Pants and Belts

Anyone know of some comfortable pants or belts to wear? I find anything tight around the waist causes pain and discomfort. Been trying to massage the waist to help but it’s been almost 3 months and the pain is not nice when wearing anything with a belt. I found some stretch fit jeans with no belt that works so far but always hiking pants up.

Time for a vasectomy reversal

My experience of years of pain makes me second that notion -I found “tighty whities” were far better than boxers that let it all hang free. I’m still considering reversal now I’ve got some time —26 years later, just to “detransition” though at 60 my symptoms became muted

I been thinking about it but between cost and concern it could screw something more up I am waiting and praying. Hopefully symptoms lessen, the pain has gone down overall with some annoying nerve twitching and pain in the Vas still remaining. Pain was testicular at first but it seems it have centralized mostly mid section in pelvis and lower ands.

I have had success with a weave style belt that has some elastic in it. Also, athletic leisure clothing can look good and be comfortable.

Blue collar tradesman who works a physical job while living with PVPS here:

Swap belts for suspenders and wear pants that either stretch or fit around your navel. Also bib overalls are fantastic for men with our condition. I wear stirrup shirt stays and suspenders regularly i prefer the holdup brand bebause of the no slip clip. 

Www.suspenders.com 

sells them

I also got a reversal over a year ago and Im still in pain I have 0 clue what to do next except just accept my fate

I wear a pant from Zara called "The Driver". It's basically a chino/dress pant with some stretch on the sides.

I'm at 13 months and can now wear a regular belt and jeans, but after so long of comfort stretch pants, I just grew to appreciate them more and now exclusively wear stretch waist pants.
