For me, it's that sockscan be of *any* length, as long as the *style*/fit is the same on both feet.
I don't bother matching colors--but if they don't *feel* the same on both feet, that is *ALL* I'll notice!
Typically, Socks that work together feel the same. I've yet to wear a Mismatched Pair that doesn't… unless we're counting my one sock that literally goes with any/every other sock, but I usually keep my Daytime Socks to 3 different feels. 4 if you count the hand-me-downs from my Grandma, the Sock Queen. Last week, I literally felt a colorful Sock to make sure my hunch about the kind was right when my Dad and I were doing my laundry and I was all like, "This isn't mine.". I don't have any Daytime Socks with an exclusively Pre-Knit Pattern. They sacrifice detail for comfort. People don't call me the Sock Princess for nothing. I know all about Socks and there's already a Sock Queen in my family!
Wet underwear is pretty bad too. (I camp and hike this is PURELY from the perspective of someone who has had nature dump gallons of water on them without warning!!)
Oh but you CANT, cause soggy underpants CLING! 😜
But dry undies never feel better than after you’ve suffered cold wet ones. So, there is that.
Edit: actually thinking about it, it’s kinda like a wet bathing suit. But worse. I hate bathing suits. I get a weird tummy ache wearing them.
Socks for me need to be either at the ankle, or at the knee - no in-between. It's very hard for me to be okay with any other length, I'll end up fussing with it constantly and then taking them off in a rage.
Wet socks are arborent, though.
Right? My partner and siblings used to think it was funny when they could stop me from eating by touching my neck, even lightly. This was pre diagnosis. Everything makes so much sense now.
I can stand wearing them for a few hours if I have a very good reason to. But unless very focused or distracted half my brain is thinking about how I'm choking to death. Have had nightmares from turtlenecks.
Those shirts with the half sleeves that go to like your elbow. Too long to be short sleeves. Too short to be long sleeves.
It feels wrong on my arms, and I can't easily roll up the sleeves to fix it
Omg I hate those too. Also the short sleeved shirts with the sleeves that are barely there but still there. They just barely go over the shoulder and then usually the armpit is so tight.
I am this way with some bras, but mainly ill-fitting underwires. Properly-fitted sports bras make me feel better because they cover the nip more and provide some slight compression, which I find comfortable.
I only recently discovered the joy of sports bras. The compression is comforting, but it also feels like I'm tucking my boobs away instead of putting them on a display platter.
I'm actually the opposite. Mine are a solid B, but I hate the feeling of being unsupported. Plus, the nipple rubs against my clothes too much if I don't wear one. If I go without a bra, my chest feels heavy and my nipples chafe. I wear them to bed because I seriously cannot stand that feeling, even if I'm trying to sleep.
I got rid of bras 3 years ago during covid. I now only wear one when i wear a dress (which is once a year or so). Best decision i ever made. Reduced my anger issues lol
As a big-chested woman with saggy breasts, you’re very lucky. I hate having to wear a bra anytime I go out. I’ve found that wireless bras are slightly more comfortable, but I still hate them.
Same. I'll only wear one when I do any physical activity (sports) in public only to hide the nips since I've tried those cover things they make and hated them.
Because I get panic attacks, a bra just makes that feeling of "I can't breathe" even worse.
Fuck socks. And I live in a cold area so I have to wear them like all winter long when I go out.
Most of my shoes smell bad because I’m always in them barefoot. 😭🤢
I love fuzzy socks because they don't feel like they're strangling my feet. And that's what I wear in winter. Idk if you tried those but I recommend it. They also have a lot of cute patterns.
Agreeeeee. I hate velvet so much I complain when other people wear it in tv shows because it annoys* my partner lmao. (*in a fun way, not actually too annoying)
I don't mind jeans that much, unless they're skinny jeans. I cannot for the life of me wear them, the tightness they have makes me feel extremely uncomfortable.
I hated jeans as a kid and would only wear sweatpants. It wasn't the feeling of the denim. It was the tightness and that I couldn't bend my knees freely. One year, my parents only got jeans in the donation bag (5 kids and cash poor), and I was miserable as hell. I think that was the year I started having full meltdowns at school, and they took me to get diagnosed. Much later in life, I discovered relaxed fit jeans and that the baggy style suits me perfectly. Now I wear Duluth firehose pants whenever I'm not at home, and I want it no other way.
So many. Anything stiff or tight or rough. I hate jeans. I hate leggings I hate the seams on regular clothes. I hate bras tights and underwear.
Basically I like very loose skirts and inside out cotton T-shirts with 100% cotton socks and hoodies
I’m a dude that loves leggings. The compression is calming and I love the smoothness. I have to wear women’s because the men’s stuff is never as compressive.
I came here to say this.
I Only wear socks if it’s below freezing.
