> In general I prefer not to wear underwear when getting wet - especially when wearing close-fitting denim. I discovered this in my early teens, originally with cutoffs, and it still works for me. (In recent years I've mostly worn tight jeans without underwear even when staying dry - I can say I'm always ready to get wet!) But when I've had to wear "approved" swimshorts at an indoor pool, I've found it best to wear either cycle shorts or boxerbriefs underneath so as to feel more "clothed".

> I don't intentionally show off my underwear or absence of it, wet or dry. It's not important to me whether I'm "fully clothed" when I get wet, just that I'm wearing clothes which feel good.

> To follow Mike Lotheson's list:
> Formal trousers - rarely worn since I left school, and never tried in water (not sure why not). I currently don't have any in good condition which fit me, so N/A at present. If I get ones which fit snugly and comfortably I'll definitely want to try them on their own in water.
> Jeans - no. My early wading in long jeans was with briefs under, but I soon found I enjoy getting wet in jeans best without underwear.
> Sweatpants, also tracksuit bottoms - never worn them, I'd like to say "no" but think I might need something under, maybe compression shorts?
> Shorts - depends on what kind:
> Cutoffs (from old jeans) - always no. I decided this at age 14 after my first "all the way" experience in tight cutoffs worn alone as beach swimwear. Although I'm not often seen to wear them I still love them, sometimes sleep in them, and occasionally wear cutoffs as denim underwear.
> Lined shorts ("approved" swimwear, some sportswear, most board shorts) - yes. I don't like "inner brief" liners and have preferred to wear underpants inside the lining, although compression shorts are good too. I can cut out the lining but I'm not confident about wearing nothing under the loose outer layer.
> Loose unlined shorts (some sportswear, some board shorts) - not worn lately. I'd like to say "no", but I had problems in my teens with visible "tenting" as well as with some shorts going translucent when wet, so it's safer to wear a closer-fitting layer underneath - it needn't be conventional underwear though.
> Tight sportswear such as running tights (which I swim in at a local pool) - no. (Unless they weren't decent enough, then I'd wear similar tight shorts under or over, or looser shorts on top as runners often do, but not underwear as such.)
> Tight swimming trunks (Speedo-style swimbriefs with a front lining) - no. I find the front lining uncomfortable and I remove it, but I'd never wear underpants under tight trunks, one layer is still enough - except of course that I'd rather wear clothes which cover much more of my body.
