WHEN DID UNDERWEAR BECOME SO COMPLICATED?: I recently went shopping for a few things for my boy, Mookie, one of which was underwear. When did underwear become so complicated? There were ... Briefs
Boxers
Boxer-Briefs
Trunks
Thongs

Made of ...

Woven cotton
Knit cotton
Lycra
Spandex
"Microfiber" synthetics

In high-rise, mid-rise or low-rise in your choice of a zillion colors and patterns. It's enough to make your head spin.

Underwear used to be simple back in the day. It went like this: diapers, Underoos, then Tighty-whiteys 'til your death.

Why does everything have to be so complicated these days?
