Hi,

Welcome to HCM.
First of all it helps to maintain the social decency by not displaying embarrassing projection in the crotch area.
Secondly it absorbs the urine drops that may trickle down after passing urine.
Thirdly it helps to keep the area dry and thus preventing fungal infection.
Fourthly it is a social norm.
There may be many more reasons which I think you could figure out yourself.
I find this answer helpful