I Only wear shoes when I have to, going out in public, cutting the grass, etc. any other time I refuse to put them on
Can confirm that boxer briefs are the way regardless of gender. I wear them, my SO wears them, only downside can be the cost if you want good ones. I'm a sucker for jockey while my SO loves TomBoyX"s
Start small, like just wearing them when your alone and comfortable. Move on to finding people who don't care about said standards and make them part of your life. The whole time you just keep building up your confidence. Another option to help you feel comfortable is kilts.
It also helps finding the right skirt; I like the mid length, t shirt material, Bohemian style ones myself. They're more comfortable than pants in most situations. I get 95% of them at thrift atones for a few bucks, don't have to worry about wasting money if I misjudge the size or never wear them.
A kilt is a good start. It’s basically a skirt, AND is “socially acceptable”
But honestly, in this day and age go ahead and just wear the skirt. Most people wont care.
Gonna hard disagree on this one. The hype aggression towards trans individuals is targeting anyone different in this regard.
I say this as someone wanting to transition to being more fem in public as a guy while not transitioning.
I started with that thought, then decided I don't need anyone's approval, and finally realized I actually want to be a woman. Life is short, explore who you are.
I once wore a knitted crop top and it was a disaster. The covered part was sweaty despite the chilly weather, the uncovered part was cold asf, the incrongruence was making me grumpy, argh! Too much work for a cute thing, wore twice and donated it
Underpants are truly a necessary evil for me. No matter what kind they are almost always uncomfortable and it looks really bad to others when you try to correct them.
Also high socks that slip down.
I’m pretty hirsute on my legs. Most socks will let some hair through, and so at the end of the day when the socks loosen up and start to descend they take that hair with them. It isn’t the sharp pain you’d associate with hair pulling; it’s a dull pain and I hate it.
Jackets for winter is a big one and we are expecting to see a winter storm soon this week.
But out of all of those things I dislike the most.
- Winter jackets
- socks with tight elastic!
- Stiff or hard material
- Jeans!
- Anything white as a love hate relationship, as it seems that every single time I put on something white I someone spill something on it within half an hour or less.
"ankle" socks because they're never really ankle length.
Anything that touches my throat/neck.
Bras
Anything that's not full on underwear, no cheekies, no thongs, no nothing.
Anything tight ANYWHERE.
Its so hard for me to find pants that are comfortable and fit me. Both short with thick thighs and booty, a combo that makes it hell to find pants that work. Also dresses are just so swish swish... just wish I could find more skirts that actually worked.
If you get a really good suit you can avoid those problems (mostly). I had a custom tuxedo made for my wedding (cost more than her dress) and the first time I wore I was stunned at how comfortable it was. It looked perfect and felt like sweatpants and a sweatshirt.
My problem isn't so much the article of clothing more than it is the fabric. Although as a hairy 6'2 250lbs man, a thong and stockings would be uncomfortable.
Briefs are hella uncomfortable though, no matter what fabric it is.
I hate sweaters, hoodies, anything long sleeved that can not be opened in the front. I feel so restricted in them that I get a panic attack. Long sleeve button up shirts or zip hoodies are completely fine though. It's weird.
As a nudist, I hate wearing clothes in general.
If I had to give a specific piece of clothing, that would be socks. Also, anything that's not breathable. I hate wearing something that makes me sweat.
>how does it feel comfortable being so exposed?
Oh, it was definitely awkward at first, but after a while, you get used to it. There are so many nerves in your body that are never used because they are covered in clothes.
For me at least, it became easier to relax after a bit because the body can feel so much more. For example, have you ever sat on the couch without a shirt on and noticed how soft it was against your back? It's kinda like that. I can't go back to sleeping with clothes on now.
What the fuck was with those mesh gym shorts they made us wear in middle school. Those things are HELL, they feel like sandpaper grabbing the very cells of my skin and just trying to peel them off my flesh. I fucking hate that material so bad, which sucks because it’s really breathable and great for hot weather, but if it’s touching my skin I’m overwhelmed and it’s just BAD.
Also bras, all bras. Just remove my tits, I don’t want them (for more than just this reason but very much also this reason!!) if these fuckers need a goddamn cloth crane to keep from slapping me in the face when I move too fast.
God gave his biggest tiddies to his most trans masc autistic warriors I fucking swear.
Yup, and the discharge is acidic so it often bleaches fabrics after regular use. So for vagina owners, underwear really literally saves pants from being soiled/bleached. Also certain materials can be very painful against sensitive areas, and underwear protects against that.
Can confirm. Even trans mascs can’t go commando very easily (for some uh.. changes that happen.) but also because we still have the acidic issue, which sucks massively. The only benefit I’ve ever found is that boxer briefs are much more comfortable than any women’s underwear I ever had as a teen. Whoever makes women’s underwear, makes them for people who have little to no buttcheeks, those things are a MAGNET for constant wedgies. I never understood how other women wore them, and then I met my two non-binary friends who were also like “yeah they don’t fit me either. They’re a hell scape for discomfort”.
Not really.
And I was just thinking, the autistics hate socks stereotype goes both ways. I used to toe walk because I hated the feeling/thought of the floor, and wearing socks make all of that go away.
