where I'd have been named Polly Ester. 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️😂
Sure when Doctor Mike asks how many pairs of underwear he gets great answers and laughs. But when I do it, it's "inappropriate" and I'm "not welcome at the library anymore"
I’m not sure if it really makes a difference since I wash everything before wearing it but I buy organic cotton underwear that’s dyed with nontoxic stuff to minimize chemicals that might cause contact dermatitis or endocrine issues. Also launder everything with fragrance and dye free laundry detergent. Prefer Borax over bleach.

Fitbits are usually digital, so he may be wearing an analog watch as well so that he has the second hand for manually calculating heart rate and respiratory rate, etc.
That bit about using mild/hypoallergenic detergents is something I’ll never not do. When I was little ALL of my clothes that were washed with harsher detergents made my skin dry or irritated.
A “pair” of underwear comes from the same as a “pair” of pants. They used to be two separate legs attached to a waistband. In fact before then it was just a pair of legs, that you put on and tied to a waistband or belt. For underwear on women, split drawers came into popularity around the late Victorian era (late 1800’s ish) For actual outerwear, pants, men wore “chausses” which were a separate leg with a point in front to tie to the waist or belt. I’m a historical clothing nerd. And this is an older video so someone might have already told you all this. But there you go! ❤️
I didnt know the facts but figured it was something of the sort, as im a sewing nerd and they are just two of the same pieces flipped, so its like a pair ig idk.
@@sirnunyabuiz6529 Because most schools don't actually teach it. Or, at least not in a way you actually have to learn it. And these videos are by someone who does what he can to compile information and not post incorrect facts! Something Google can cause
Can't say I understand why anyone wears anything in bed. I got tangled up in pyjamas, nighties, t-shirts, whatever - eventually, my mother gave up trying to make me wear them, though they were placed on my pillow each day......
@@shinstantramen5169 Just cover yourself with blanket or something while you leave so you don't freeze up and get sick. Nudity is not a big deal when your life's on the line.
I hate the limited options for women’s underwear as far as the cut of the fabric, I know this didn’t focus much on the history of undergarments but there is so much more info out there and a nice long bloomers style undergarment is so much more comfortable, bit more snug to fit modern clothing styles so more like boxer briefs for girls which I have rarely seen and then for some reason the length is way shorter when they make them for girls. I call for undergarment revolution!! 🙃
We have granny panties which are just as comfortable as boxer briefs. I wore bloomers when I was a little girl with my lisle stockings to cover the space between the top of the stockings and the edge of the panty, which the bloomers did.
TheCheeseburger141 my period panties are black, navy, and dark brown, and I have like 10 pairs-2 periods worth, in case I forget to do the laundry in between😂
Madeleine you don't wash your laundry once a week??? And here i thought i was being lax not doing laundry twice a week. You must have a LOT of cloths 0.0 I don't have specific undies for that time of the month, i wear whatever i can find...i never put away my cloths lol It's all in baskets most of the time
My husband is allergic to polyester and usually this is not a problem, he loves denim. He herniated his belly and was recommended this spandex tank top to assist. While in the ER with a massive allergic reaction we discovered the "spandex" was part polyester. I will never get him out of denim now.
Still can't believe only two types of women's underwear were mentioned. We're over here with g-strings, thongs, bikini, cheeky, boyshort, granny panties, etc etc like come on, I wanted to know if my boyshorts are healthy too 😂
Now I'm glad I hate those types of undies... give me a bog-standard granny-style brief, albeit in funky colours as I find white, black or tan boring as heck, any day!
I don’t get how a permanent wedgie is comfortable. Prefer the bikini or hipster styles more than the briefs. Mostly because it’s more difficult to find high-rise clothing these days. Also… lacy underwear just rips way too easily. Microfibre ones are okay for camping (imo) because they dry faster, but majority of the ones that still fit me are cotton.
@@SugarandSarcasm i've been a bikini girl my whole life, moreso now that i've had 2 c-sections and got that lovely "skin apron" going on, so cotton bikini underwear rests right up underneath it and stops me from constantly developing thrush.
