I'm sure some of it is the look. Or the idea of a woman wearing men's underwear.

I think boxer briefs are the hottest underwear a guy can have. Boxers are too loose to be attractive.

[Abyssalin]

It's really preference, I'll admit boxers are far too loose when it comes to extended sitting down, Plus they make driving very uncomfortable since they're so loose,

Either way, I still like stripy boxers. 

[Lines]

I had a pair of boxers once as a pair of sleeping shorts, I just sewed up the fly. Honestly I had them because the print was hilarious (elephants holding daisies) and they were like $5 or something. They fit, they weren't stupid girly like most women's pajamas, and I found them humorous. I actually did find them comfortable...but only for sleeping.

However, I have some boy short style underpants and I love them because they actually cover my butt. Like...all of it. Without looking or feeling like granny panties. I don't like most boy short style underpants because even though they cover more of your hips, they cover only half of your butt and I'm not a fan.

[Redball]

My wife would wear my briefs if she ran out of clean panties in her later years. I think she said she liked the softness.

[Blue Kitty]

Maybe this is something I should put in the confessions thread, but I have something called the Green Lantern combo. I have these black and green boxers, my green shorts, my Green Lantern t-shirt, and I wear one of my Green Lantern rings with it. Sometimes add a white shit underneath if it's cold.

[nekowafer]

Yeah I've noticed that men's underwear seems to be a whole lot softer than most of the panties I have. But I have never worn any due to the fact that I have a seriously huge ass and all of the guys I've dated have been of the tiny ass variety.

Blue kitty: that's... adorable.

I think boxer briefs are the hottest underwear a guy can have. Boxers are too loose to be attractive.

Yessssss. Briefs can be sexy too, depending on the style and/or guy. I bought Nick a bunch of superhero briefs and they're freaking awesome.


As far as men's boxers on ladies- I have one pair that I bought because I wanted to see what the big deal was (and they were uber cheap from Old Navy). They're orange plaid and really comfy. Never bothered to sew the fly because I roll the waistband to make them a bit shorter. Even in shorts made for ladies, I roll waistbands because the saggy crotch thing irritates me.



As far as undies in general, I'm a big fan of boyshorts or hipsters. They're comfy and cute.

[nekowafer]

I don't like briefs on guys. It reminds me far too much of my little brothers running around in their tighty whities when they were like 5.

[Zingoleb]

I tossed all my boxers out like...a year and a half ago. I'm happy to not have any.

I have gotten some ADORABLE socks recently.

[Redball]

I don't like briefs on guys. It reminds me far too much of my little brothers running around in their tighty whities when they were like 5.

I've worn briefs most of my life, mostly for support, to keep my descending parts penis and scrotum from flopping about. It seems to be less of an issue, and now I'm alternating between briefs and boxer-briefs. I suppose younger guys subject to sudden arousal would have another reason to wear briefs.

[Papersatan]

I love knee socks but am cursed to be unable to wear them.  I have big huge calves. It is partially my weight, but mostly genetic.  They were thick before I was. They weight plus my predisposition towards big calves means that nothing meant to fit legs snugly fits me.  

I don't know where else this would go, but underwear seems like a good place.  I received a new corset.  This one is much better quality than my old one.  I am super excited. 

[Barmymoo]

Goodness, that corset is... supportive  It's a lovely shape!

I could never wear knee socks either, they were horribly uncomfortable and made my legs look bulgy and peculiar even if I could get them on.

[nekowafer]

Try sockdreams and justmysize and other places with either measurements in the description or plus size items. I have big calves as well, and I've found a couple things that fit. I managed to find a bunch of thigh highs that fit too, it's awesome.

And that corset is so cool!

[lepetitfromage]

Neko- it's funny, I don't like the plain ol' white ones for just that reason but I can get past them if they're a different color


Zing- omgiwantyoursocks.

I love, love, LOVE knee socks. I have a thing for boots and i hate wearing them without socks that go all the way up. It just feels....sweaty and gross.