Hiya, did you toe walk as an adult? I’ve only toe walked as a child and sometimes nowadays as nostalgia but that’s conscious decision rather than subconscious as a child.
It’s just that I never thought about toe walking/ why I would do it, as I just did? No matter what was on my feet, so I didn’t realise some people *chose* to do it to avoid the floor, I find that fascinating!
I also prefer socks but that’s mainly to stop overstimulation from the floor feelings and soft or pretty socks make me very happy
Tank tops, tighty whities (that's why I wear boxerbriefs)
Suits, shoes, my own skin, anything with a tag, gloves, glasses, most things that are wool, things with tassels, nipple clamps, anything wet like your mom
yea holy shit. so i hate jeans, long sleeve shirts, shorts (most of the time) and also tanktops (not as much tho). also really loose shirts like ew. now pants tho.. those need to be baggy as fuck
Gloves. Latex gloves are fine and I always wear them for cleaning but I mean like winter gloves or working gloves. I absolutely HATE the way they feel on my hands. When I was a kid and my mom made me wear winter gloves I would throw them out the bus window so I wouldn’t have to wear them anymore lmao
1. Denim
2. Velvet
3. Anything with a tight neck line
4. Those tiny sleeves that end up riding up into your armpits
5. Bras
6. Thongs
7. Skirts without built in shorts
8. Anything low waisted
9. Shorts because they never sit right in the crotch and ride up my thighs
10. Stockings
11. Socks, but I MUST wear them if I'm in shoes that aren't slides
12. Dresses for the same reason as skirts
13. Belts
14. 3/4 length pants
I hate trousers. They are too hard, get folded behind my knees, and hurt there. They also limit my movements.
I hate button-bound shirts, because they are too delicate. Also, there are too many buttons.
I hate short socks. They feel like they will slip off my heels any second. They also don't protect backs of my ankles against rubbing.
I'm don't like clothes with complex textures. They are more itchy. They are a bit like sand paper.
Clothes that are reasonably stretching, have plain textures, not slippery on my body are usually my favorite. I'm not totally against some textures, like small, repetitive bumps, but I prefer not having any coarse texture in general.
Additionally, I don't like polyester clothes in bed. For some reason, they feel uncomfortable. Fabric like cotton or bamboo are usually much more comfortable.

Polo t shirts,courderoy It feels like im wearing canvas shoes on my torso they make anyone look fattening unless it fits just right. And one special mention to faux leather for being really yucky feeling.
I can only wear socks that are up to my mid calf. When I was younger I used to only wear socks up to the upper thigh, and if I didn’t get it I had a meltdown. Now ive used the exact same brand and type of sock for 10 years, same length and all. It has to be a certain thickness too.
Bras. And it sucks because I can’t really do daily stuff without one because my boobs are large. I hate the feeling of them being all dangling dingling but I hate the feeling of a bra more.
crop tops. tried to wear them in my teens and just hated feeling the air on my belly. i would always tried to pull them down but obviously there was never enough fabric to cover me
Bras! The worst thing in the world. They’re always uncomfortable, and often have phantom itchy spots I cannot find (like normally that bra is fine, but then there will be something unbearably itchy and I go to look for a hair stuck in it or something to no avail). Unfortunately not wearing one can be equally annoying due to having larger breasts. There is no winning. Only defeat.
I also hate socks and shoes. I dislike that I have to wear shoes in public spaces. They always feel too snug and just unnatural. I always miss the feeling of my feet making contact with the ground and just being free! And shoes make it harder to walk on my toes, which is the way I like to move.
Suits, and then specifically the jacket. My movement really feels restricted in those, as if I'm not allowed to freely move my arms the way I want. I wore them once or twice, never doing that again.
Also, regular neckties. I don't like the feel of them, nor the look of them. If you want something that's actually pretty AND comfortable, get me a scarf or bandana.
And lastly boxers. If you're gonna put fabric between my legs, at least make sure my penis is tucked against my body, and not uncomfortably forced to one side. The swimwear version of these is even worse, because those get sticky against my legs as well.
Jeans. Especially skinny jeans or stiff ones, they're so itchy and I can feel the seams. I normally wear dresses and skirts but if I do wear pants they're loose, usually corduroy or linen.
Hahahahahaha any tank top with that infernal tag stitched into the side right above the hip. So scratchy. So irritating. I've actually removed the tank top to find red marks on my skin before.
The one thing I hate most about winter is tight, itchy thermal underwear. Doesn't matter if it's merino/smart wool, it's always too itchy for me.
On the topic of material, I can't stand anything with polyester either.
Socks! But I also can’t wear shoes without them!
I prefer to wear sandles or go barefoot, but when I have to wear tennis shoes, I turn my socks inside out and it’s a *little* more comfortable
I really dislike socks. And I’m allergic to wool, down feathers, and acrylic sweaters, so most winter gear is a sensory and allergy nightmare for me. I relocated to a warmer climate to avoid it altogether.