@@SugarandSarcasmit’s not even a wedgie lol I used to think that too. A wedgie is like your whole underwear bunching up in your crack. A thong is a really small piece of fabrics that lays on top of your crack, it doesn’t go in.. lol
As a girl I literally own several pairs of cotton boy shorts cuz those are so comfortable. Don't know if others relate or it's just me being weird again😄 anyway this vid was so informative, thanks Dr Mike
Yes girl! That's all I wear and I love them, I buy the Victoria secret women's boxers, they are cute and comfy. The following is not a paid ad. Lol. But it should be..
Other women: *buying thongs and lace undies* Me to store associate: " hey, so where are your most comfortable, cotton, boobie length, non-wedgie- giving, granny panties located in this facility?"
I feel like talking to anyone about this topic would make me uncomfortable, but watching this was the most comfortable it's gonna get when it comes to this subject
if it’s persistent go to a dermatologist! it’s your best bet. i had acne for 7 years and was eventually put on accutane. most people won’t need accutane but there’s a lot of topicals and other prescriptions that get rid of it right away!!
Is there a possible video coming up about healthy shaving vs waxing vs laser hair removal? Whenever I shave it doesn’t even matter what body part I get razor bumps/burn even if I exfoliate and soak in warm water and use soap or cream or whatever. It’s frustrating to always have bumps all over my legs and body
Noah Radojevich omg same! But only my armpits right now, I use a new razor, water and even the lotion shaving cream but always get bumps! For legs I always use coconut oil after soaking in warm water and that seems to be helping a lot!
try mens razors and conditioner as foam, my skin couldnt handle the soapy womens edition with 10 calming oils... they were irritating my skin even more.
Shaving against the grain (which can swirl folks!) irritates the skin. Short strokes. Avoid redoing the same area... I apply bar soap (and water), then do not dry or wash the soap off, and apply shaving creme over top. A double bladed razor pulled with the grain produces a clean shave. Rinse, and shave any stragglers. If I'm in a hurry, a dry shave will immediately produce razor burn.
Trousers initially were leg only - tied to a belt covering the leg down to the ankle. So you actually needed two pieces of clothing - one per leg. That's why we call it a pair of trousers.
Back in my army days during training we had a massive outbreak of intimate rashes. Speculation ran rampant. Living in close quarters had everyone thinking lice, then some other things...turns out using industrial laundry detergent on underwear- not so good.
I have changed from bikini to boxer briefs. I am very old and take a long time to adjust to anything. I freestyle anytime I can. Boxer briefs seem to offer the protection I need from chaffing during routine running, biking, hiking...
This was actually not a bad video! He’s so good at making things not awkward. One funny thing though (funny on my end.) was that when he asked if we knew what underwear we were wearing without looking I was like “lol none” because I was about to get in the shower!😂
Abigail Andrews uh, no? I just said I was about to get in the shower??? I’ll play random RU-vid videos before or while I shower because I have intrusive thoughts and it helps them get pushed to the back of my mind.
Abigail Andrews oh, well okay? I still said I was about to shower and you said I was just hanging around naked. Two very different things and yours makes me some creepy.
I have 14, it actually forces me to stay on top of laundry. As an aside, not being particularly affluent, the smaller number provides me the opportunity to buy better quality than I'd otherwise be able to afford.
i honestly wear jockstrap style underwear for multiple reasons. used to get a rash from any underwear i wore, i ended up making boxers out of pajama bottoms. due to an extreme pain condition i have it hurts too much to wear anything else, i actually went a long time not wearng any underwear before i found jockstrap style underwear, i only wear basketball shorts that only have a drawcord wasteband are absolutly giant on me and only just catch when i transfer from my wheelchair, i also have to cut the waistband on my jockstraps so that they are about a centimeter thick so that they cause a small enough amount of pain that my heavy pain medication can cover it. due to my wheelchair cushion being air filled and plastic and the fact that i have a high body temperature my butt sweats so much that regular underwear would be soaked through super quick
