TomboyX
Gender-neutral underwear designed for every body, every identity
The Brand That Threw Out the Gender Binary in Your Underwear Drawer
TomboyX was founded in 2013 in Seattle by Fran Dunaway and Naomi Gonzalez, a married couple who started with a simple Kickstarter campaign for button-up shirts designed for women with a more masculine aesthetic. But when they surveyed their early customers about what they really needed, the answer was overwhelming: underwear. Specifically, underwear that was not pink, not lacy, not gendered, and not designed around the assumption that everyone wearing women's underwear wants to look "feminine." TomboyX pivoted entirely to underwear and has since become the defining brand of the gender-neutral intimates movement.
What Makes TomboyX Different
TomboyX designs underwear for bodies, not genders. Their sizing goes from XS to 6X — one of the widest ranges in the industry — and their styles are designed to be worn by anyone regardless of gender identity or expression. The aesthetic is clean, graphic, and bold: solid colours, geometric prints, and designs that owe more to streetwear than to Victoria's Secret. But the real revolution is in the fit: TomboyX offers boxer briefs, trunks, and boy shorts in cuts that actually work on bodies with curves, without the crotch gap or waistband roll that plagues women wearing men's boxers as a workaround.
Key Product Lines
Boxer Briefs are the hero product — a 4.5-inch inseam style that provides full coverage and a smooth silhouette under clothing. Trunks offer a shorter inseam alternative. Bikini and Thong styles serve those who want less coverage with the same gender-neutral aesthetic. Bralettes and Compression Tops provide chest support across the spectrum from light hold to binding. Swim extends the gender-neutral philosophy to swimwear with swim trunks and rash guards alongside bikini options. Essentials packs offer value bundles for building a complete drawer.
Who TomboyX Is Best For
TomboyX is for anyone who has ever felt that their underwear drawer did not match their identity. It serves queer and non-binary individuals who want underwear that affirms rather than contradicts their gender expression. It serves masculine-of-center women who have always hated frilly, "girly" underwear. It serves anyone, regardless of identity, who simply prefers the comfort and coverage of boxer briefs and trunks. And it serves allies who want to support a brand whose values extend beyond marketing into genuine community investment.
Price Range
Underwear from $18 to $35, bralettes from $30 to $48, swim from $35 to $65, packs from $54 to $96. Mid-tier pricing that keeps gender-affirming basics accessible.
Size Range
XS to 6X across most styles. This is one of the most inclusive size ranges in the underwear market, maintained across all styles rather than limited to select designs.
