Best advice is to experiment a bit with different brands and styles, although this can get pricey. I usually wear the basketball length shorts, and have some with and with out liners. When I go without the liners, I usually wear cotton tighty whities, low rise edition. Yeah, it gets a little swampy down there, but in the SC summers, the wicking stuff does, too.

I just wear the running shorts with the liner. Nothing additional is needed. MTA: Just saw Page 1. Try some other brands and see if something else works better. Or... what everybody else said.

Wow, alot of information here. I'm going to go look at the Merona brand. A quick look I found a lot of hits and they looked like all winter/wool stuff, but I think I've got a narrowed down, just didn't feel comfortable sitting here at work with the web page of men in underwear on my screen. I've tried compression shorts and although they felt great on the legs, I couldn't stand the sweat which they seemed to make a lot worse. I've tried commando style and that didn't work for me. And Peter/PWL, Running skirts might be becoming popular, but I think I'll pass onthat one. And Karen/Kiki2, My girlfriend also suggested panties to me, telling me that they're much lighter etc, but I think I'll pass on that as well. Jay

Yep...commando. Use more Glide

Pass and pass, how come? I looked at the Moreno style and most of them weren't much different than the panties I wear, but mine are cheaper. I also noticed, that they all say Cotton which you said you didn't like. http://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=merona+briefs&tag=yahhyd-20&index=aps&hvadid=17763463511&ref=pd_sl_6n8dqswgza_b Now the link from Runnerclay is quite interesting. I've never seen a guy in a thong before. Not that I'm niave, just have never seen one that I can recall and I think I'd remember something like that.

I'll have to check these out at Targets, sounds cheap enough and easy enough to give it a try or at least look at them. Thanks Jay

I've become a big fan of the target/champion tech brief/underwear. They're only 5 or 6$, too. I recently did my first run in tri shorts, though, and I could see becoming a convert to that.

Target carries some Champion brand fitted boxers in some sort of tech fabric. They aren't too long, so they might work. I don't run in them, but wear them for other activities. They're <$10. you="" might="" also="" consider="" bike="" shorts.="" i="" run="" in="" them=""></$10.>

+1 on the Target C9 compression boxers. They are great on long runs. Although 99% of the time I wear nothing under the shorts.

"Not some Girly Boy", but all Man! Wow where did that come from? If a man wears anything that belongs to a woman, then he must be a "girly boy"? I guess then all of us women who wear anything that belongs to a man must be "Manly girls"

I'll pass because I'm all man, not some girly boy pretending to be a man.
