Depends on the weather…you know…the humidity index.
Briefs are too constricting, I would think the bigger you are the more constricting they are. If I get “excited”, it winds up sticking out of my waistband, that’s uncomfortable.
Boxer-briefs. Boxers tend to bunch up in between my balls and leg, on my gooch, and get sweaty down my ass crack. This leads to a hell of a lot of chafing, and briefs are for little boys and old men!
Boxer briefs stay put and don’t look odd, so it’s all good.
(if you don’t think briefs are bad, just wondering - do you wear Speedo’s at the beach/pool?)
Boxers for a very long time, now. I switched when I was still in the military. I used to wear briefs, but the elastic chafed too much, what with all the marching and bullshit.
Boxer-briefs almost exclusively. A few pairs of briefs for middle of summer heat, and a couple pairs of boxers that I wore while recovering from some below the waist surgery (but I really don’t care for them).
My choice too. Perhaps their increasing scarcity is a result of America’s increasing obesity. In any case regular briefs are a second choice, boxers never.
Off-topic: when I was young and read British books which described someone as “spotty”, this is what I pictured.
Somewhat on topic… I’m female, and wear what could be considered a female version of boxer-briefs. They’re cotton knit, and have actual legs on them. I used to sneer at such things, but I’ve found that they’re excellent for preventing heat rash in the area where my legs join my crotch, and if I do develop heat rash, then the boxers don’t aggravate the rash. I imagine that men would find the same thing applies to them.
Also, men look best in boxer-briefs, IMO. Not that I encounter a lot of men IRL in boxer-briefs, but a careful study of the literature has helped me to form an opinion on this subject.
boxer-briefs or boxers.
Boxers
They can take our lives, but they can’t take our freedom!!! 
Please, please tell me who makes these and where I can buy them. I’ve been looking for exactly that for some time now.
Briefs. I’m a creature of habit and have worn them all my life. I’ve never worn a pair of boxers, and can’t imagine my junk constantly sliding around. I need the support - I fear that if I wore boxers, I’d sit down and wind up crushing a testicle. The only exception to briefs is the jock straps I bought for exercise.
I started wearing boxers when we had kids, and it was apparent that I’d be up and wandering about the house a good bit during the night. A bit more dignified.
Really those are trunks, not boxer briefs. Boxer briefs have longer legs.
I wear low rise briefs.
Funny, I get bunched nuts and underwear up my ass when I wear briefs. No flopping though, I have to give you that.
I dunno why, actually. When I was a kid I did briefs. Then I switched in high school to boxers. I only wore a jock for sports. Then in college, I realized that I only needed that kind of support for competition. And I was a wrestler
For me, I think it’s similar to when as a kid you don’t have as much control over your body, so you end up hitting your funny bone from time to time and getting whacked in the balls. I can’t remember when either of those things happened to me last. Likewise, I haven’t needed the support from briefs since then, either.
I get them from either Woman Within (they carry sizes 7-15 in that style) or Roaman’s (same product, really) online. Both brands have a few longleg panty choices, that’s just the style that I buy. And the panties are on sale right now, so if Santa is looking to buy you some undies for Xmas…
:eek: OLD LADY PANTIES! :eek: OLD LADY PANTIES! :eek: OLD LADY PANTIES! :eek:
No, THESE are old lady panties. Notice that the leg of the panty doesn’t fit snugly against the leg of the wearer, as the first pair does. For even more horror, I offer the Granny Girdle, with the split crotch (which is laughable, I don’t know anyone who can pee through a split crotch, though I know several women who TRY…and fail) and the detachable garters.
If you give me the eek face again, I shall be forced to show you some truly frightening photos and illustrations of women’s clothing. I HAVE THE MUSEUM OF MENSTRUATION BOOKMARKED, and I’m not afraid to use it.
Some of us aren’t big enough to flop.
Did I just say that out loud?
You know this why?!
Surely there must be a board rule against issuing this kind of threat.
