Here, I made you a graphic to explain the different types of underpants!Īs you know, we like to diversify the imagery as much as possible here, but unfortunately underwear vendors prefer to focus on skinny white cis girls exclusively, even when modeling plus-size underthings! So that’s how that is.
Underpants who identify as “boyshorts” run the gamut, especially with respect to coverage, so when I say “ girltrunks” I’m referring to “boyshorts” (and sometimes men’s boxer-briefs) that cover your whole entire butt and then some. Especially of course TomboyX.Īlso, I know that gender is a spectrum and a solid quarter of you likely don’t identify as female, but those words will come up a lot in this post because that is how fashion describes itself! What are Boyshorts and Girltrunks?įor years we’ve seen boxer-briefs or “Girltrunks” made for people who are not adult cis men (as in no pouch for external genitalia) consistently get discontinued, but a new awareness of the market for this style has transformed the field in recent years. I have no data to compare this to but I feel like this is probably more than the heterosexual and/or cisgender population.
Back in 2015, we asked our readers what style of underwear they wear: 12% said boxers, 22% said boxer-briefs and 33% said boyshorts. Now, as a lesbian, I find myself often surrounded by others with similar preferences for boxer-briefs and boyshorts because LGBTQ Women and non-binary people have, historically, been especially inclined to wear boys/men’s underwear or “boy” cuts from the women’s section - and these days, unisex items produced by gender-expansive clothing brands. I’m very passionate about always having cute underwear in general and this specific style of underwear specifically - especially these days when a solid boxer-brief can completely eliminate the need to ever wear pants! My underwear drawer is half thongs and half “girl trunks” - two styles that also meet my other intimate need, which’s no panty lines.
