That is very true. Very very true. Why, in the good old days you could get spectacularly good boxers from M&S in three-packs that eschewed the dreaded button. Alas, some friggin' eejit, presumably either a man in possession of a micropenis or a woman) decided that a silly button should be installed in entirely and precisely the wrong position. In the interim, until some real-man underpant designer sees the light, I suggest the following. Obtain a pack or two of Asda's five-pairs-for-eight-quid jobs, and snip off the buttons. Immediately. In an emergency (let's suppose, for example, that you have just accidentally shat yourself but are within reach of an Asda but have no scissors about your person), buy a pack, put on a pair in the Asda lavatorium (after a little clean-up, naturally, but don't overdo it) but make sure the button is undone. You'll get by until you get home. It's entirely a matter for you whether you decide that I'm speaking from experience or not.
