Forums >Gears and Wears>When compression shorts don't, well, compress enough
On the road again...
I've always worn Nike 2-in-1 shorts (compression liner under outer shorts) and have liked them, but the last pair I got don't seem to be quite snug enough where they need to be. Any suggestions for more comfort on longer runs? Jock strap?
I write. I read. I run. One time, I ran a lot on my 50th birthday.

Well, this thread should be fun, huh? Get your material ready...

I like the ones asiscs makes. They are really good. Can use them for running or swimming. I don't like the liner thing. Feels to girly but I am also a tommy hilfger sports boxer underwear guy. My boys like to be snug and hugged.

I think that's the problem, though. Maybe too much freedom causes too much motion and too much chafing?
I think chafing comes from the inner thighs rubbing together, not your manbits getting caught up in the mix. Your boys would have to be hanging pretty low for that and I think you would notice a smashing and mangling of the twins well before chafing.

I agree, but sometimes on the really long runs I get very uncomfortable just below the place where the guys hang out. Chafing may not be the right word, but something doesn't feel good.
Maybe you've gotten thinner, go to the next smaller size shorts?
That might be the issue. I did order the same size as last time, but I've dropped a bit since then. The inner compression layer is definitely not as tight as it seemed before.

not compression shorts, but work great ( and are cheap)
