Title: Clothes
Post by: Xirafel on October 28, 2016, 07:34:28 PM
Hm, oddly enough, the female clothes are fine or only have slight irritation, while I feel really, really itchy with the male clothes after shaving the hair off. So, I just wear the female ones all the time, except when going out, and they're less ugly too.

I wonder why this is.

Because they're right for us.  :)

The materials are often less irritating to sensitive skin, and the way women's clothing is stitched together is even different.  I wear tank undershirts, for example.  The women's version rolls the seams and edge stitching outward, off the skin.  The men's versions that I had put the seams and edge stitching against the skin, sacrificing comfort for who knows what reason.  Men need hair shirts or some other manly source of discomfort, I suppose. ;)

I agree, I had took the box cutter to all of my boy pants in the 11th grade and just started wearing joggers.
They were too loose, and I couldn't find anything less than a 29w at the local stores. Not to mention they all were plain and ugly.
