I used Amazon basics, but that's because they were the only boyshorts on Amazon with an XXS small size. You may or may not need something that small, so you might want to experiment with sizes.

Edit: I think the size and material is much more important than the brand.

how much below ur size is xxs? like how much smaller than what the size chart or something said?

also still op just on alt

That's a good question. It's hard to say because I'm pre-op, and I haven't looked at any size charts, so I'm not sure what size I would wear if I didn't have to tuck. The rule of thumb I've heard is that you should go two sizes smaller than you would otherwise, and I think that's about right, although I might go one additional size smaller

why does pre op matter? size charts are just based on waist or hip from what I saw

I never used a size chart, so I'm just going by what I feel like my size should be based on trial and error.

ah ok cool

I suppose I'll need some trial and error too
