Please can we talk about gussets in women's underwear?

[Limth]

Wise ones of MN, please help.
I'm trying to find information about underwear structure but Google is leading me to some very, ahem, unique corners of the internet.

Basically, I've taken to wearing men's boxer shorts because I find them so much more comfortable than women's.
Men's boxers seem to have a 'flat' gusset - one piece of material which stretches all the way from front to back, like us women have in normal, retro 'granny pants'.

Women's boxers, though, seem to have a diamond-shaped piece of material sewn into the gusset area which gets stuck in the crannies of my minge I find very uncomfortable.

First question, then - is there a name for that 'flat' gusset that you get in normal knickers and men's boxers? So I know what I'm searching for!

Second question - is there anywhere that sells women's boxers with this type of 'flat' gusset (or whatever its called)?

Thanks so much for any help you can give me.
I just googled "Inside of women's underwear" which has not filled my evening with joy.

I wear the step one’s and they are very comfy OP. DH wears them too 😁

M&S high rise shorts are my recommendation. I have some of the no VPL ones that are in a 5 pack. Very comfortable.

I use night sanitary towels back to front. I’m a front sleeper. I was going to try period pants but not sure they would work for me now. 😬

These are SO COMFY https://www.uniqlo.com/uk/en/product/airism-ultra-seamless-high-rise-briefs-460199.html?dwvar_460199_color=COL64&dwvar_460199_size=SMA005

So do I. I ended up wearing pants inside them on holiday.

It’s called a gusset, nothing else, a gusset. I know what you mean op.
My 8 year old niece won’t wear girls knickers, she’ll only wear boys boxers from Next because they are cut in much the same way the op described, They don’t have seam s across the crotch area to chafe. She’s always hated wearing knickers , said they made her itch and got stuck in her ‘foof’ until her mum put a pair of her big brothers out grown boxers on her in desperation one day. She’ll happily wear these all day long.

Wirapa on Amazon. They do have a gusset but a flat sewn in double layer of pant material. The material is a thick cotton it doesn’t ride up. They have boxer/ boy shirt/ granny

At the budget end DD likes these https://www2.hm.com/en_gb/productpage.1109278002.html

which have a fairly decent gusset

I'd move away from shorts as they always have a seam.

I find John Lewis Any Day bikini knickers quite generous in the gusset area.
They are about £12 for pack of 5.

I don't like shorts, for the reasons you mentioned, that there is a seam up the front.

Some M&S ones are okay but the gusset is cut smaller than it used to be ) in some bikini styles.

Oh, thanks. I like Lucy and Yak 😀

No, I definitely want shorts. But I want shorts that come quite far down the leg. A lot of the recommended ones here (especially M&S) are too short in the leg.

They remind me of little hot pants that male film directors imagine teenager girls wear to sleepovers where they have sexy pillow fights before collapsing into a pile of lesbianism.

I cheated and Googled a definition
a piece of material sewn into a garment to strengthen or enlarge a part of it.

1. a bracket strengthening an angle of a structure.

You can get gussets sewn into shoulders of garments or armholes.

I have just got some Asda shortie knickers and they have a nice flat oblong gusset bit, not long in the leg though

Uniqlo often do boyshorts with a flat gusset. Also Muji, very light and thin
