Do you wear underwear while running?

No. I free ball 24/7.

The term is underwears. Gosh you people are uneducated.

When you mention it, I guess that's just life....

I used to wear cotton underwear until I noticed that within a short period of time I would get holes in the fabric due to sweat and such. Now I wear running shorts with a liner and that's worked out very well.

Boxers while running? That has to be uncomfortable...

Only boxers I've ever used while running were athletic boxer briefs from UA, which OK, but not ideal. Not really a boxer brief guy while working out. OK for street/work clothes.

I prefer the original Asics ASX briefs (not the new ones), or Runderware briefs.

Only time I wear underwear is for leggings, capris, or half tights while working out/running.

For split shorts, I let the liner do it's thing.

Otherwise I hate boxers... never liked them.

Go with these. They feel good, fit is perfect, breathable and comfortable. No one knows! Don't buy that expensive bulky mens crap.

Are you a woman (that drives a stick shift F150)?

I'm sure there are other great options as well, but my favorite are Saxx. Worth checking out if you prefer wearing underwear while running.

No underwear. The running shorts have a liner, yeah? No underwear with running tights either??

Heck, I don’t even wear underwear to class half the time

I wear Nike 2-1 shorts with the compression inner. However under the compression inner I also wear synthetic material pants to avoid any rubbing.

Whilst I don't get any chafing, I have noticed that the Nike compression inner is wearing away / getting holes / coming away at the seams a lot quicker than they used to. Could it be due to friction between the synthetic pant and the compression shorts?

Definitely! ?

Why in the world would you wear boxers? That's dumb.

A few years ago I got a hernia so I bought a speedo to wear under my running shorts until I got the surgery. I never stopped wearing speedos during runs it because it keeps my big boy and the family jewels dry and tight. O heyah.

Just started using some underwear (boxer) I was gifted for christmas, and they're chafing to the point where I get burns on the inside of my thighs.

I'm gonna test going commando and see if that works, if not I'll have to get something proven.

What do you guys prefer? Underwear or no underwear?

2-1 running shorts are they way to go.

Have found Under Armour has a seam though that will rub the sack usually.

Liking the Brooks Cascadia pairs I just got.

Sugoi Titan 2-1 as well but the back pocket sucks ass.

After extensive testing I've realized underwear-free running in shorts with a liner is the way to go.

Personally the liners don't cut it for me. I've tried several styles from several brands and none of the liners secure the twig and berries well enough. I wear quarter length compression briefs underneath and they do the trick.

The liners in some running shorts can be too baggy, too tight, or cause chafing. Often, to get the right fit in the outer garment, the inner lining wouldn't fit me. It was frustrating.

So, about 10 years ago, I started cutting out the lining in my running shorts and wearing high tech sports briefs instead... typically, Asics. That way I could get the perfect fit in both pieces of apparel.

Then, I figured that boxer briefs might be warmer in winter because they were longer. I've tried performance boxer briefs from Adidas, RBX, Russell, Reebok, Puma, UnderArmor, Champion, and Hanes... all bought at TJ Maxx at far below retail. Fit is a personal preference so I can't recommend one brand over the other, but I'll point out that some materials were far warmer than others. They are WAY BETTER than regular liners in the winter. Since you can mix and match, you can avoid the dreaded "tights under shorts" look that gets panned here every winter.

Finding boxer briefs that are cool in summer is a challenge. Some brands offer a micro mesh material that is alleged to be cool in the summer. I've tried a few. Reebok's short boxer brief in this material is pretty cool, but not quite as cool as the Asics performance brief I've used for years.

The great thing about this approach is that you can pair up the perfect fit in inner and outer garments. Another plus is that you can also buy linerless shorts for $9.95 to $20 almost anywhere and use them as running shorts.

God, if they're so uncomfortable, why do you still wear them. Just get other ones. Personally, I prefer either shapewear or no underwear. I just got used to this and I don't remember last time I wore a normal pair of boxers. I get most of my shapewear on https://wowshapers.com and it's very comfortable. I'm a freethinker so wearing no underwear it's also common for me, and I don't see anything bad about it. I'm sure more and more people start thinking like me and do not care about the patterns.

only with tights. all my running shorts have liner in them.
