Gentlemen,

What type of underwear do you run in? I'm normally a boxer or a boxerbrief guy but I've noticed while running they chafe a little. Do you guys get separate running underwear or do you just use your every day stuff?

    I wear compression shorts. I've run up to 15 miles with no issues.

    Compression shorts. Once I started using them, I run in nothing but.

    Can be found a sporting good stores, or even department stores like Target and Kohl's -- I get mine at Target, and they run about $9 USD per pair.

    Amazon is a good place to get them too, if you are OK with waiting for shipping.

    i wear under armour running shorts that have this built-in mesh underwear (i have an old navy pair as well that are similar). i guess what i'm saying is that i don't wear any underwear when i run hahaha...

    I'm still a novice when it comes to running. For me thoughI've noticed though the underwear doesn't matter as much as making sure I'm wearing shorts/sweats that don't hang too low in the crotch. That's when the bare skin rubs and...ouch...

    I only run when, I didn't hear the bell on the Ice cream truck the first time.

    Either running shorts with built in ones, or UA heat gear 6" undies. They are really nice when I have regular shorts on.

    Thanks for all the great advice. Time to go shopping I guess.