And Kat, that corset is awesome

[Papersatan]

unfortunatly, my big calves are bigger than just plus sized.  I have tried socks and boots made for big legs and neither fit.  My calves are 22 inches around at the widest point :s 

[Zingoleb]

Oh my GOD, I cannot wait to have a corset. My friend makes professional quality corsets for about $100 apiece, and I gave him an antique metronome and we made the deal that if I buy the fabric, he will make me a corset. Ridiculously excited over this because goddamn do I want to start tightlacing.

Kat, that corset is awesome and you look great in it.

[Patrick]

That said since this a question of underwear, Whats the female appeal of male boxers? I see why they're comfy for a male but not a female..

Anyone care to explain?

Girl butts look fantastic in my boxers. Just gonna put that out there.

[Edith]

I used to wear men's briefs a lot because the extra material in front held the tummy flab in better than any women's underpants.

Boxer briefs are my favorite kind of men's underwear (for men; I've never tried them for myself).

The first pair of socks Zingoleb posted is my favorite pair ever. I covet them.

[Zingoleb]

They are ridiculously comfortable, and they're also missing. Feh.

[Edith]

I didn't take them. Nope! Don't look at me!

[Lines]

I bought a corset today! (At the renaissance festival.) So when I finish sewing up my blouse, I shall make sure to share it with you guys. It makes my hourglass figure even more hourglassy, it's awesome.

[Omega Entity]

These are the socks I want, mainly because I love Portal.

[Lines]

I want those socks so bad. I would have bought them, but I don't think they'd fit my calves. 

[Omega Entity]

I have the opposite problem, not so much in socks but in boots. I have toothpick legs (small calves and smaller ankles), so any boots that come up above the ankle look ridiculous for how much room is in there, in both places. I'd make the effort to find someplace that does custom sizing, but I don't have that kind of money to spend 

[Papersatan]

As far as boots I suggest to both of you: http://www.duoboots.com/  Which makes custom boots both larger and smaller in the calf than "normal" boots.  Alas I am 6 cm bigger than their biggest size.

[Welu]

I get the same issue with boots and socks for knee-lengths. Damn calves, everyone in my family has huge ones. My extra meat doesn't help.
Plus I have quite wide square but small feet so shoes are a pain just in that sense. Depending on the style or brand I can get a UK 3/4/5. I don't think I've ever seen a half-size in real life here. I just buy men's shoes most of the time now but I wish I could wear heels without having the sides of my feet and toes squished or a gap that makes them cut into the back of my heel. Got some exceptions but not many and they aren't cheap.

Also yes, I want those Portal socks so much.

[Omega Entity]

Ooch, pricy. If I ever have $300 or so laying around doing nothing, I'd be sorely tempted  Ah well, I don't dress fancy enough to warrant them right now anyway. Someday, though! Thanks for the link!

[Omega Entity]

Just got a Fashion Bug balconette bra, and I have to say I'm impressed! To bad I can only afford them when the store's going out of business 

[nekowafer]

That's the type of bra that I have 9 of in different colors. I love them.

As for boots that aren't wide enough in the calf, I got some black boots that lace up in the front and added extra panels and longer string. Doesn't look quite as fancy but they work.

[Patrick]

I haven't bought new underwear in 8 years. I am 23.

[idontunderstand]

Stop bragging.

[Zingoleb]

Confession: The only boxers I ever owned were bought when I was in 7th grade, and they lasted me seven years. I could literally hold them up and see through them by the time I got to throwing them out.

(Bonus sock confession: see signature for details!)

[lepetitfromage]

I just spent $45 on a bra and even though I used a gift card......I still feel guilty.


It's probably one of the most amazing articles of clothing I've ever worn, but still....ugh.



(Oh and the lady who sized me confirmed everything I already knew- I'm either a 38D or a 36DD. And it wasn't as terrible as I anticipated!)

[idontunderstand]

Do all forumites have huge breasts or is it just that the measures are different from where I live?

[Papersatan]

Mine are huge even for here.

