Anybody else have dysphoria with male underwear other than boxers?

[maksim]

I'm the oddball in that boxers actually cause more dysphoria for me.

I'm a guy with insanely huge thighs and hips and a gigantic butt. Needless to say, passing is basically impossible with this build that T and weight loss have yet to help with. With boxers and even boxer briefs, if I buy the "correct" size, my thighs won't fit into them. And if they magically happen to work somehow, it's basically cutting off my circulation when I sit down. My thighs are THAT big. In order for my thighs to fit into the boxers/boxer briefs, I have to buy two sizes up, which leads to an insanely baggy crotch that hangs REALLY far down.
The way in which dysphoria comes from wearing these types of underwear is that fact that my thighs and hips and butt are so freaking huge that I actually can't wear them properly.

So instead, I wear briefs. They help hold my packer better anyway.

I used to feel the same way as you do about boxers, but I've found as I started passing better I became more confident in my underwear choices. In fact, lately I've been buying mostly briefs because they hold the EZP really well and I don't have to worry about my boxers riding up. I also really like boxer briefs for the colder weather and jockstraps when I go to the gym. For now just do what makes you comfortable, but maybe in the future you will feel differently about it.

You could also try some performance boxers. I have a few pairs of those and they tend to ride their way back down after you walk around in them for a while because the material slides more easily. American Eagle makes some nice ones but I'm sure other brands have similar things.

I chose boxer briefs for my first male underwear, and I like them. Generally I don't experience dysphoria with them unless (possible TMI) I have to keep them pulled up higher to keep a menstrual pad in place. :/ Then because it's directly against me I feel like I'm wearing "panties." Otherwise, there's a little extra space in there, and it helps me walk a bit differently and generally allows me to feel more confident. I imagine I wouldn't like briefs, but boxers might be nice.

I actually think my disphoria would be worse with boxers. I prefer boxer briefs or under armor. But I also don't like feeling like I have a ton of layers on.

Yeah, I also feel a lot better in boxers than other types of underwear. I wouldn't say that boxer briefs remind me of panties, per se, but the fabric touching certain spots is a reminder that my bits aren't how I'd like them to be. I also really like the fact that boxers help to hide stuff: curvy hips, lack of bulge, etc.

Unfortunately, I don't really have any tips for coping with different styles. I work in a field where a casual dress code is the norm, so I never have to deal with stuff like tight pants or tucking in shirts that makes boxers inconvenient.

I get dysphoria with all male style underwear, because the pouch/design reminds me what is missing. Packers do the same. I'll switch to men's underwear after m
eta.
