This actually looks super comfortable

Climate change will eventually bring this back.

Thanks! I am working on worldbuilding a fantasy scenario that is mainly Greek/Roman style, and had already decided on toga-style fashion, but had no idea on matching underwear. This is a very interesting resource for me.

As a side note, togas are distinctly Roman (as thick semicircular cloth that's folded over/around a tunic) and the Romans actually disliked wearing them because they were uncomfortable and unbearably hot formal wear XD

The Greek exomis, a simpler and more comfortable garment that's worn on its own, is sometimes confused for a toga in popular culture.

Thanks for that keyword to look up!

Does it work if you have a penis?

According to the provided documentation, the subligaculum-underwear appears optimized for a default female architecture, and potentially FtM as well. I wonder if it also supports certain non-binary… Either way, male hardware support is not explicitly deprecated—just undocumented. Certain parts of the documentation seems to imply support whereas others contradict it.

So yes, you can compile it with male extensions, but expect some runtime warnings and potential clipping issues. Proceed with caution and maybe take a backup of your wardrobe before you start.

You know I really should have just tried praying to Isis first. Transition was expensive and such a pain in the ass. Though, being an ancient God, I imagine if you pray to Isis requesting a gender transition, she'll probably demand an offering or make you perform a feat so great in exchange that the savings and effort over regular transition just cancel out. Or she'll change your sex, but also turn you into a cow or bull for some reason, just to be dick.

Romans when potential female homosexuality: 😫

Romans when trans-boy-with-cis-girl relationship: 🥰

... the past is a funny place.

Iran is a modern version, sort of a fun house mirror of LGBT acceptance. They'll accept you if you're trans, but YOU DAMN WELL BETTER BE STRAIGHT!

New beachwear trend just dropped.

Seems annoying if you have to pee to undo it and then redo it.

That's probably why we switched to the current design

Ironically, it would actually be a lot easier to pee wearing this if you have a dick than if you don't as shown!

OK but how do I do the top
