National Underwear Day 2025
 |
I would wear boxers but they can't wrangle my package satisfactorily and I sometimes end up on display at the most inopportune moments.
It really doesn't matter what kind of underwear you don in this day and age.
I have a number of friends who prefer to go 'commando' and just omit the underwear altogether.
I'm afraid that the textile underlayment is a bit more important to me personally.
Be all of this as it may today is National Underwear Day.
It goes down each August fifth and promotes the wearing of undergarments in the name of comfort and utility.
My mom was one to admonish me to ensure I was in clean underwear in case I ended up unconscious on a hospital gurney somewhere.
Underwear is that clothing closest to the body and it protects us from sweat, excessive cold, and chafing caused by outer layer clothing rubbing against those soft areas beneath.
Another strong point for wearing underwear relates to support issues and body shaping — although I must admit this has never been a personal concern.
So regardless of what you wear — today is the day to recognize the lowly underwear many of us don as another layer in the uniform of the day.
