Can I just say that as a person who used to wear boxers for years, I recently switched to briefs and I don't think I will ever go back. There is so much extra unnecessary material with boxers which gets all baggy and annoying. The only time I might wear boxers is at night because you can wear them on their own, and not under trousers as during the day.

Boxers. I do have some girl undies, but I mainly wear them when that time of the month comes. I tried the tampons with boxers thing. It got messy. I don't see how you guys can do it...

This too is another reason why I hate boxers.

I too switch back to stupid girl undies for that time of the month. I use pads so I kinda have to.

Other than that, I usually roll commando or wear compression shorts to hold my double front down. I would rather wear boxer briefs, and I did when I had my tri-top. I can't stand boxers. My thighs chafe and there's too much material to be comfy in my jeans. They get all bunched up.

I only wear boxers, but from the sound of it, the boxer briefs are more comfortable. My only concern it them riding up. I might buy a pack to see  how I l like it.

I like these quite a bit, but seem pricey, but a 4 pack of boxers at Target is like $12. Is there any company that sells something similar to these, but a little cheaper?

i used to wear boxers only, and i thought i always would since i loved the loose feel to it. then i got my stp and i can't wear those anymore, the end of the packer sticks out of the left side and there's nowhere to tuck it in the middle like in my boxer briefs (which i only bought in the first place as something to hold the packer in and turned out out be pretty comfy) so I'm sticking to just my boxer briefs from now on and only wear my boxers as pajama shorts in the summer. too bad they ride up on the right side, don't know why it's only the right and not both or neither. whether I'm packing or not. 

My american eagle are the favorite, also like my ocean pacific.. then got a mix of hanes, fruit of the loom and some other brand.

I have boxers, boxer briefs, and briefs - no real preference/

My brain certainly knew I was trans before I ever started thinking about the girliness of my wardrobe I haven't had to re-stock with new underwear yet because all of my 'girl' ones are boycut (or boyleg), a natural preference my mother always allowed Essentially they're just guys briefs, but with less give in the front and the regretable picture of a woman on the pack

When I get a packer I'll switch to guys briefs, but for now I'm good with my boycuts

These

(Disclaimer: that's not my body  )

Ben Sherman boxers all the way! They're so comfortable. I threw out any other kind of underwear a few months ago.
During "that time" I have a mooncup, which I don't really like putting in or taking out, but I'm a practical guy and you don't have to change it as often as you do a tampon and once you've got the knack it's pretty easy.

I only wear boxer briefs now ( I phased out the girl undies earlier this year), but I do prefer the tighter kind with more spandex (like Calvin Klein 365's or premium Fruit of The Loom's), especially with tighter pants because of the bunching issue.  Looser fitting ones like the kind that are made of a rib-knit that don't retain elasticity and stretch out annoy me because they give really bad wedgies when you run or move a lot.

I never could stand briefs of any kind (or the girly panties for that matter), because I hate the feeling of elastic or a band of fabric wedged in the crease of my inner thigh and privates, that area chafes so easily.

Let me start off by saying that I walked around with just my boxers on today, and I actually felt uncaring and OKAY. (If I didn't look in a mirror)

But that got me thinking, what kind of underwear do you guys usually wear? Wearing the girly kind is really terrible and degrading (Unless you're into that kinda thing I guess) but isn't it necessary sometimes? I usually wear boxers (Can finally buy NORMAL men's boxers instead of little kids ones. Still, Transformers ROCK) but certain times of the month I am forced to wear the girls kind.

Or maybe there is a way around it? What kind of underwear do you usually wear? I find that boxers are the most comfortable. Also, Plaid totally rocks!

Boxer briefs....or commando

Girl briefs.  Guy briefs.  Whatever covers my butt, doesn't ride up, and is (regrettably, due to the first two factors) totally unsexy for either gender, because of how little I like to spend on them.  If I'm not packing, nobody's going to see the things anyways, and I have more girl ones than guy ones, so may as well wear those ones if I don't need the extra space.

I don't know how anyone still retaining girl parts can wear boxers.  They just don't stay down, and it seems as though one reason behind the euphemism "snatch" is because that's exactly what those parts do with any extra loose fabric, of which there is plenty where boxers are concerned.  Pain.  Pain.  Pain.

Could never get used to tampons.  Tried a mooncup once.  Just...no.  Think I'll save it for if I ever go camping - might need it for a snakebite kit.  That kind of bleeding just gets treated like any other sort of wound.

I went to shop a yellow boxer today (for the new year, they say it brings money), but I couldn't find.
But I really don't care much about what type of underwear I wear, as long is a male one.

boxers stay down for me, nothing has every got caught up in there, O_o

I wear boxers. When that time of the month comes, I have boy shorts to hold the pad and then i put my boxers over them. I've never had my boxers catch on anything down there though. I find them really comfortable.

boxers unless I need to pack in which case I wear a smaller pair of briefs with the packer situated in the pouch ect. and then the square cut boxer briefs over top to keep it all together better.

Fubling, Hanes is having their twice yearly on-line underwear sale and these two are pretty similar to the ones in your link and cost $8-10 for a pack of 4: http://www.hanes.com/Hanes/Products/Men-Hanes/Men_ShopByCategory-Hanes/Men_Underwear-Hanes/Men_Underwear_BoxerBriefs-Hanes/114834.aspx and http://www.hanes.com/Hanes/Products/Men-Hanes/Men_ShopByCategory-Hanes/Men_Underwear-Hanes/Men_Underwear_BoxerBriefs-Hanes/21039.aspx. 

I'm a boxer briefs kinda guy myself but have always had issues with underwear at that time of the month.  I'm small enough that a men's S is a little big, so a boys' XL should fit, too, so my plan is to try wearing boys' briefs in hopes that they'll be snug enough that I won't need to keep any girl-derwear around at all.  Has anyone else who fears the man-pons tried this?

I'm going to be honest with you. I'm not a big fan of underwear at all haha. If I do wear underwear it's this great unisex brief that american apparel sells xD. I have the same pair in 5 different colours haha.

Yep, it works fine.  I wear mens briefs all the time and no problemo.   To be honest, they're actually more comfortable.