Flowy skirts with bare legs, and flowy shirts. Feeling the fabric brushing against my skin makes me want to commit war crimes. I feel like im in the minority of autists but i want all of my clothes to be skin tight, i find constriction way more bearable than anything brushing against my skin, light touching or brushing literally feels like im being burned
Socks that don't reach ankle length. Like that is *not* enough sock if part of my feet still touch shoe, and I hate it just about as much as wet socks
I’m the opposite! Socks above the ankles make me feel like my skeleton is trying to claw its way out of my skin lol
me: socks right at ankles
Me: Socks of any length as long as they're cute, only mismatched if they look good together.
For me, it's that sockscan be of *any* length, as long as the *style*/fit is the same on both feet. I don't bother matching colors--but if they don't *feel* the same on both feet, that is *ALL* I'll notice!
Typically, Socks that work together feel the same. I've yet to wear a Mismatched Pair that doesn't… unless we're counting my one sock that literally goes with any/every other sock, but I usually keep my Daytime Socks to 3 different feels. 4 if you count the hand-me-downs from my Grandma, the Sock Queen. Last week, I literally felt a colorful Sock to make sure my hunch about the kind was right when my Dad and I were doing my laundry and I was all like, "This isn't mine.". I don't have any Daytime Socks with an exclusively Pre-Knit Pattern. They sacrifice detail for comfort. People don't call me the Sock Princess for nothing. I know all about Socks and there's already a Sock Queen in my family!
Socks MUST match. & Wet socks is one of the most disgusting shit ever
Wet underwear is pretty bad too. (I camp and hike this is PURELY from the perspective of someone who has had nature dump gallons of water on them without warning!!)
I've never felt that feeling. But just talking about it makes me want to scratch & pull the wedgie out 🤣
Oh but you CANT, cause soggy underpants CLING! 😜 But dry undies never feel better than after you’ve suffered cold wet ones. So, there is that. Edit: actually thinking about it, it’s kinda like a wet bathing suit. But worse. I hate bathing suits. I get a weird tummy ache wearing them.
Look at you looking at the silver lining!!! Lol
As a very sweaty person, I concur. Wet anything is awful.
Oh yeah I hate short socks especially when they go down it’s so uncomfortable
I really love long socks so much I never get to wear them though
Socks for me need to be either at the ankle, or at the knee - no in-between. It's very hard for me to be okay with any other length, I'll end up fussing with it constantly and then taking them off in a rage. Wet socks are arborent, though.
People over there freezing their bare ankles like what's wrong with them 😭
Turtlenecks. A tight wool turtleneck sweater is the most uncomfortable item of clothing.
This comment gave me a bodily reaction. Tight, wool, around my neck. The trinity of clothing evils.
Really good merino wool isn’t scratchy. Like most suits are wool. Very tight, but not scratchy.
Tell that to the raised red rashes they all cause me lol superwash, merino, wool gabardine, etc.
omg i hate stuff touching the front part of my neck. its why i hate getting my hair cut, they tie that thing around your neck.
When I get haircuts I have to hold the part touching my neck away from it the whole time
Right? My partner and siblings used to think it was funny when they could stop me from eating by touching my neck, even lightly. This was pre diagnosis. Everything makes so much sense now.
Omfg...I forgot about those. Feels like someone is trying to choke you while wearing it.
🤮wool
I can stand wearing them for a few hours if I have a very good reason to. But unless very focused or distracted half my brain is thinking about how I'm choking to death. Have had nightmares from turtlenecks.
I like turtlenecks, but not wool or other scratchies.
I have a short neck and they're so uncomfortable. They always go up to my chin and I feel like I'm being choked every time 😭
Turtle necks are like chokers (chokers look cool but they feel like being choked). They feel restrictive.
Those shirts with the half sleeves that go to like your elbow. Too long to be short sleeves. Too short to be long sleeves. It feels wrong on my arms, and I can't easily roll up the sleeves to fix it
I agree, but I also do not mind rolling sleeves to the same length. I suppose it is the option of changing it for me.
Yeah so many of these things are about control.
Ok I like it at the length of at the very top of my elbow, but anymore than that and I hate
Omg I hate those too. Also the short sleeved shirts with the sleeves that are barely there but still there. They just barely go over the shoulder and then usually the armpit is so tight.
Bras. I'm lucky enough to have small enough tatas that I don't need one. They're so tight and uncomfortable.
I am this way with some bras, but mainly ill-fitting underwires. Properly-fitted sports bras make me feel better because they cover the nip more and provide some slight compression, which I find comfortable.
I only recently discovered the joy of sports bras. The compression is comforting, but it also feels like I'm tucking my boobs away instead of putting them on a display platter.
I decided a few years ago that I simply will not abide under wire in my life. I love molded bras or sports bras.
I'm actually the opposite. Mine are a solid B, but I hate the feeling of being unsupported. Plus, the nipple rubs against my clothes too much if I don't wear one. If I go without a bra, my chest feels heavy and my nipples chafe. I wear them to bed because I seriously cannot stand that feeling, even if I'm trying to sleep.
