Nurses Men

Hey guys, i have my clinical next week. I need suggestions on what to wear for undergarments etc to keep modesty.

Srsly - I know it may seem counter-intuitive, but if you wear undergarments that are close to the color of your skin, they don't show through very much. So, if you're pasty white, the whiteys will work. Medium skin tones - go with beige or gray, etc. Obvs - smiley faces, Valentine prints & those special Santa boxers are not advisable.

We had to wear those dumb white pants in nursing school but I never thought about what kind or color of underwear. I guess I embarrassed myself and didn't even know it!!!

I'm thinking as a man, if you wore long underpants like the biker shorts style or boxers you would cover all your goods.

If a person has a brown complexion, black is the best color to wear under whites so no one can see the underwear through your pants.

May I suggest you invest in high quality scrubs... that are not going to see through to your drawers of choice?

Not sure if your school would allow this but I bought white pairs of Dickeys, those worker pants. I even got painter ones that had loops on the side, originally for brushes but I could hang my stethoscope through them. Never heard a word from any of my instructors and they're about as thick as a pair of jeans.
