You want some TMI?
No matter how well ventilated a kitchen is, it's always going to be a hot, humid environment. And that causes personal issues for anyone that spends time behind the line. How so? Well, let's think. What grows in hot, humid environments?How about mold, fungus and yeast?
That's right. Besides trying to hold down dozens of tickets running at once, cooking your ass off, you've also got the ever looming specter of jock itch. It's not a pretty thing (or a pleasant thing) ... and besides, who wants to explain the smell to a potential hookup? Or have them wander across medication for a yeast infection when they rummage through your medicine cabinet (I don't trust anyone to do not do this)? Yeah, fun.
In some places, cooks deal with this by keeping corn starch in their reach in ... any time they feel like they need a bit of cool relief, they reach into the low boy, grab a bit of cold corn starch, and, as the fuzzy ewok would say, "Bam!" (Note: I do not have cornstarch in my reach in)
In reality, prevention is the best medicine. That means no briefs or boxer-briefs. Instead, you've got two options for undergarments: boxers or none at all.
Me? I go commando. Saves me the trouble of having to do a load of underwear in the wash.

Gold Bond powder...bleach...it's all good. ;-)
Unfortunately, Gold Bond is not really a preventative measure ... but it does work relatively well after irritation occurs.
