Hi all - for those gentleman (sorry ladies) who wear only tights for the winter - what brands are you using? I have a nike pair right now that feels fine but the seams make my balls bleed. I don't like that.
Thank you!

You might look for a pair of windbriefs, they will protect your junk from the seam and the wind.

Are you wearing compressions underneath the tights? If not that might be your problem. Otherwise I'm not sure, I have always liked the Nike tights and compressions because I like keeping my junk in one place, but I've heard Under Armour tights are a bit roomier down there.
I usually free ball it but even vaseline or body glide doesn’t seem too help. I get about 75 minutes into the run and each step becomes painful, and even more so when I shower afterwards. Will try this out soon
I got some Russell Dri power 360 from Walmart. They seem to work good and are inexpensive. Like the other poster said, a brief under the tights (as long as not cotton), works well. You know, those tighter polyester blends either short boxer or briefs. I wear tights when it looks like rain, but just wear cotton sweats with the briefs when dry- and like them better.
They also have some nice looking running pants at Walmart, knitted that are tighter than sweats, but not as tight as tights. ? Anyway, they have a "European" cut, and are poly. I like cotton next to the skin of my legs in the Winter-it don't have a cold feeling, and the poly briefs wick the moister into the sweats so it can evaporate- and keeps the cotton from chafing tender parts. You can do the same with a tight poly tee to protect the nips.
I often wear split shorts under my tights. Helps with the rubbing and if its really cold, prevents the dreaded dick freeze.
I don't wear tights but the Saucony Boston running pants kick ass. I wear my regular boxer-brief underwear with them. Perfect comfort.

TSLA (formerly Tesla tights). Best bang for your buck and more comfortable than big name stuff.
thanks all - it is sacrilegious to wear compression briefs under gear in cycling (my background) and I assumed this i the case in running - happy to hear it is not! My balls thank you all.
Getting the "best bang for your buck"; isn't that the OP's core issue?
