Its been two weeks since the circumcision, and i tried to put on loose boxers today and just cant bear it, what can i do to improve this or desensitize myself so I can actually start wearing normal clothing again? Also is this normal that its taking a while?
Thanks as always, so greatful for this website.

I’m on day 9 now. I was able to wear clothes a few days after the op. You just need to keep things on so it can desensitise or it won’t mate. Bath in salt water helps
I am 1 week post circumcision now and I started wearing boxers from day 1. It felt terrible for first 3 days but I got used to it now.
Key is to wrap it up with something like toilet paper or some non stick pads , so stitches won't catch anything when your junk moves around while getting up from the bed and walking.
Start desensitizing it now, otherwise you are just postponing the inevitable. Good luck.
Didn't anyone warn you you'd have to go naked for the rest of your life? It's just something you have to get through, sadly but the good news is it does pass as 1, it toughens up and 2, your brain gets used to the new feeling and stops registering it as 'odd'. Me? I bit the bullet and wore loose trousers with no underpants to speed the process up and get it over and done with. The more you protect it the easier it is but the longer it will take. Good luck, I promise it will pass.
Wear boxer-briefs and put a little gauze as a cushion if necessary. I only started wearing regular boxers after 6 weeks. Until then, anything and everything bothered me. Even now in week 8 I sometimes prefer boxer-briefs, especially after sex.
Guys thanks so much for the replies! Yeah I bit the bullet and wore my normal boxers all day and night yesterday, defo a weird and uncomfortable today but like you guys said the sooner I start this process the better. I want to start working out asap so guess this is something that has to happen. Again thanks for all the feedback
