| | | Swiss army women to get women's underwear
"Switzerland is to allow female members of the army to wear women's underwear for the first time in an effort to boost recruitment, local media report.
Under the current system, the standard uniform issued to military recruits includes only men's underwear." https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-56581129 |

I’ve been reading this today. Do you think they mean base layers and thermals? Surely women weren’t stopped from wearing their own bra and knickers??  |

| | | | Re: Swiss army women to get women's underwear
From this quote it sounds like they're only talking about underpants, perhaps confused in translation by the American terminology where that's the more normal use of the word 'underwear'. | Quote: |  | | | He told Swiss news website Watson that the new "functional underwear" for female recruits would consist of "short underwear" for the summer and "long underwear" for the winter. | | | | | Clearly only talking about below the waist garments, which were apparently | Quote: | | | | loose-fitting men's underwear, often in larger sizes, which can be uncomfortable. | | | | | so presumably they were only issued with boxer shorts.
Would this actually have been enforced though? Surely they wouldm't stop women, or men, for that matter, wearing whatever type of underwear they're most comfortable with, even if they had to supply it themselves?

Did they mean thermal stuff? Long-jones? I sometimes wonder about Mormon undies. Loosey goosey.

These female (Israeli) soldiers do not appear to be wearing mens' underwear unless, that is, fashions in the services have changed recently. https://static.timesofisrael.com/www...9.51.55-PM.png

There appears to be an extra leg in that picture, not that most males would notice.
