Please don't defame the Marx Brothers by bringing their excellent movies into this.
If "girl undies" were made of the same fabric as men's undies are, typically (100% cotton or 100%
nylon) with little or no stretch and those Godawful 1 inch or even 1-1/2 inch waistbands that lose their stretch after awhile, then you MIGHT have a point. Fortunately, they are not, and you DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT! SOME
panties don't accommodate the male anatomy, and some DO. You just have to learn to pick and choose (and learn what to look for). Which means swallowing a bit of male pride when you go shopping for underwear.
So.... all men's underwear are Fruit of the Loom "Tighty whiteys" or designer briefs, which are just the same design with a different color and name, OR the tried and true, ubiquitous "boxer shorts" then, right?
All made from cotton, with no longevity or comfort in mind at all.
So, um... what about this stuff then? http://www.abcunderwear.com/sheerunderwear.html
That's just ONE example. If you google a little, you can find LOADS of sites, with all manner of underwear and
lingerie for guys. Thongs,
gstrings, bikinis, briefs, boxers, boxer-briefs (aka box-cut, or boyshorts), and more. You can find ALL materials, cotton, silk, satin, leather, vynil, etc. You can find all levels of opacity from near transparent to totally opaque, as well as pretty much all manner of colors and designs (flags, rainbows (if you are so inclined), metallic shimmer, etc, etc, etc).
Rather than telling us that we need to "swallow our male pride", perhaps you could try to man up a little, and do some research, and wear something actually made for you. You can't use the excuse of cut/style, or material. Everything women have, we have, but made for our particular equipment. In fact, we might even have MORE options, since we have the pelvic equivalent of pasties as well (the so-called "backless sock").
I have a pair of these - http://www.teddygirl.com/pouch-short.html, and other than being larger than average and having to stretch the pouch out a little (because if I upsize, the waist is too large on me), they are some of the most comfortable things you could imagine wearing. And when I wear either my linen pants, or my satin-like shorts over them, the feeling is actually quite pleasant. They aren't the greatest example because they are somewhat cheaply made, but the point is, we have the options you seek, made for US. You just need to look a little.
But, you seem to prefer dressing in drag more than anything else, and just use other aspects like cut, fit, finish, etc as an excuse for your preference.