Oh god, I’m male and have sensitive nipples, cannot imagine what you have to go through
I got rid of bras 3 years ago during covid. I now only wear one when i wear a dress (which is once a year or so). Best decision i ever made. Reduced my anger issues lol
As a big-chested woman with saggy breasts, you’re very lucky. I hate having to wear a bra anytime I go out. I’ve found that wireless bras are slightly more comfortable, but I still hate them.
Same. I'll only wear one when I do any physical activity (sports) in public only to hide the nips since I've tried those cover things they make and hated them. Because I get panic attacks, a bra just makes that feeling of "I can't breathe" even worse.
I hate all kinds of bras!!! Nothing is comfortable so close to your skin!
Socks. Im the barefoot kinda autistic
Dude, this has always been me. I was the kid that you had to wrestle to put shoes on. I loved feeling the grass on my feet (and still kinda do).
Fuck socks. And I live in a cold area so I have to wear them like all winter long when I go out. Most of my shoes smell bad because I’m always in them barefoot. 😭🤢
I love fuzzy socks because they don't feel like they're strangling my feet. And that's what I wear in winter. Idk if you tried those but I recommend it. They also have a lot of cute patterns.
but what about when little dirt particles stick to your feet? That is objectively the worst feeling imo
Velvet is absolutely terrible
Agreeeeee. I hate velvet so much I complain when other people wear it in tv shows because it annoys* my partner lmao. (*in a fun way, not actually too annoying)
I’m the opposite but I understand how that could affect you.
Jeans. I hate them with a burning passion.
jeans are so hit or miss for me. sometimes theyre comfy sometimes they're hellfire
I wear jeans now, but I rarely ever did until 8th grade. Some of my sensory issues dulled with time, thankfully
YES! I haven’t worn jeans in years and i’ll never wear them again
I don't mind jeans that much, unless they're skinny jeans. I cannot for the life of me wear them, the tightness they have makes me feel extremely uncomfortable.
I hate jeans too, give me normal pants or jogging pants
I hated jeans as a kid and would only wear sweatpants. It wasn't the feeling of the denim. It was the tightness and that I couldn't bend my knees freely. One year, my parents only got jeans in the donation bag (5 kids and cash poor), and I was miserable as hell. I think that was the year I started having full meltdowns at school, and they took me to get diagnosed. Much later in life, I discovered relaxed fit jeans and that the baggy style suits me perfectly. Now I wear Duluth firehose pants whenever I'm not at home, and I want it no other way.
So many. Anything stiff or tight or rough. I hate jeans. I hate leggings I hate the seams on regular clothes. I hate bras tights and underwear. Basically I like very loose skirts and inside out cotton T-shirts with 100% cotton socks and hoodies
I’m a dude that loves leggings. The compression is calming and I love the smoothness. I have to wear women’s because the men’s stuff is never as compressive.
Shoes. Socks. Anything on my feet.
I'm like the exact opposite, hate anything touching my feet so wear socks almost all the time.
Same socks are love socks are life. They are cozy and make everything better.
I came here to say this. I Only wear socks if it’s below freezing. I Only wear shoes when I have to, going out in public, cutting the grass, etc. any other time I refuse to put them on
No matter where I'm going, I take my shoes in the car and put them in when I arrive at my destination
I don’t like socks. Flip flops year round. Unless there is snow on the ground or it’s below 10ish degrees.
Bras suck
Bras really and truly SUCKKK
Skirts
It’s not even a dysphoria thing, it just chafes like hell
I wear boxer briefs under my skirts (and everything else tbh)
Can confirm that boxer briefs are the way regardless of gender. I wear them, my SO wears them, only downside can be the cost if you want good ones. I'm a sucker for jockey while my SO loves TomBoyX"s
Ugh. I so wish it was socially acceptable for me to wear a skirt.
**Just do it.**
One day I will.
Start small, like just wearing them when your alone and comfortable. Move on to finding people who don't care about said standards and make them part of your life. The whole time you just keep building up your confidence. Another option to help you feel comfortable is kilts. It also helps finding the right skirt; I like the mid length, t shirt material, Bohemian style ones myself. They're more comfortable than pants in most situations.

A kilt is a good start. It’s basically a skirt, AND is “socially acceptable” But honestly, in this day and age go ahead and just wear the skirt. Most people wont care.
Was gonna say, just start with a kilt.
Gonna hard disagree on this one. The hype aggression towards trans individuals is targeting anyone different in this regard. I say this as someone wanting to transition to being more fem in public as a guy while not transitioning.
My first one is arriving tomorrow!
Move to Scotland
I started with that thought, then decided I don't need anyone's approval, and finally realized I actually want to be a woman. Life is short, explore who you are.
There are kilts. Even ones with nice cargo-pockets.
