I have in the past praised the effects of my boxer shorts which have lycra squidged into the weave. It holds "The Boys" in place. At least...THEY USED TO!
Now recently, I've had a groin injury. Not fun. Since recovering I have read about compression shorts. "They sound like what I need" I thought. "A really tight fitting pair of lycra shorts that will grip my thighs like leeches and take hold of Tom ,Dick and Harry and secure them in place so they don't even bloomin' move!"
I bought two pairs from Sports Direct today. Large. Cos that's what it said my size was. I have just tried them on and to be honest, they feel the same as my boxers in terms of "tightness".
Should I change them for "medium"? What I'm after is a reeeeeally tight grip around the crown jewels, but would something that TIGHT be dangerous on my groin and my.........you know?.......My......yes those! (blushing).
So come chaps! If you have any stories relating to securing the "Love Potatoes" then please spill the beans!
If you're a lady reading this....... STOP BLOODY LAUGHING!

You do realise Dan that as soon as you say "for guys only" all us lovely ladies will be reading and yes, bloody well laughing!!!
The same way you men cant resist a peek when we post about bras, knickers and other things relating to our lady bits!!! Its all fun though but no cant help you I'm afraid!!
Now enjoying my tea and choc chip cookie with a smile on my face!
It was an open invitation as far as I'm concerned. Huh 'crown jewels' indeed I do hope you get some good advice tho Dan you deserve help regarding this very serious subject.
Come on Dan, you wanted us ladies to read this otherwise you wouldn't have told us not to! You are awful. But we like you. You are definitely in my next book.
Sue, RW -- he definitely qualifies as Old Gang, agreed?
Delia's spot on... No way any sensitive male is going to post on here after you title it 'Ladies Don't Read This'!
Looking at the Sports Direct website I reckon you need an Extra Small version of the
Nike Pro Combat Hyperstrong Compression Slider Shorts (Combat? Slider?) or, for the especially image-conscious, the Nike Pro Combat HyperCool Shorts in a tasteful fluorescent yellow.
Perhaps you should send Mrs Dan out on an urgent mission to find the product that will keep the family jewels tight and warm. It's a win-win situation - you both benefit...
PS. UnderArmour is good (but not overly tight in the Love Potatoes {? New? Baked?] area)
My husband wants to know why I'm shaking with laughter. Love all the comments. In a minute I will have the strength to go to kitchen & prepare dinner. Need to stop shaking before I handle the knives - sorry shouldn't have mentioned those bearing (or not bearing) in mind the subject.
I'm such a klutz! I should have realised that telling the delightful LADIES of this forum to not read something was like asking a bear to NOT ***t in the woods!!
Latest news....Mrs Dan says "Dan, just get yourself a jockstrap!"........ AS IF!
Oh my.... what a fun 5 minutes I've had reading through this..... hilarious! On a serious note though, how about two pairs of boxers at the same time! I have found that wearing my normal bra, with a sports' bra over the top, stops my puppies from misbehaving in a way that no other sports bra arrangement has managed to! Just a suggestion!

A question for the gentlemen
Base Layer question for the C25K boys!!
Is wearing shorts in this weather bad for health long term?
