Do you wear underwear with swim trunks?
Usually, people don’t wear anything under swim trunks. It depends on the situation and personal preference. Some may choose to wear underwear underneath, but it’s all about what feels right for you.
The netting inside swim trunks can be confusing for some people who wonder if they should wear underwear beneath them. Actually, it’s an open question and entirely depends on personal preference.
Should you wear underwear with swim trunks?
Swim trunks’ netting keeps people safe, stops sand, and helps water drain fast. In this post, we’ve clarified the purpose of nettings in swim trunks. As you can see, the original intention of swimming trunks is to remove the need for underwear, as these nettings already fulfill that role.
If you wear underwear with swim trunks, after swimming, you might notice your underwear stays wet. Swim trunks dry fast because they are usually made of quick-dry polyester fabric, as explained in this post. However, underwear might not dry as quickly, causing a bit of discomfort. Also, wet underwear may not be good for your health because it can easily lead to the growth of bacteria.
But if you can’t stand not wearing underwear, our suggestion is to cut out the inner mesh from the swim trunks. This way, you can enjoy a more comfortable experience. This demand is not uncommon, and we have been producing beach shorts without nettings in recent years.
When are you supposed to wear underwear with swim trunks?
Swim trunks are super versatile. You can rock them in various situations. For instance, wearing them as regular clothes for a stroll or shopping is a cool idea, especially if you pair them with underwear.
But when you’re hitting the beach or pool, it’s all up to your preference on whether to wear underwear or not. Going commando in swim trunks is common, and throwing on underwear under them is totally fine too—it’s all about personal preference.
