He's potty trained as long as I let him go around the house naked. He hates underware everytime I try to make him wear them he pee's as soon as their on. I've tried boxer and breifs and even let him go to the store to pick out which one's he wanted. Nothings worked yet. I know he's ready he can't stand to wear diapers if their even a little wet. He just has something against underware.

If there's something he really wants, like say he wants to go to school, explain that he has to go in the potty because nobody there wants to clean up after him. And until he goes ONLY in the potty, well ... he's going to miss out on some things. Fun things. Connect everything good with pottying and everything bad with not being potty trained.
Sometimes simple rewards like stickers don't work. My nephew, for example, was dying to go to school so that was the ticket for him. He wasn't worried about stickers or candy at all.
Has he seen a doctor? Maybe the feeling of the fabric makes him want to pee. His skin might be overly sensitive. I don't know if there's anything you can do about that, but it's worth asking a doctor about.
If that still doesn't work, I really don't know. It sounds cruel to say this, but as a last resort ... he can't stand to wear them after he pees in them? Too bad. Make him wear them. You'll have a day from hell, but maybe it would drive home that big people wear UNDERWEAR and they don't PEE in it. Don't allow him to do that and get away with it. Deal with it for a day or two and see if it does some good. Like I said, last resort.
Good luck! It sounds like you need it!

haha - having 4 boys all go through the potty trainning age i know what your going through.
tell him big boys wear underwear, and grown up boys wear underwear and only babys wear diapers or run around naked. show him how you and daddy all wear underwear too because your grown up (who said parenting was an easy job?)
buy underwear that is designed for kids, like ones with cartoon characters on them, find out who your sons favorite cartoon character is and buy underwear with that character on it. try buying him simular underwear to what dad wears, dads are a big role model for their boys and if he sees dad wearing underwear and you give him a simular pair he may well copy dad and wear them, but he has to see dad wearing them, thats the bad news (for dad, but i am sure you will have a giggle or two out of it)
try a sticker chart, everyday he wears underwear he gets a star, if he gets 7 stars (a full week) he earns a sweet, if he doesnt he gets a red dot and if he gets a full week of red dots he gets one of his favorite toys taken away from him for a week.
try those first, if after a month or two its still not having any effect atall (exspect slow progress) start forceing them on him, and then punishing him with corner time or the naughty step or even a swat to his rump everytime he takes them off, its an extreme measure and not as nice as the other 3 but it will work if all else doesnt.
ok so you have got him in underwear, now to tackle the peeing thing tell him if he pees in his underwear you will put him right back in diapers, or pullups or whatever he used to wear, tell him he has the choice of underwear or the diapers, but if he wants to be a baby and pee in his underpants then he will have to wear diapers (you must let him know the "like a baby" part, this will incorage him not to do it as he will want to be a big boy). if your son realy cant stand to wear diapers even when their a little bit wet like you say this wont last long and soon he will learn that wetting his underpants (on purpose) will get him back in diapers then he will change his habbits.

Get a jar and tell him that every time he attempts that he can positioned a marble or perhaps if that into the jar and every time he makes use of the rest room he can positioned 2 marbles for #a million and three for #2. Then tell him that once the jar is finished that he can p.c.. something that he quite needs to do... a celebration, going to chuck e cheese, get a sparkling toy, even if that that is that you imagine that he might want to easily LOVE! I used this technique alongside with eliminating diapers, pull united statesthoroughly (no longer even at mattress time) with all 4 of my little ones and it labored, the first week is not undemanding. For you, your husband and your new child yet after that first week it's going to get extra efficient. the terrific prognosis is to really get excited at the same time as he does use the potty and at the same time as he has an "coincidence" to no longer make a huge deal about it and characteristic him help with the mess. he will study quick that it is not any relaxing and he's not any longer getting an strengthen out of you or your husband. purely keep reiterating to him each of the rewards for utilising the potty. he will come round. i quite wish this facilitates:) reliable luck & suited desires!

I hate to tell you this, but you have to be firm with him. You're the boss and he needs to know that. I know this doesn't solve your problem so try to take things away from him and tell him he can get it back if he wears underwear. I had the problem with my son too, in the summer he would take his underwear/bathing suit off in the back yard and throw it over the low fence into the neighbours yard. I always had to go and pick them off the flowers. On top of that, my neighbour was an old prissy never been married old maid and she was embarrassed by my three year olds penis. She threatened even to call the police, duh. So, I got really upset with him one day and told him no more toys, no ice cream, no chocolate, nothing that he liked and I stuck to it. He got angry and screamed, I ignored it. This went on for 2 days while I watched him like a hawk. Every time he started to pull them down, I pulled them back up. He caved. And that was the end of no underwear.

Tell him "Big Boys" wear underwear. Ask older boy children in your family to show him that they wear underwear. If he thinks he's being a big boy he might like the idea better.

He can only pee so many times. If you put a pair on and he wets them, put a new pair on, over an over til he runs out of urine. You have to outlast the kid.

I don't usually suggest this, but reward him with little prizes or stickers if he wears his undies without wetting them.

Tell him if he wears underwear you can go to his favorite place. If not, he has to stay home.