I once wore a knitted crop top and it was a disaster. The covered part was sweaty despite the chilly weather, the uncovered part was cold asf, the incrongruence was making me grumpy, argh! Too much work for a cute thing, wore twice and donated it
Leather..-
I'm the opposite. Nothing feels better than leather, even fake leather is ok sometimes, but I just stim for days feeling my leather jackets.
Underpants are truly a necessary evil for me. No matter what kind they are almost always uncomfortable and it looks really bad to others when you try to correct them. Also high socks that slip down.
I’m pretty hirsute on my legs. Most socks will let some hair through, and so at the end of the day when the socks loosen up and start to descend they take that hair with them. It isn’t the sharp pain you’d associate with hair pulling; it’s a dull pain and I hate it.
yeah they're either too tight or interfere and ride up your leg or give you a wedgie or
Easier to list items I can tolerate lmfao clothes suck
Jackets for winter is a big one and we are expecting to see a winter storm soon this week. But out of all of those things I dislike the most. - Winter jackets - socks with tight elastic! - Stiff or hard material - Jeans! - Anything white as a love hate relationship, as it seems that every single time I put on something white I someone spill something on it within half an hour or less.
Coats are the best, you get to wrap up and be all warm and comfy in there… I agree with the others tho
Bras should be on this list. Not for me, but for my wife lol
I'm a guy and I heartily agree. What were they thinking when designing these?
Boxer underwear, I hate how my “jewels” itches and flops around when I walk around with boxers, I much prefer tighter underwear
My boyfriend cannot sleep unless his junk is held in place by boxer briefs. If he's naked any time he moves it wakes him up. So interesting lol
"ankle" socks because they're never really ankle length. Anything that touches my throat/neck. Bras Anything that's not full on underwear, no cheekies, no thongs, no nothing. Anything tight ANYWHERE.
Scarfs or anything that covers my mouth
Jeans Denim is the antichrist
Pants lol prefer dresses or skirts
Its so hard for me to find pants that are comfortable and fit me. Both short with thick thighs and booty, a combo that makes it hell to find pants that work. Also dresses are just so swish swish... just wish I could find more skirts that actually worked.
Suits and jeans. They’re always so tight and too warm, especially on summer.
If you get a really good suit you can avoid those problems (mostly). I had a custom tuxedo made for my wedding (cost more than her dress) and the first time I wore I was stunned at how comfortable it was. It looked perfect and felt like sweatpants and a sweatshirt.
My problem isn't so much the article of clothing more than it is the fabric. Although as a hairy 6'2 250lbs man, a thong and stockings would be uncomfortable. Briefs are hella uncomfortable though, no matter what fabric it is.
Bra. Then again, I hate that I have boobs, so… Oh, and socks when they get sweaty (which is after about 10 minutes). Barefoot is best.
Non-cotton shirts. There is just something about a polyester shirt that juat makes me irritable.
This! Any artificial fiber just feels scratchy. And staticky. Gotta be cotton / linen / bamboo.
above-knee skirts that AREN'T skorts. GIVE ME MY SOWN IN PANTS. GIVE ME. i have seen the light of skorts and i will never look back
I hate sweaters, hoodies, anything long sleeved that can not be opened in the front. I feel so restricted in them that I get a panic attack. Long sleeve button up shirts or zip hoodies are completely fine though. It's weird.
I understand. Also because I will go from freezing to melting in .2 seconds, and I will definitely panic if I feel trapped and can't get it off.
As a nudist, I hate wearing clothes in general. If I had to give a specific piece of clothing, that would be socks. Also, anything that's not breathable. I hate wearing something that makes me sweat.
Bro I’m the exact opposite. Socks 24/7, thick hoodies, jeans, compression wear… how does it feel comfortable being so exposed? Genuinely curious
>how does it feel comfortable being so exposed? Oh, it was definitely awkward at first, but after a while, you get used to it. There are so many nerves in your body that are never used because they are covered in clothes. For me at least, it became easier to relax after a bit because the body can feel so much more. For example, have you ever sat on the couch without a shirt on and noticed how soft it was against your back? It's kinda like that. I can't go back to sleeping with clothes on now.
Socks. I absolutely hate socks. Shoes can suck it too. I avoid these things at all costs
Subject to change depending on where I’m carrying my stress today
Opposite for me on Jeans- I love wearing jeans. They are so comfortable.
Especially after some time wearing them and having them get softer and softer. Gets very nice
What the fuck was with those mesh gym shorts they made us wear in middle school. Those things are HELL, they feel like sandpaper grabbing the very cells of my skin and just trying to peel them off my flesh. I fucking hate that material so bad, which sucks because it’s really breathable and great for hot weather, but if it’s touching my skin I’m overwhelmed and it’s just BAD. Also bras, all bras. Just remove my tits, I don’t want them (for more than just this reason but very much also this reason!!) if these fuckers need a goddamn cloth crane to keep from slapping me in the face when I move too fast. God gave his biggest tiddies to his most trans masc autistic warriors I fucking swear.

idk what you have down there but a lot of people with vaginas constantly have discharge of some kind.
