    I got the Champion C9 duo-dry underwear thingies at Target. There are two types I guess? Love the new ones I got. Loathe the old ones (they dont wick as well)

    The come in 3 inch 6 inch and 9 inch inseam for men. 6 inch minimum to prevent chaffing.

    Running shorts come with a built in liner (Undies). I don't wear anything but the shorts.

    My running shorts have built-in undies... otherwise they're not really "running" shorts. But for runs longer than 60 minutes, I'll use some Bodyglide on the areas prone to chaffing.

    Oddly my running shorts with the liner always gave me a wedgie.

    Fancy undies+ mesh shorts work great for me.

    And unfortunately my mesh are partly see through..so commando..eww.

    I need to look into those. The only every day stuff that works with out giving me wedgie are boyshorts. Bikini's just go ZIP, right into the crack. *grumbles*

    I prefer low-cut boy shorts. They work pretty well at staying down, and not giving me grief.

    Definitely don't go commando when wearing compression capris on a long run on a warm morning, though. Found out the hard way that's just bad news bears.

    LOL.... I had basically the same question, but more of a girl question. How do you wear running pants without getting a "girl wedgie"...

    This. Though if I wear tights (in cold weather) I usually wear underwear with them to prevent Camel Toe.

    I know. I'm weird.

    Compression shorts, I don't like my thighs to chaff.

    Non-running I tend to wear thongs, I find them comfortable. Since I find them so comfortable, I wear them when I run. I very rarely have an issue with them.

    I bought these and love them. http://www.amazon.com/Moving-Comfort-Womens-Workout-Bikini/dp/B003V234HA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1335135411&sr=8-2
    Also have the thong version but I've yet to wear them.

    A girl wedgie?? LOL is that code for camel toe? The better running tights have a built-in gusset that prevents camel toe. Lululemon had a tag line for a while re their tights "Just say NO to camel toe!"

    I don't wear underwear with tights either.

    My grannie panties have always worked fine for me, but I think I will look into some running shorts as they sound a lot more appealing!

    I free ball it.

    I wear lycra-ish capris to prevent chub rub and haven't had any problems

    Commando.

    If you're a guy, wear an athletic supporter. Here's why.

    A guy I used to work with had a slow onset of pain in his midsection. It gradually increased from "ouch, that's strange" to "OMIGOD THAT HURTS I'M GOING TO THE DR BEFORE I DIE!!!!!!" over a few weeks.

    His dr told him to start running with a jock strap. Running without one had strained the connective tissues that keep the testicles attached and their backups, deep in the abdomen, had to share the job and the pain came from them protesting "ya know, I wasn't designed for this"

    A guy's answer:

    Compression shorts. I really like the longer Heat Gear ones from Under Armor, but I struggle to justify spending $30 on a pair of them. I've had the Eastbay equivalents, they're not bad. Bought similar items from Road Runner Sports just recently and hate them. Don't know why, just don't like them.

    "ya know, I wasn't designed for this"

    Err millions of years of freeballing disagree =P


    I've got to say I'll never look at female runners the same now...

    all my running shorts have compression briefs built in. love 'em

    Mine have built in regular briefs. Brooks Sherpa for example.

    In the winter, I wear synthetic compression briefs under warmer clothes.
