An ode to girl boxers

[sabotabby]

Dear Girl Boxers,

Where have you been all my life?



Holy shit. Why isn't all underwear, save for your fancy lingerie and your tight-fitting undies that you need for tight-fitting clothes, in boxer form? This is a fucking revelation.



Is this why men are so much more chill in general? Because they don't have fabric riding up their asses constantly? I think this might be the case.

Oh Girl Boxers, and in particular, cute Girl Boxers that come in pink and black and have skulls and polka dots on them, how I adore thee and the freedom of movement you bring!



With love,
Sabs

Link? Where does one get such things?

Winners!

They're Betsey Johnson, but not on that site anymore, and I can't find decent pictures of them.

This is why I usually—especially in the summer, and especially with pants—go commando.

My pants are too tight and my skirts are mostly too short for that. :)

pssst... not all boys like boxers...

[sabotabby]

I know this from my learnings. And certain types of male attire, like skinny jeans, do not go well with boxers.

This said, boy briefs are 200% more comfy than what girls usually get.

Y'know, I could probably live with string-like underwear (he said confidently, having never had to). But the one time US Airways lost my luggage and I was stuck in Glasgow with no clothes, I bought a pack of briefs from Asda (I think it was at least). They managed to cover exactly *half* of each cheek.

This is like 99.99% of all women's underwear, except granny panties (which I won't wear because "granny" and "panties" are two words that should not go next to each other) and "boy shorts," which heretofore have been the best type of underwear I've been able to find, and are essentially the equivalent of briefs.

'Cause, you know, for beyond your first paragraph I thought Her Sabsness had developed a sudden (and more or less inexplicable) devotion to the distaff version of "the sweet science".

But underwear makes a lot more sense.

I do appreciate boxing (male and female) when I catch it, which is not often. Which is to say that I tend to like boxing movies, which are low on the sports and high on the "working class boy or girl tries to get out of organized crime" factor.

Here we call'em Frenchies because hey! They're from here! But, not boxers, in that sense, I think. Both kind of shorter and lower and perfect for dresses. I hereby confess most often not wearing any with jeans or shorts (that are jeans). I just wash'em often. Will only be communicated this way. Also; lace. No skulls but M. Cro Magnon has a pretty rottenlooking muscle shirt that used to be a T-shirt in favour of the punk band La Replik so if I walk with him, there is balance, I feel. If alone, I don't feel skulless either, just alone. Still skinny and beige but I know there's a skull beneath the cover so that's cool.

That sounds pretty awesome.