Also average breast size does vary by country:

[idontunderstand]

Probably the most fascinating thing I've seen today.

I am really amused that Sweden is rated so high though. I don't quite believe it. I guess this is a good reason to finally switch from ass to breast man?

[nekowafer]

Mine are small   Despite all the problems I know of having big boobs, I want them. If I could get implants, I would. 40D is what I want. For now, I will just have to settle for putting ferrets in my bra.

[Lines]

Your back probably will hate you less than mine will. When you're old, that will be a really really good thing.

[Lupercal]

I'm sure some of it is the look. Or the idea of a woman wearing men's underwear.

I think boxer briefs are the hottest underwear a guy can have. Boxers are too loose to be attractive.

I think they're called "trunks" here or something. I hope I'm thinking of the same one's you're thinking of, they're essentially snug/tight boxers. Actual boxer shorts are, for me, just like wearing a pair of shorts under your jeans or something, which isn't cool. Plus they're really unflattering. I believe guys have dicks and butts, they should probably show them off. Briefs are a little too "my dad" + "small boy" to even be considered beyond their uncomfortableness and general plainness.

Ed Hardy trunks are probably the nicest ones I own, and a pair of Pringles too.

Oh, and I'm finally getting to a stage where I'm not having any of that odd-sock bullshit. I'm getting nice socks (all my old ones have ALL managed to get holes in them at the same time) and they're staying in pairs forever, dammit, or I'm going to wear espadrilles and sandals until I inevitably get bionic feet and can simply jump to work.

[Papersatan]

Also if you wear shorts and boxers you need to be careful how you sit.  First time I ever saw a scrotum was at summer camp, when boxers and baggy shorts were the norm. 

[Lines]

My favorite memory around boxers was when I was on the track & field team in middle school. Our uniforms had those tiny short shorts, but they had the attached briefs on the inside. So, you know, your junk was a little more secure and your underwear was hidden. Some of the guys didn't understand that these shorts did not mesh well with boxers, so when our uniforms got assigned, some of the guys walked out of the locker room with their boxers poking out of their shorts. Some had also tried shoving them inside of the briefs, so their shorts were all lumpy.

Quickly they learned boxer briefs and bicycle shorts were an excellent combination for wearing under their uniforms.

[Pilchard123]

A few years ago, we ran some laps of the running track at school in costume for charity. A couple of guys decided to run in just their shorts. They had some agreement with another group to have them try to steal them, and if they survived a mile, the chasers had to do some forfeit (I think it was put £20 into the pot), and if they lost, they would have to run a lap naked and put £20 in. They lost.

[Barmymoo]

I have always known that I should have been born in Scandinavia!

I am not sure how scientifically-based this idea is, but maybe the reason for different average breast size is to do with weather?

[idontunderstand]

Very likely, but hard to pinpoint. I believe it's just that people from here and from Russia are physically larger on the whole.

[Omega Entity]

I'm only a 34C/36B myself. I am wondering, however, if that chart is referring to natural breast size, or also accounts for implants. I think the US would drop down to a C average, if that were the case.

[Lines]

Eh. I think it's more to do with us having a mixture of cultures as well as being one of the fattest countries in the world. I don't think implants would change that much.

[Lupercal]

Would birth control have anything to do with it? (constantly adjusting hormone levels etc)

[ackblom12]

Only 3% of women in the US have breast implants, it's not like we give them out at candy stores. Also the average breast implant is 300cc - 400cc, which generally results from a mid C to low D.

[Akima]

Do all forumites have huge breasts?

I don't!   See Papersatan's map above.

[Papersatan]

I'd think genetic predisposition and weight would be big factors.  Not everyone gains weight in their breasts, but I know that I do.

I had heard theories that drinking milk, particularly with hormones added, might be a cause of both early menstruation and larger breasts, I have no facts on that though.  I know that age of menarche can be influenced by overall nutrition, but I don't know that milk specifically has anything to do with it.

But a glance shows there to be some correlation maybe with dairy consumption:
