Recently, a 28-year-old woman who is 7-8 months pregnant turned to the AITA subreddit to find out whether she was wrong to borrow her husband’s underwear.
In a post that has since been upvoted 13.9k times, the author StealerOfUnderwear wrote: “My belly has grown a lot and I find that most of my underwear is too small and cuts into my sides/bottom of my belly.” Moreover, after a while, she started getting a rash in the places where it was too tight, which may be the result of friction.
So one day, as the author was getting dressed, the idea came to her mind. “I figured I'd try on a pair of my husband's (29m) boxers,” she recounted. As innocent as it may sound, this later caused quite a conflict between the two because, well… apparently not all boxers are equally fine to borrow.

There’s no doubt that comfort is key during pregnancy. No wonder some women may find it when trying on their partner’s male underwear. But most women opt for specially designed maternity underwear that is designed to fit their growing bump, to stay in place better and make them feel more comfortable than standard underwear. With extra weight and increased hormones, many moms-to-be find that cotton underwear is more breathable; that includes organic cotton, bamboo and other soft-to-touch fibers and their blends.
The author also got involved in a discussion among the commentators
