    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.

    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.

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

    would that make it a Vedgie? lol
