About TomboyX

When TomboyX cofounders, Fran Dunaway and Naomi Gonzalez, started the company out of their garage, they did so because of one simple fact – they wanted clothing that fit who they are, not who others told them to be. It became very clear very quickly that they were not alone, but the greatest demand turned out to be for comfortable, quality underwear. Think anti Victoria Secret.

TomboyX responded by introducing the first boxer briefs made for a woman’s body and was the first company to work with models from up and down the gender and size spectrum. Focusing on fit, function and inclusivity TomboyX played a leading role in revolutionizing the fashion industry.

Underwear is their primary offering, but TomboyX also carries swimwear, sleepwear, loungewear and active wear. They can be found on Nordstrom.com, Target.com, REI.com and in Kohl’s stores in various cities.

TomboyX is for those who are unafraid to forgo societal standards in order to be who they were meant to be. TomboyX exists to empower unapologetic confidence and has made it their mission to help people feel entirely like themselves. Which is why they fit-test everything they make in every size and shape. Because TomboyX believes that clothing should fit more than just a body, but an individual, regardless of their gender.
