Had always been a boxers enjoyer, until a friend made a devastating insult:

“You wear boxers? What are you, like 80 years old?”

Completely bodied and no way to recover. So I decided to try out boxer briefs. I always hated that constricting feeling on my thighs, so I avoided them. Decided to buy a slightly loose, larger size and I’m liking it.

I did this and then about two years later I switched to regular briefs then women's underwear and now I've been on HRT for 3 years. Just a heads up

Beware the pipeline meme

I wore briefs my whole life, switched to boxers for a bit, then I hated it so much I went to women's underwear

[–] AlpineSteakHouse@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago

Boxers suck dick.

Even briefs are better. Boxers always bunch up which is 100x more uncomfortable that any constriction from briefs/boxer-briefs. Boxer chaffing is hell on earth and that alone should disqualify them.

You'll come back. They always do.

Ever since I got a pair of boxer briefs in middle school, they have been my mainstay

Save for the times I've worn bikini briefs to feel pretty

>not wearing bikini briefs

I've been a boxer briefs head since I was in my early 20's or so. Never liked boxers because they were too baggy and tighty whites would ride up my ass crack. Enter the boxer brief, the technological breakthrough which marries both for the ultimate in comfort. Anyway, what size do you take?

[–] star_wraith@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

Large. I don’t know if a medium is technically the size I should have, I don’t know how exactly they are supposed to fit. A large on me doesn’t feel like it’s too tight so it’s what I’m going with.

Honestly one real reason I switched was the problem of boxers bunching up when I wear jeans. That was always a problem but I had been wearing pretty baggy jeans until recently.

[–] regul@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

honestly I've been wearing boxer briefs for a while and if they're not tight enough it sucks because your balls stick to your legs. I have no clue how boxers people deal with that.

I'm sort of considering briefs again because of it

or maybe those boxer briefs that have the pouch? that's probably the way to go

[–] LeylaLove@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I have an annoyingly large dick and agree with you 100 percent. The pouches are pretty fucking great, I strongly recommend those.

I'm trans and a few people who had seen some racy pictures of me before I came out asked how the fuck I was wearing panties, when honestly it was more physically comfortable that way. Like where the fuck are you even supposed to put it? Maybe it's just because I'm trans and kinda don't like my genitals, but a lot of men's underwear just feels like it's not actually designed for anybody.

[–] JuryNullification@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago

Men’s underwear isn’t designed for penises and it’s so annoying. Like, my genitals have to go somewhere, your flat fabric doesn’t help.

[–] sharkfucker420@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

I've never used anything other than boxer briefs

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No questions, welcome aboard!

[–] Tunnelvision@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago

Nothing wrong with boxers. I have a lot of boxer briefs but honestly when it’s hot at night the extra airflow from boxers is nice as fuck. I’m also someone who hates restricted thighs though. Also you definitely should have told them you need the extra room for your phat cock. The opportunity was right there.

[–] Abracadaniel@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago

Always wore briefs, trying boxers. Still undecided.

[–] JuryNullification@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago

The worst part of boxers is when they ride up and give you a huge wedgie, aka the boxer thing. If I wanted that I’d wear a thong (nothing wrong with that, I have some). Boxer briefs prevent that very effectively, which is what got me to switch like 15 years ago. I had some really nice ones from Jockey that fit perfectly but then they changed the design and idk where to buy new ones that fit as well.

[–] MaxOS@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I switched from boxer briefs to briefs like 5 years ago and never looked back

[–] Feinsteins_Ghost@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I go commando and let it all hang where it may.

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago

Same. Hell, I resent that it's a considered proper form to wear shoes.

[–] doublenut@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Have you considered neither?
