The runner on the left is actually in boy shorts/hot pants, not bun huggers.
Again I ask you, can't you see how much more flattering the buns are, and how much more comfortable? Why ever would a female athlete want to compete in shorts? I just don't get it.

Both are flattering in that photo.
You're right Cate. My apologies. Here is the girl on the left, Becca Friday, wearing bun huggers.

hawt.
Should Brenda Martinez be the offical LetsRun bun hugger model?

OMG!
Do you think she goes shopping at the supermarket in bunhuggers?

You are STILL going on this?
Get help.
This was settled 10 pages ago. Your argument falls on its face unless you are willing to also advocate for men being forced to compete in shorts without extra fabric (which ALL men's running shorts have).

If I were Becca I'd be about 1000% happier with these pics than the previous one. And I'd burn the boy shorts.

On the contrary, way back when I saw this thread I said there were two reasons why guys can't run in buns. First, they need more support down there than we do, and can get very serious injuries from being unsupported. And second, because of the differences in anatomy, huggers would be a lot more revealing for them than they are for us. If my boyfriend wore my bun huggers you'd be able to tell he was circumcised. Which would be pretty hot, actually, but not fair for him.

This part is not true. Search "freeballing" in this forum maybe? Most guys probably just use the super thin liners that come in lined running shorts without additional underwear underneath. The liners are loose enough that they don't really support anything. The purpose of the liner is mainly to keep things decent and hidden - otherwise private parts might be visible when the shorts ride up, or when sitting down, or if someone puts a leg up to stretch or something.
I'm 44, and I've owned or used a jock strap. The last I heard of them was around junior high - maybe people wore them back then? I haven't notice them in online running stores or anything like that, though I haven't searched.
edit: I've NEVER owned or used a jock strap.
At 5'11" Alice Schmidt rocks the bun huggers.

Are you kidding? There is nothing attractive here at all

Cate has.

And there, we see what really matters to "Cate."

Please.
Lol who the hell are you? You didn't make any of the arguments that AAA made yet you jumped on the bandwagon and "showed Cate who's boss!" Great job debating there, lol. just gtfo doode.
The only thing that's been proven here is that the people who can't wear bun huggers don't like it forced upon themselves. Is it any surprise that it's only the fastest runners, who are more than likely the most confident of runners, are the ones wearing bun huggers? People who aren't confident enough to wear them feel threatened by the people who are making them wear them, and also feel threatened by the people who like and advocate them.
Everyone just relax. it's okay to not be able to wear or not want to wear something; but that doesn't mean that your choice is the right path for everyone to take. You don't think it's appropriate for girls to wear them. Okay. Its fine you have an opinion, but since when is your opinion the only right way?

I can't believe this thread is still going on but I feel compelled to respond here. I think you have the "problem" backwards. It's rare that people are forced NOT to wear buns; it's common to be forced to wear them. So I completely agree with your premise that everyone needs to relax and wear what's right for them, but it seems at odds with the rest of your post suggesting that people who feel this way are wrong. Cate's arguing that people should be forced to wear buns. I'm arguing they should get the choice. (BTW, you're wrong about it simply being fat people who don't want to wear them. Sure, most overweight girls don't want to wear them, but there are plenty of us who have distance runner bodies who don't want to wear them either.)
Cate, have you worn or seen a pair of racing shorts recently? (I know you're a fan of buns so maybe not :) ) Just what exactly, except for the liner, provides any support? I'm just kind of dumbfounded here and honestly have no clue what the heck you're talking about. Where is this support from shorts? I'm wearing some running shorts right now and the two inches of fabric draped against my thighs, which is what differentiates shorts from buns, are completely unrelated to support. Modesty, sure, but zero support function.
