Hi everyone,

Is there anything wrong with running with compression shorts everytime you run?

    I can't run without compression shorts. Keeps things tucked away and the legs from getting chaffed.

    Nothing wrong with it. I would think they would get hot if you wore them all of the time in the summer, but whateva. Personally, I only wear mine if I go more than about 12 miles. I don't have to worry about applying body glide or whatever. No chafing. Of course, I always put my runners shorts on top. If you don't, then they probably wouldn't be so hot for you.

    I wish the guy that lives in my town would wear compression shorts, he wears track shorts with no underwear and every time he goes by I can see his twig and berries. I see more berries in the summer..... berries hang so low when it's warm out. *shudders*

    Wow. I don't always wear my compression shorts, but my running shorts are not the short kind. That's so 70's! I have longer running shorts. My wedding tackle remains unseen...

    I wore them when I used to play basketball to keep things in place and never had a problem. I think the only time you'd have problems is if you were a marathon runner and "compressed" things for hours a day.
