Why choose TransUndeez packer boxer?
- Built-in pouch: Our packer underwear features a specially designed pouch that keeps the packer secure and firmly in place. The pouch is large enough to easily insert the packer, but tight enough to prevent sagging.
- Extra sturdy: The TransUndeez packer ‘Original’ is more durable than most boxer shorts, providing added support and peace of mind.
- Extensively tested: These boxers were thoroughly tested by the designer’s trans son who wears a packer himself and noted that many other designs allow packers to hang too low.
- High-quality breathable material: The underwear is primarily made of soft, breathable cotton, which is important for preventing skin irritation and ensuring comfort during daily use (Cleveland Clinic).
- Discreet design: From the outside, you wouldn’t know this is packer underwear. Extra seams seamlessly disguise the pouch.
How to find the right size of packer underwear.
Choosing the right size is important for both comfort and safety.
Measure your waist and hips using a flexible measuring tape.
Waist measurement: measure the narrowest part of your waist.
Hip measurement: measure the widest part of your hips.
Compare these measurements with the size chart on the product page. If you are between two sizes, it is usually better to choose the larger size for more freedom of movement.
Make sure the packer underwear fits snugly but is not too tight. Too much pressure can feel uncomfortable or cause the packer to deform. A good fit ensures the underwear does what it is designed to do: stay secure, comfortable, and discreet.
