October: We wanted to offer special pricing for our International customers. So a flat shipping rate came along, along with coupon codes we have offered different UK, AUS< and other communities, our reasonable pricing comes down even further. We also have free shipping for 1st Class US customers. If you want it quicker, you still have the option to sending it out Priority for a low cost. I only charge actual shipping charges.  I hope to have these shipping options on the site thru the fall and maybe thru the holidays. You can always contact me directly via email to ask about current discount codes. I am always willing to offer up any current codes we have running. Especially for our return customers, we offer a code on each packing slip to give you a special rate for return purchases.These codes are for all of our stock items. If it is listed as "special order" I cannot offer a discount, as I don't control the pricing of these items. We work hand and hand with TSW enterprises and offer some of their products, harness' and jockstraps, and we stock those items on our shelves. Please always make a comment on your order if you have special needs in your packing underwear. If you want your packer to ride higher or lower, (our pouches are standard length 7") I am more than happy to make it to fit your needs, just note this in the comment section on each item.

September 2011: IMHO: It's all in a name...or label...or pronoun: It's a new world, in the year 2011, the awakening of trans-youth to find the courage to come out, to their families, friends, school mates and the world at large. Unlike generations before, stealth is not necessarily the method of which these new youngsters live or want to live their lives. Third gender, gender queer, gender variant is eeking it's way out as well. Jumping away from the gender binary, not feeling the force of having to choose, they can now claim they live in the lives of both genders. This claim, this ability to make choices and not feel they have to live in one or the other gender, no matter what sex their body was born into, is the new pirate generation. Rabble rousers among the older generation who lay the path that gave them the ability to stake these claims. Some eyeball this with disdain, with the "how dare you?" and want them to choose, to lay claim to the trans-man or trans-woman label. Yet, this is not how or who they are. It's become a political chaotic conversation among the trans community. Where you land on the gender spectrum is no one's journey but your own. No one can name or label or live your life, and if there is no pronoun that matches who you are does not make you less of a human, or part of the community. It only means you are ahead of terminology and it will eventually catch up, and then  you too, will have layed down the path for those who will follow, just like those ahead of you.

July 2011:  So we are at about the 8 month mark of owning this business and I have to say it is and has been an amazing opportunity for me as a person and as a trans person in the community. The internet makes it so that people can feel safe ordering our products from the safety of their home, since I know so many areas in this world, let alone families, are not open or diverse enough to understand the TG world. My goal operating TranZwear is to offer security and confidence in packing. To allow each person to feel comfortable for what feels right for them. My products and what I hope, my positive customer service, gives each person the ability to choose what is right for them. Customizing each product helps me send each item on it's way with a personal service attached. Quality product, customer service are  dying arts unfortunately, and I can only hope that what I offer renews peoples faith in all of that again, especially with products as private as boxers and swimwear. Enjoy the rest of your summer....and pack with confidence!.....Den

So today we went live with our new partnership with FTMJockwear! We are now carrying the FTMJockwear's Pack N'Strap Jockstrap. We are the only FTM/Trans web store carrying this product. TSW has created a proven quality product that is being raved about all over the sites, and is a perfect complimentary item to go along with the items the TranZwear is already carrying. We will be having a booth at SF Pride in June and will have all sorts of special Pride Month combination of products available only at the booth for the two day weekend. Of course, we will have our friendly manikins displaying both our boxers and the Pack N Strap Jockstrap with packers so that everyone can see how natural it looks from the outside, as well as feel the comfortable fabric that is used to produce all of our products. We are happy to be part of an alliance the supports the GLBTQI community both individually and as a community.

I heard from a customer today about how his packer and new trunks made him feel like a new man, he wanted to wash them every night so he could wear them every day. Feeling good in one's skin is such an important factor to self esteem and to being able to keep your eyes forward in your path. I am happy that our products help contribute to this feeling for some folks. Our goal is to provide a quality product to fill a gap that is not available anywhere else.  But the key piece for me is that I can support my community one person at a time, while also donating where and when I can to help out in the bigger picture. My own journey has taken a long winding path to land me right where I have always known I would be, smack in the middle. Being born in a female body, and having a male gender makes us genderqueer folks a unique group. I am happy to have my female history and traits, and my male gender attributes make a great blend of human I have grown to accept. As they say, the best of both worlds. I can't deny those parts of me, my history and experience make me who I am today.  I present as male publicly, since people have to put you in a box. they just have a need to categorize. It is easier since they no longer stumble with ":Uh sir, uh ma'am".  I understand that my FTM brothers need that 100% male identity to be able to move forward, I salute your efforts and hard work to make that happen for yourselves.  Comfort in your skin....is a key element for us all.

Today I calculated the totals from my sales for the month of February so that I could calculate how much TranZwear is donating to Lyon Martin (see my Community page) I am proud to announce that I will be writing a check for $350 to Lyon Martin, to help them continue to serve the trans community here in San Francisco. Thanks to you, my customers,  thru your loyal support of TranZwear, you become a partner in providing donations and support to our communities. Keep watch for our next community donation.

TranZwear is a small niche market business aimed at the trans, genderqueer and FTM community, although butches, bois, and drag kings are among my customers as well.  I bought this business from a trusted friend and businessman. I have grand thoughts of slowly growing the business and giving back into the community as I am able. I naively never thought I would run into other folks in the community whose behavior and actions would bring negative and divisive trouble into my world. Over what I ask myself? My theory is that there is plenty of room for our small businesses, no matter what product is being sold. As well as loving running this company, I will also protect it with all my might. My integrity and responsibility to the community is very important to me. A note to those who want to try to divide the community by trash talking about other business owners on their public websites,  WE WON'T TOLERATE IT. Everyone knows that some people work very hard at ego based self fulfillment while at the same time attempting to pull others down. Apparently there is a history of this, and maybe since I am new to the block, I am now a target. But I share mutual support with both the community at large and individuals. My record speaks for itself. Don't let negative, unethical people do harm, ignore their BS and know that there are many of us who stand strong to protect our community and our businesses.  TSW and TRANZWEAR have formed an alliance to provide support and quality products to our community through honest and respectable business practices and ethics.

I thought this was worth putting in here for a bit of humor....WTF? What is a non-gender child I ask? LOL'.