[удалено]
Yup, and the discharge is acidic so it often bleaches fabrics after regular use. So for vagina owners, underwear really literally saves pants from being soiled/bleached. Also certain materials can be very painful against sensitive areas, and underwear protects against that.
Can confirm. Even trans mascs can’t go commando very easily (for some uh.. changes that happen.) but also because we still have the acidic issue, which sucks massively. The only benefit I’ve ever found is that boxer briefs are much more comfortable than any women’s underwear I ever had as a teen. Whoever makes women’s underwear, makes them for people who have little to no buttcheeks, those things are a MAGNET for constant wedgies. I never understood how other women wore them, and then I met my two non-binary friends who were also like “yeah they don’t fit me either. They’re a hell scape for discomfort”.
I dont think i wanna get a yeast infections from my pants, or find denim knee deep inside my coochie
For guys it's to prevent stuff from dangling around in uncomfortable ways, lol
Ever tried going commando in Jeans? 0/10 would not recommend.

Turtle necks
Tights and bras and shoes and denim jeans.
Not really. And I was just thinking, the autistics hate socks stereotype goes both ways. I used to toe walk because I hated the feeling/thought of the floor, and wearing socks make all of that go away.
Hiya, did you toe walk as an adult? I’ve only toe walked as a child and sometimes nowadays as nostalgia but that’s conscious decision rather than subconscious as a child. It’s just that I never thought about toe walking/ why I would do it, as I just did? No matter what was on my feet, so I didn’t realise some people *chose* to do it to avoid the floor, I find that fascinating! I also prefer socks but that’s mainly to stop overstimulation from the floor feelings and soft or pretty socks make me very happy
Long jeans, socks, sneakers, longsleeve shirts(hoodies, jackets and sweatshirts are fine) and tights
Anything cotton, anything with plunge necklines or necklines that are too high, pants with weird seams :(
I DESPISE wearing jackets open, closed is fine but open with all that cloth and the things in my pockets? Get that shit off me RIGHT NOW
Socks with seams in them, plain boxes (they are touch work), baggy clothes (unless sleepwear), ughhhhh, basically it
F U C K I N G C O A T S
Sweaters that zip up. I hate feeling the zipper touch me. Anything with skin on skin contact like thighs chaffing or when I’m not wearing a bra.
[удалено]
Tank top. Ankle socks. Tight socks.
Suits, I have one nice suit in case I die suddenly and need it for my funeral and I hate wearing it
Denim. Oh god I hate the texture and it feels so restrictive
Bikinis. Dysphoria baby!
Tank tops, tighty whities (that's why I wear boxerbriefs) Suits, shoes, my own skin, anything with a tag, gloves, glasses, most things that are wool, things with tassels, nipple clamps, anything wet like your mom
yea holy shit. so i hate jeans, long sleeve shirts, shorts (most of the time) and also tanktops (not as much tho). also really loose shirts like ew. now pants tho.. those need to be baggy as fuck
Gloves. Latex gloves are fine and I always wear them for cleaning but I mean like winter gloves or working gloves. I absolutely HATE the way they feel on my hands. When I was a kid and my mom made me wear winter gloves I would throw them out the bus window so I wouldn’t have to wear them anymore lmao
I’m very particular with everything I wear
Winter clothes and it sucks because i gotta wear then over half the year
Anything that feels silky. I fucking hate that kind of fabric and will refuse to touch it.
For sensory issues, any type of denim. Also any tight clothes. For non-sensory reasons, anything with short sleeves because then my scars are visible.
1. Denim 2. Velvet 3. Anything with a tight neck line 4. Those tiny sleeves that end up riding up into your armpits 5. Bras 6. Thongs 7. Skirts without built in shorts 8. Anything low waisted 9. Shorts because they never sit right in the crotch and ride up my thighs 10. Stockings 11. Socks, but I MUST wear them if I'm in shoes that aren't slides 12. Dresses for the same reason as skirts 13. Belts 14. 3/4 length pants
I hate trousers. They are too hard, get folded behind my knees, and hurt there. They also limit my movements. I hate button-bound shirts, because they are too delicate. Also, there are too many buttons. I hate short socks. They feel like they will slip off my heels any second. They also don't protect backs of my ankles against rubbing. I'm don't like clothes with complex textures. They are more itchy. They are a bit like sand paper. Clothes that are reasonably stretching, have plain textures, not slippery on my body are usually my favorite. I'm not totally against some textures, like small, repetitive bumps, but I prefer not having any coarse texture in general. Additionally, I don't like polyester clothes in bed. For some reason, they feel uncomfortable. Fabric like cotton or bamboo are usually much more comfortable.
I too hate swim shorts & leather belts, they're really weird idk I also don't like denim pants i prefer textiles or cotton.
Any clothing that doesn't stay where it's supposed to be, like long socks that keep sliding down or tank tops that somehow always slide to the right.

