Title: What kind of underwear?
Post by: Chino on January 04, 2016, 06:17:47 AM
This applies to the guys of DTF, but if the women have any insight, feel free to chime in. What kind of underwear does the best job of not crushing your scrotum? I typically wear boxers and this has never been an issue, but lately I've had some pain down in that region and sitting at my desk is quite painful. I'm open to all suggestions.

Never had any issues, but I'm also skinny as hell, so that probably makes a difference.

As in both at the same time??? WTF?

As for me it's either or neither depending on how I feel.

I use boxers, some of them are tighter than others but lately whenever I purchase them I try to make sure they're neither too tight or too loose.

You should contemplate the possibility of asking a doctor if maybe the boxers are not the problem  ;)

Appointment is scheduled and I'm not implying the boxers are causing the pain. That being said, they sure don't help matters any by squeezing my nuts.

That picture pretty much sums it up, but ultimately Boxer-briefs are just that, a combination of the two underwear styles. Form fitting like briefs, but longer down the leg like a pair of boxers.

What Metty posted. The beautiful fusion of briefs and boxers.

I always felt like a complete douchefuck wearing whitey tideys even as a kid and when I was old enough to care about girls they started doing that shit where I'd shift while sitting down or getting up or lying down and they'd give my gonads a pinch and then my day was ruined (or at least a part of it, depending on the severity of the FUCKING LOBSTER-LIKE VICE GRIP). Then boxers made me feel like I was wearing shorts underneath my shorts/pants and get all scrunched up.

Then these wonderful things came along and changed my life.

I have three kilts in my wardrobe. If I could (without people thinking I was more disturbed than they do already) I'd wear a kilt every day. Most liberating (on so many levels) piece of clothing I've ever worn. I love wearing a kilt. And no, I don't normally go commando, though I have.

I would too probably. It sucks when society's expectations get in the way of simple things, like comfort.

I also have a kilt. I've taken flack from my boss for wearing a flannel jacket into the office. Something tells me that sitting in a meeting room while wearing a kilt won't go over too well.

Also, in the event anyone was thinking about my balls, I got them checked this morning. The doctor (male) was very thorough. All seems good down there and the pain is being caused by back and sciatica related issues.

I too wear the boxer briefs. As has been mentioned before, boxer shorts feel like you're wearing a pair of shorts under your pants, and personally all the boxers I've had had a seam running down the middle, and then as the day goes on the seam goes up and forces the boys apart in a most uncomfortable fashion.

Boxers.

I have a T.M.I. question. Even with my switch more than half my life ago, I have some itching from time to time. I always thought the sitcom jokes were true about "jock itch" being with briefs, but based on my experience no. Am I alone here, with a bigger medial issue?

Boxers. I have boxer-briefs, but they are in the back of the drawer and only come out if I am behind on my laundry.

I didn't want to start a new thread, but a survey was just released on how almost 50% of Americans wear the same underwear for more than a day, and 13% wear the same underwear for a week or more.

https://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/ny-change-underwear-tommyjohn-survey-20190815-2jmi33jahvbi3eytrtpfydzxqm-story.html

I know this is not a really good "study" since it was only 1000 people surveyed and it doesn't specify location or anything, but interesting nonetheless.

I guess I'm the weird one here, I wear white briefs, although they're not tight.  I hate the feeling of anything on the top part of my legs other than outerwear, especially on hot California days.  I don't need the extra layer.

I work a job where I sweat a lot. I cannot imagine going to work in tighty whiteys. First, your junk's all bunched up and can't breathe. Second, that smell at the end of the day as you peel that vile, moist cloth that's been hugging your junk and farts all day. Plus I have massive legs. Gotta be able to move. Boxers are f'ing awesome and super comfortable.

I've worn boxers for as long as I can remember. I did try tighty whities one single time when I was a teenager and it was the last time. I could barely get through one day. There were so maddeningly uncomfortable and I was always aware of them. Maybe if I wore them from day one, it would be different, but it was definitely not happening.

Even having wear speedos on the swim team sucked, so really boxers have been the only thing I can deal with.

I can't understand boxers...but for a completely different reason. 

I wear my pants fairly tight.   Not skin tight, but fairly tight.   I suppose it's because I know I've got "America's Ass" and why on earth would I hide that.    And baggy pants just look like you've **** your drawers anyway, and I don't want to look like that.   

So boxers just bunch up and make me look like I'm smuggling something.   I want something that hugs me in slightly better than that.

I go hybrid.  Tight enough so that I'm not flippin or floppin; extended thigh coverage is necessary though.  As a kid (with tighty-whitey's) I was constantly fighting 'hungry-bum'.  Not much worse than being in high-school, and routinely picking at your ass.

Boxers or boxer-briefs, the boxers have more room but the boxer-briefs are a bit more comfortable.  It's kind of whatever I just grab  from my drawer though.  And I change them, every single day.  That's nasty if you don't.

I wear boxerbriefs but they're not cotton, they're "microfiber" (polyester/lycra/spandex) which is what athletic shirts are made from, so they breathe beautifully (cotton does not breathe, despite what popular opinion may have you believe, because why do all athletes not wear cotton if it's so great?, plus I know what I'm talking about regarding athletic clothing) and feel nice and silky.  They also last way longer than cotton so even though they cost more they're a better value in the long run.
