You know you're serious about running when........

[Pete1w]

Well I bought some running pants today. Seriously. I'm not entirely sure what they do but they are pants for running. Maybe they hold everything together in a special and magical way????

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10]

Well you’ll need to report back and tell us (in not too much detail) Pete! 😅😅🏃🏃

[Oldfloss Administrator 60minGraduate]

They do.. well the women's ones do Sleek and lean and keen

[Sadie-runs Graduate10]

I’ve got two words to say to you. Sweat. Wicking. 👍😁

[Jell6 Graduate10]

Do you mean like trousers, or are we in the realms of knickers/undercrackers ?😊

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

Some of the ladies swear by runderwear but I’ve never tried it. But I did buy some microfibre knickers from M&S (other shops are available) and they are great. I guess yours will be a similar fabric. No cotton knickers for my running now.

[Sadie-runs Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

I would not be without my Runderwear undercrackers. 😁

[MutleyShuffle Graduate10 in reply to Sadie-runs]

Must look this up! 😁

[Hidden in reply to Dexy5]

I have the cheap as chips version from decathlon, or runners need (can't remember). they do the job - no wedgies so far ... (men are not the only ones with tackle that needs tucking - don't get me started on shock absorber bras)

[telford_mike Graduate10]

Never knew there was such a thing 🤔. Suppose I'll have to take a look next time I'm in there 😍

[Hidden]

Sorry if this is TMI, but are you talking trousers or underwear?? I have some fairly light weight running pants from Aldi which are good, some jogging bottoms which are way too warm, but not explored the whole runderwear phenomenon yet, though I may have to, always good to keep the guys in order, right? 😂

[UpTheStanley Graduate10]

All my shorts have built in knicks, but the longs don't - and yes, "keeping the guys in order" comes strongly recommended

[BarbieW Graduate10]

Americans call what we would call trousers, pants. What we would call pants are I think the sort of underwear you guys wear under your trousers (I think females choose between pants and knickers depending on who we are talking too!)

Obviously substitue the right running gear words in the appropriate places in this statement!

[Pete1w]

They are indeed pants as in pants and not pants as in trousers ( although I bought some winter leggings too). So on these chilly mornings everything will be comfortably snug and warm.

[Sandraj39 Graduate10]

I think they aim to reduce chafing! (some suffer, some don't!). Maybe they will make you run faster...?😉

[Hidden]

Are we talking granny style knickers, like my running knickers, or do you mean leggings???

[Mayanow]

What colour-s? 😁

[Pete1w in reply to Mayanow]

They are a very (un)tasteful green colour..

[Pete1w]

I can happily report that the pants (that's pants as in pants and not pants as in trousers) have done the job. On my return everything appears to be intact and in the correct position. Thank you all for your kind concern as to the well being of my gentleman area 😁😁😁😁

[MutleyShuffle Graduate10 in reply to Pete1w]

😂😂😂

[misswobble Graduate10]

I shelled out for merino ladies boxers to cover my hips and lower back during my winter marathon, after finding those area felt well frozzen on longer training runs. They’re gorgeous Don’t want to taken em off once on. Roll on spring

They look great not - at all blokey😁.

[MutleyShuffle Graduate10 in reply to misswobble]

Oh dear, just when I'm thinking my running wardrobe must now be complete, it seems I need to look up runners' knickers! Got to have the complete outfit! 😁

[Tony_68 in reply to MutleyShuffle]

I think I will look into this I have been running commando style in shorts but I have observed extreme shrinkage this week 😁

[Pete1w in reply to Tony_68]

Gotta get em covered this weather. I don't think it's a good idea to have em jiggling about. I didn't realize that's pants could generate such a debate.........

[misswobble Graduate10]

You don’t have to. Full size ladies pants should be fine. I like Debenhams ones We’ve discussed this before, so I bet a search using the keywords in the search box should bring up chapter and verse 😃

[ju-ju- Graduate10]

Where is the pic?

[Pete1w in reply to ju-ju-]

Now THAT is something you don't want to see. 😲😲😲😲
