Boxers. How Are They?

I've been wanting to try them for years, ever since I was like seven or so, however obviously I have yet to since I'm making this topic.

I've heard they're more comfy then panties. But how exactly are they? They seem pretty cool looking, a lot of different designs, and more comfy. They aren't waist driven like most feminine underwear.

I wear boxer-briefs and boxers, and I love 'em. I haven't worn "panties" since middle-school, but when I did, I was incessantly chafed. Boxers protect the inner thigh, they're looser, they don't have those heinously itchy tight leg holes... a big bonus for us more heavy-set guys. I've never worn female boxers, so I don't know what those are like.

Boxer briefs are great because like someone else said, there's no chafing involved as they cover your thighs. They're just all around really comfortable for wearing during the day and for sleeping. I don't know how male ones fit compared to female ones (I only wear male), but I'm guessing the female would be a better fit, just because there's room (and a flap) in the male ones for stuff we don't have lol.

lol. I think if you pack you're pretty much in the same position as any bioguy in terms of how the underwear fit. I prefer briefs and boxer briefs. They are the most comfortable for me. I haven't started packing yet and I don't have any issues with "extra room." I imagine when I start packing it won't make a difference.

But I'd only wear boxers with loose stuff like sweatpants because otherwise as has been said, they can get all bunched up. Also, if I am going to start packing, most of the time I would prefer wearing something that keeps things in place :P

As for female boxers... no idea, never tried 'em.

My boxer briefs are a good fit in the front. I err... kinda have a large pubic mound. No flaps in my undies either. :P I did use some female boxer briefs for a while, but didn't like them that much. (Way better than other female undies still)

What's the difference between female and male anyway? Size? Or maybe design?

Size and design. Boxers targeted at women have a shorter inseam and in addition to getting bunched up in tighter pants they also give more wedgies in all pants or when worn with nothing over them. Guys boxers are way more comfy. Ditto with the difference between boxer briefs for guys and girls. Girls kind= wedgies, guys kind= comfy

I wore pretty much only boxers for a long time. They're super comfy. The only downside is you really can't pack without using a harness. But boxer briefs are a bit more uncomfortable for me because I have big thighs, so the legs tend to roll up and get bunchy.

Never tried the female kind, so I couldn't make any comparisons for you.

I wear both boxers and boxer breifs. I've been wearing boxers for years, but I started wearing boxer breifs last year because like some people have stated, boxers can get bunched up when wearing tighter pants. Both are definitely more comfortable than female underware, though I really can't remember what they feel like. It's been so long. And I didn't even know there were was such a thing as female boxers!

I've worn female boxers once...hated them. I felt like a fraud. I've always hated female underwear for as long as I can remember too, so I just stopped wearing underwear in general a while ago. I really want to start again, but my mom is not cool with me wearing men's underwear. She's desperate for me to be her "little princess". It's gonna make coming out to her that much more awkward. Thank God my boyfriend lets me wear his underwear. It's kind of weird, but at least I feel more...manly. He wears mostly boxers, which are ok. Not a good fit for me though, they're too loose and my butt is too big and girly for them. He does wear some boxer briefs, and those are much more comfortable! Tight in all the places I need (OCD thing), and great for packing. I'm gonna find a way for my mom to be ok with me dressing more masculine so I can wear underwear again @_@.

I've been wearing boxers for a while now, and it's to the point where I can't really go back. They're loose and comfortable--more freeing than panties? I really can't remember, but I sort of thing the female kind just existed whereas boxers were just awesome from the get-go. I suppose I had a point of comparison. When I wore girl's stuff I thought, "Why do people debate over boxers or briefs? Why not BOXER-BREIFS?" Well, I bought some recently and while some might find 'em more comfortable I found them much more restrictive than briefs. They weren't uncomfortable, but they clung to my thighs so I could kind-of use them while packing. I don't generally get them because I'd rather deal with the possible bunching than feeling restricted and I can't really wear skinny jeans anyhow.

Never tried the girl's boxers, but I did have a pair with a fancy little place it opened in the front like a guys. I just sort of laughed at them for so long that I bought them when I was out with my friends. I just couldn't figure out what that hole was for on girly hybrid underwear.

