    underwear prolongs the time clothes can be worn without washing.

    1. Hygiene. To absorb body sweat, odor and other secretions like that from private parts to the outer wear.

    2. To have a better feeling than when the skin gets in touch with the outer garment which is often uncomfortable to wear without an underwear.

    3. Sometimes to show off the elastic or strap in a seductive way to the opposite sex as a fashion ;-)

    4. Also, taking off an underwear slowly in front of the mate gives a 'great show'..! and of course.

    5. To keep the underwear manufacturing companies in business .. lol.

    because it's easier to wash underwear after each wearing, than it is to wash your jeans or pants after each wearing...that's my guess...

    well...your underwear are smaller than your jeans, and take up less room in the washer, don't they?

    To keep your outer wear from becoming stained by your bodily excretions. In the winter time, you wear extra layers to provide warmth.

    I'm thinking that there are many who agree with you. Personally, I don't feel that I am planning to excrete that much bodily fluid. A bit of sweat and such is all I am concerned about. Also, I was talking about the clothes we wear under our tops, as well. Diapers would look ridiculous worn under our shirts.

    Besides society's standards telling us, there is now a health factor with it. Were so used to it, that if we went months without wearing any the lack of "protection" it gives to outside bacteria and germs then we'd more easily get infections and such.
