When you were wearing your boxer shorts you had a bigger modesty problem than just your lower butt cheeks showing. Compression shorts are overkill for running and gym. A lightweight athletic supporter is much cooler, literally and figuratively. Why did these things ever go out of favor?
Response:
I usually wear a jockstrap with briefs – more support. I see other guys doing the same thing. I just started mountain biking and the first time out I just wore briefs under my shorts – my balls were all over the place. The next day, I wore a jock and briefs and they felt great – no pain at all.
Response:
No need to wear anything to cover your butt. Just wear the jockstrap under your shorts. No briefs or boxers needed. Cooler that way too. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -raj…@gmail.com wrote: > I was once jogging on a treadmill and my boxer rode up – and needless > to say it was very painful.

A jock strap is specifically designed to hold your genitals snugly in place; briefs don’t necessarily do that for you. And a jock strap can be cooler under shorts. > I think I’ll buy a jockstrap simply because I could wear it under my > boxers.

Jock strap and running shorts is a comfortable combination. > I was also recommended compression shorts, but they seem very expensive > – not worth the cost.
Compression shorts help reduce muscle fatigue. This can be important if you’re playing a sport like hockey, basketball, or football. And for competitive treadmill-jogging, I’d say they’re indispensible. ;-) — Jockwoof <jockwoof at timberwoof dot com> jocks: http://www.timberwoof.com/jockwoof/ charter: http://www.timberwoof.com/jockwoof/charter.shtml FAQ: http://www.timberwoof.com/jockwoof/faq.shtml

I was once jogging on a treadmill and my boxer rode up – and needless to say it was very painful. The gym instructor suggested that I wear briefs or a jockstrap. Just wondering – for cardio, cycling, basketball, soccer and weight training, what’s the benefits of wearing a jockstrap over briefs? I think I’ll buy a jockstrap simply because I could wear it under my boxers. But briefs seems to be cheaper and I don’t need to wear an additional underwear to cover my butt… Just asking. I was also recommended compression shorts, but they seem very expensive – not worth the cost.