Wearing right now :P

Comfy much?

I can see these not working for skinny jeans, but as long as the leg isn't bunched (not hard to fix) it's awesome

Girl boxers look so stupid.

I really need to get my mom to buy me boxers now..

But how, I have no idea.

Tell her they're pajamas. I know a lot of cis girls who wear boxers either as pajamas (even my mother does it!) or as a fashion thing - some kind of grunge style or something like that, I'm not sure.

But yeah, boxer briefs are more practical with STPs (tames the half-construction from the tubing) but they and regular boxers are both super comfy. I recommend them to everyone.

I hate boxers. It feels like I am practically wearing nothing at all under my jeans and that annoys me. I prefer boxer briefs, they are comfortable yet not loose.

My personal opinion is that overall all guys underwear is more comfortable. I seriously think that if women knew how comfy they were they would boycott womens underwear. I like boxer briefs the best, they are the most comfortable to wear with all types of clothes including shorts. I find boxers felt really odd when I was wearing shorts over them when working out because it felt like I had two pairs of shorts on because they were loose. For me boxer briefs work for all types of activities. That said I still keep some girls stuff for when I visit family or family visits me in case someone decides to do my laundry. I have never tried girls boxers but they all looked like they would be uncomfortable, plus they only come in feminine colors and patterns so I never considered getting any. Just my thoughts on the subject.

Before I started really transitioning, I tried female boxers. They fit and felt fine...for the first five minutes. After that, there was bunching and wedging and just being more annoying than anything. I'm not the kind of person to go around constantly adjusting myself in public, but with those things I was sorely tempted to, it happened to often.

Then I made the switch to male boxer-briefs. I admit to having a rather ridiculous moment of 'OMG THESE ARE SO COMFORTABLE!' when I tried a pair out. On the rare occasions since then that I've had to wear female underwear, I definitely noticed the differences in my comfort level. I also noticed areas of pinching and tightness with the female ones that I hadn't even noticed before and only became aware of because I'd gotten used to them not being there.

i've tried briefs, boxer briefs and boxers.. and i have to say, straight up boxers are the best.

      Well, for the purposes of this topic, I'll just say that I want a republic where Trump isn't the best we can hope for.    People where I live will vote for him no matter what, felony court cases or not, because we simply cannot stomach the alternatives.  We'd rather have Putin than Biden.  At least Putin, Orban, and Trump are nationalists (sort of), in spite of all the other bad stuff that goes along with that.  In my lifetime, he's the closest thing people here have had to a president they actually like.  That is the source of his support.  And it doesn't say much good about him, really, just bad about all the other choices.    So...what happens in November?  Will there even be an election?  If Trump becomes ineligible for office, who do the Republicans run?  Or maybe we just have an election with Libertarians vs Democrats?  Chase Oliver has some good things going...

      Hi, just thought I would say hello, I’m kind of new to all this, being in my mid 40s, have a wife and daughter and never questioned my gender till now.   This all start after a dream where I was stood I front of my family and friends wearing a bra the wonderful euphoric feeling I felt, felt real, I decided to buy one and try it and that euphoria was now really real and only confused me further, the bra I bought did not fit so I plucked up the courage to go to a shop and get properly fitted, wow what an experience I would recommend this to anyone, I walked out of the shop wearing my new bra with so much confidence.    I am extremely sensitive and empathetic to a point I know I have an inner her. I have always loved talking to women as I feel I am on the same level and sometimes I find it hard to open up to male friends, I have had body dystrophy but I don’t think it’s because I’m male and not female, I think it’s because I am just overweight, I am very muscular and have a lot of body hairy and a beard which I have no issue with.   i am very confused with the whole situation and maybe it would be easier just to take the view you were born male so your a man but that doesn’t seem right and my journey, which has only been a few months if I have gained anything it is an utmost respect for anyone who has even asked the question who or what am I.   every answer I get just brings more questions    sorry that was a bit more than just a hello!!

      I am a bit discouraged these days.  But It does seem to me that our problems can only be addressed when we learn how to work together, and yeah that does mean on a global scale.   Unfortunately it seems to be the case that too many are still only in it for themselves, trying to accumulate personal wealth and power.   Local cooperation is good, and it doesn't seem impossible for it to be had on a wider scale if we can have some respect for each other.  But we seem to be too interested in preserving our local turfs.  A prime example is our current all or nothing politics. We are prioritizing competition over cooperation. I've grown cynical, unfortunately.  I fear we are going to destroy our selves.  Perhaps the future generations will do better.  One can hope.

      They start you off with a low dose to see how the body reacts. It takes time for any results to actually take effect. There might be a placebo effect for now. Trust the process and know it’s not a sprint it’s an endurance. I would ask the NP to see about patches, gel or injections. The pill has known to be worse in the side effects. In my first year I have gained some breast growth. I started as a 42C and now a 42 DD but it’s also probably because I’m big. Weight loss for me is almost impossible. If I could get off my gut and go to hips and breast I wouldn’t mind. Enjoy and congratulations on the start of your new life.

      Yes, I'm one of the Baby Boomer generation you speak of.  I am proud of the "globalists" of the past, who accomplished things like the Marshall Plan, the creation of NATO, the efforts to bring peace to places like Kosovo and the efforts to fight the Taliban and free Qatar from Iraqi aggression, as well as the coordinated efforts in space exploration, and fighting worldwide hunger and disease, including Covid.   There were many, many mistakes made as well, and all my Boomer friends and relatives regret those.  But I don't believe for a minute that the U.S. would be better off isolating itself and turning back the clock 100 or 150 years.  Those were NOT the "good old days" for most people.   I'm not sure what kind of "new republic" you are hoping for.  But based on your prior statements about the world you desire, it is not a republic I wish to live in.  Isolationism is not the panacea you think it will be, @awkward-yet-sweet.  I'll leave it at that.   Carolyn Marie

      Wow, that is a sad story. I am so sorry you had to endure that as a child. As the others have said, yes, you can quite easily be trans and asexual, and many people are. Being trans is not a sexuality, and any suggestions to the contrary are considered fringe beliefs nowadays. Having said that, you would not necessarily “be classed as trans for liking to dress up in lingerie occasionally “. You may well be trans, but a habit of crossdressing now and then doesn’t necessarily make you so; the question of transness goes deeper than that. As the others have said, a good therapist (one who practices the gender affirming model and not so-called “exploratory therapy”AKA conversion therapy) can help you discover the true nature of your gender identity. Only you can know what this is, but it can take the right questions to uncover it.    Just to be clear, studies suggest that many if not most trans women have been sexually aroused by crossdressing at one time or another, usually pre-transition, but that does not mean they have a fetish. Studies also suggest — as do my cis girlfriends — that many cis women have been aroused by wearing certain clothes too. To me it makes perfect sense that this arousal might be greater in certain pre-transition trans women, due to both (a) the stigma attached to their so-called crossdressing, and (b) how rarely they get to glimpse themselves as women. Added to which, I hear that many bi/lesbian cis women are turned on by their own reflections (Billie Eilish is the latest to admit it), so why shouldn’t bi/lesbian trans women be too?

      I can give myself a sorta Byline on this one since I was there.   The Los Angeles City Council had its annual session where they recognize and declare June as Pride Month in the city today and The Trans Chorus of Los Angeles was both invited to perform for the council and received an official recognition for its service to the community.     Along with TCLA, a Trans Mariachi Orchestra by the name of Mariachis Arcoiris De Los Angeles  was also honored and did a variety of their musical numbers. Four other Trans community activists and the Connie Norman Center For Transgender Empowerment which is also active in the city through a number of Trans Health organizations and other services to the Trans Latine community and others for our Asian and Pacific Islander populations as well.  Along with some darn big poster sized certificates that were done by the L.A. City Calligraphy department, we also had a good catered lunch which was a combination of cultural foods of the recipients.    The only downside to the day was a group of people protesting a problem with the Los Angeles City Board Of Education which is not even in the City Hall there.  They were noisy but did not interfere or for that matter have any problems with the pride flagged luncheon going on the City Hall forecourt.

      I do like the idea of one quick shock.  Maybe with the rest of my social circle when I feel comfortable.  I am just not a very social person, lol.  Thank you for your input, it is helpful
