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.

      The age thing applies to both of them, and I say this as someone in my own mid 70's. As for being "businessmen," I don't consider the government to be a business.  That might be part of our problem now.  But this might not be the place to open that can of worms. I would like to be able to keep my personal freedom to live as myself, and the social security that I worked most of my life for.

      Although the right to care has been affirmed, I still find it disheartening that so many of the treatments that are available and beneficial to someone who is trans, is consequently barred by insurance companies who claim that anything beyond HRT and vaginoplasty, are cosmetic. I believe that any procedure that can help to make one passable as their desired gender, has the potential to be lifesaving. Is being able to just blend in as our desired gender so abhorrent to the insurance companies?    I also believe that the transgender communities are taken advantage of in many ways. Look at the number of healthcare providers who will provide care, but want up front payment, which in many cases, is way above what an insurance company will pay. It is very expensive paying out of pocket, yet many of us become so desperate to transition that we just pony up the money.

      The only thing good about Trump, he's a businessman, but as for leadership to be the president of the entire   United States.. ahh nope lol, there's no telling how many secrets he blabbed to foreign countries when he was in office, anyway he's too old to be in office.

      Oh, my! It seems as if I have been gone for so long. And, interacting with you all has been such an important part of gaining an understanding of who I am this past year.    My wife’s mother passed away this week. She was in her late 90s but has been in relative good health. Until the past month. We brought in hospice last week when she began to sleep most of the day and began to become restless and uncomfortable. She passed in her sleep on Monday.   As you might imagine, it’s been a whirlwind of coordinating burial arrangements with family, the unreal home, the church and the venue for a lunch after mass.   We have a place here on our property where we place the ashes of family members so we will place her alongside her husband next Saturday.   Of course, our new puppy adds to the strain of time. She is a joy but also a typical Lab with lots of energy. She’s 11 weeks old and already 21 pounds.    I will I’ll find my way back here more as things settle down.   I miss you all!

      Good morning everyone,    The coffee is brewing, after Parker has been walked and taken care of his business. Changing my morning routine, because he’s a puppy and as soon as he’s out of the crate there’s no stopping before he needs to be outside for a few minutes. Once coffee is poured we sit on the porch swing and enjoy the morning song birds.    Happy Pride Month     Mindy🌈🏳️‍⚧️🐛🦋
