I have been thinking about getting my first pair of panties (I am male), and was wondering what brands are most comfortable, fabric wise. And cutest designs.
EDIT: Currently looking at aerie boybriefs, any thoughts on these?

Pay attention good karma here
Buy by hips size, not by waist size but keep in mind a size 6 in one brand may fit better in a size 5 in another
This is real important information - think hourglass fitting the panty has to slide nudge slip past the wide hips to rest on the waist be it high or low.
Don't buy by the waist - the panty will be too small to fit your otherwise hourglass figure.
Stretchable lycra spandex panties will fit differently due to more flexible fabric.
If you wear jockey briefs aka "Y" fronts get out a tape measure and measure the dimensions of the male panty.
You want the WAIST the HIP (generally 3-4 inches lower than the waist) and the RISE * what the heck is the RISE ?
The RISE is the distance between the top of the front waist to the crotch seam in the crotch or that lacking just the bottom of the crotch.
An additional measurement is handy the distance from that bottom of the crotch to the top of the rear waist.
The RISE is important for having enough room to cover diapers like a diaper cover.
Another factor to consider is crotch width - if you have too little a crotch your male equipment is apt to be pinched or sneak out the sides
and be vulnerable to the slings and pains of outrageous exposure.
Take your measurements and match them to a panty selection you are viewing.
In better panty stores (Victoria's Secret) there may be trial fitting panties
to get your size and fitting down pat. The sales person can help if you are
not really all that uptight about your first venture. It is just underwear with
features missing the "Y" front and wide crotch.
I can't be there to take you into the fitting room for useful hints and suggestions of an intimate nature -
you will just have to experiment on your own.
Your first panty should be something plain at minimal cost - later when you have your vital statistics down
then you can venture to buy packaged panties at cost savings - and later the more extravagant expensive
lacy frilly sissy ones like you just came back from a shopping trip to France *
*They are playing my song "I see London I see France I see underpants" - oh do I see underpants ula la la !
Since this a diaper forum - think ahead of how you are going to mix and match
diapers with panties - Oh won't you be the cute one !
A trip to Wal*Mart Target or other major retailer will open horizons for
plain ordinary every day panties (lingerie). A trip to Victoria's Secret
will be even more revealing.
Don't want the embarrassment of buying in person - consider online shopping.
Order minimally - yes the Shipping and Handling is a killer - if buying a bunch
of panties see if returning is an option (it is underwear and generally is not
returnable for obvious reasons). Make sure your guess-ta-ment is something
you can live with.
There is always Ebay for another source - the Sears catalog has come a long
long way baby !
