Boxer Briefs

[sux2sit]

Not a product plug, just passing on info. My sister gave me a pair of Tommy John boxer briefs for Christmas, because she never knows what to get me. Anyway I finally got around to opening them up and wore them yesterday. No hem or stitch lines on the butt area, only on the sides inside and out, soft elastic band on the waist. The coolest part was the fly. Instead of a vertical fly, this one is horizontal. While emptying my bladder, the horizontal fly holds the penis still making inserting the catheter super easy. You can almost do the whole process with one hand.

Is this a specific model or all of them? Thanks for sharing your experience with them!

Mine are called Second Skin but they all look like they are built the same.

These are a good choice because they hug your skin so there is no bunching, no friction, and they wick moisture. But they are expensive. Underworks offers less expensive microfiber briefs and also spandex briefs at less than half price. They also offer full leg compression underwear that helps circulation and helps manage edema. Only drawback to snug fitting briefs is that they are hard to put on. If that's a concern, Cool32 (sold at Costco) offers microfiber briefs that provide less compression but are easier to put on.

I never looked at the price since it was a gift, but in visiting their site, I would agree.

Personally I've not worn underwear since about 1 year after my accident (now 28 years later). Between the worry about the material bunching, to possibly interfering with the external cath/leg bag flow, to more hassle for my caretakers to put on.

Your skin is more at risk with the wrong underwear but less at risk with the right underwear, like compression underwear because it does not bunch.

Im Not sure I follow the logic here. Even with the "right" underwear, bunching and creating tight spots is a problem. Anytime you have compression material, you risk it overlapping and becoming tighter in that one area. Doesn't matter if it's perfectly fitted when you don't have sensation and can't tell when something is bunching. Unless you lay perfectly still like a corpse any don't move the entire time you have the clothing on

Applies to Ted stockings too which are medical.

I was assuming that you’re wearing pants. I suppose sitting naked on a sheepskin may be safer than wearing underwear on a sheepskin. But maybe not. Every choice has risk.
