side sleeper - need advice (awkward post)

Post by fmj13 » Fri Sep 04, 2015 4:41 pm

When I am sleeping, sometimes my boxers will bunch up in my butt. It drives me crazy and makes it hard to go back to sleep. Any advice?

To me, the obvious answer is.........Don't wear them.

    Maybe something silk-like......nylon, rayon or that type of slick material.

    Wear thongs, that way......it'll already be where it wants to be from the start. The feet on Doctor Dentons might also be a solution to ride-up discomfort.

      I'm not unsure of my male gender. I know that sleeping without pants doesn't work for me from experience.

      I'd have to say that this is one of the dumbest posts I've seen since I have been on this board

      Using that kind has the added advantage of not needing washing as much, just shake them out. Jim

      I am an apnea sufferer and this is the only sleep forum I post on.

      You are welcome here but, ask questions about sleep apnea...not underwear discomfort

      this isn't a sleep forum, it's a CPAP forum.

      this isn't a sleep forum, it's a CPAP forum.
      It is silly to think you can only post specifically CPAP problems here.