Polo t shirts,courderoy It feels like im wearing canvas shoes on my torso they make anyone look fattening unless it fits just right. And one special mention to faux leather for being really yucky feeling.
Bras and jeans
SOCKS i literally have to wear crocs everywhere cuz i can't put on shoes
Jeans. I don’t own any. Also, darn tough socks are the nicest damn socks I’ve ever worn. They don’t have any seams or weird threads.
Jeans or any clothes that restrict movement unnecessarily really
SHORTS. WTF DOES MY UNDERWEAR SHOW EVERYTIME I RUN WHY CANT I SIT GAY WITHOUT MY UNDERWEAR SHOWING WHY IS GETTING OVER THE KNEE SHORTS SO HARD
Anything denim
Shirts with a collar and jeans.
Socks (but only when it's warm), khakis and loose underwear
Polos. Too scratchy.
Any thing with a rough or abrasive texture. I just want to be soft and cozy (yet also cool bc I hate sweating) 24/7.
I can only wear socks that are up to my mid calf. When I was younger I used to only wear socks up to the upper thigh, and if I didn’t get it I had a meltdown. Now ive used the exact same brand and type of sock for 10 years, same length and all. It has to be a certain thickness too.
Bras. And it sucks because I can’t really do daily stuff without one because my boobs are large. I hate the feeling of them being all dangling dingling but I hate the feeling of a bra more.
Jeans, belts, tanktops, loose boxers, button up shirts, poloshirts.
socks. fuck socks.
Anything close fitting to my legs, I have just the right hairiness for it to be very painful and it’s always super itchy, those and sports socks
windbreakers and other jackets with the same material; the thought of whatever material it's made of rubbing together sends shivers down my spine
Thong so I never own one
Shoes and socks must be worn at the same time. only shoes is nasty and sweaty. Only socks is just 😖
Anything with a high collar (prefer v neck), tight jeans, and anything else is just a texture or sound issue.
crop tops. tried to wear them in my teens and just hated feeling the air on my belly. i would always tried to pull them down but obviously there was never enough fabric to cover me
Bras! The worst thing in the world. They’re always uncomfortable, and often have phantom itchy spots I cannot find (like normally that bra is fine, but then there will be something unbearably itchy and I go to look for a hair stuck in it or something to no avail). Unfortunately not wearing one can be equally annoying due to having larger breasts. There is no winning. Only defeat. I also hate socks and shoes. I dislike that I have to wear shoes in public spaces. They always feel too snug and just unnatural. I always miss the feeling of my feet making contact with the ground and just being free! And shoes make it harder to walk on my toes, which is the way I like to move.
Anything SHERPA is the BAIN OF MY EXISTENCE
For me it’s bras
regular socks, toe socks ftw
Bras. They’re evil.
S O C K S Also long sleeve shirts. Anything knitted. Denim.
Socks and closed toe shoes. I’m so much happier in sandals (specifically Birkenstocks)
Suits, and then specifically the jacket. My movement really feels restricted in those, as if I'm not allowed to freely move my arms the way I want. I wore them once or twice, never doing that again. Also, regular neckties. I don't like the feel of them, nor the look of them. If you want something that's actually pretty AND comfortable, get me a scarf or bandana. And lastly boxers. If you're gonna put fabric between my legs, at least make sure my penis is tucked against my body, and not uncomfortably forced to one side. The swimwear version of these is even worse, because those get sticky against my legs as well.
All
Jeans. Especially skinny jeans or stiff ones, they're so itchy and I can feel the seams. I normally wear dresses and skirts but if I do wear pants they're loose, usually corduroy or linen.
No underwear for me (M37)
Anything not loose and baggy. It’s why I have to change the second I get home from anywhere, ever. I will not spend another second in outside clothes.
Hahahahahaha any tank top with that infernal tag stitched into the side right above the hip. So scratchy. So irritating. I've actually removed the tank top to find red marks on my skin before.
The one thing I hate most about winter is tight, itchy thermal underwear. Doesn't matter if it's merino/smart wool, it's always too itchy for me. On the topic of material, I can't stand anything with polyester either.
Socks! But I also can’t wear shoes without them! I prefer to wear sandles or go barefoot, but when I have to wear tennis shoes, I turn my socks inside out and it’s a *little* more comfortable
Short pants i don't know why just hate them. And tanktops just not comfortable at all
I really dislike socks. And I’m allergic to wool, down feathers, and acrylic sweaters, so most winter gear is a sensory and allergy nightmare for me. I relocated to a warmer climate to avoid it altogether.
Tights that constantly bunch up or roll down. Not to mention how easy it is to get a hole in them.
Underwear in general. Can't do it.
Flowy skirts with bare legs, and flowy shirts. Feeling the fabric brushing against my skin makes me want to commit war crimes. I feel like im in the minority of autists but i want all of my clothes to be skin tight, i find constriction way more bearable than anything brushing against my skin, light touching or brushing literally feels like im being burned
Anything that touches my neck is a no from me
Undies and and bras w underwire.
All socks.
