One for the boys

โ€ข28 Replies

The girls have always posted advice and hints and tips for their running underwear, what works what doesn't..... Who says we boys can't do the same ๐Ÿค“..

I was recently watching a utube runner I sometimes catch up on and, it was all about " runderwear" super comfy seamless wicking man-pants๐Ÿ‘.. fast forward three weeks later, called into up and running to collect my compression sleeves and the youngest announced,

" Oh dad weren't you looking at these the other day" and yep she waving a box of the adore mentioned pants under my nose ๐Ÿ™ˆ..... Turns out wrong size but they did have Ronhill running underwear same sort of thing different brand ( a brand I actually like and use for other running clothes).

In the basket monies exchanged deal done.

Anyway two runs in and well what a successful purchase, yep the old body glide does a good job but with the added layer of shiny new wicking pants running has reached a whole new comfort level, more so than before .....๐Ÿ™ˆ Minus underwear. I'd definitely 110% recommend a pair ๐Ÿค— happy bits happy running happy me

And moreso another run today using the compression sleeves, no calf niggles so hopefully all's good phew

Happy running you lot... stay safe

Glad your compression sleeves are working and the underwear. Nothing worse in being uncomfortable, especially down there ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ‘

Now to go and look for the womens equivalent ๐Ÿ˜Š

Cheers Buddy, I'd definitely recommend Ronhill as a brand really nice easy to get along with clothing ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ‘

Try Hoo-Ha Ride Glide (I kid you not!). I use it for cycling and it really helps with chafing...

Probably won't help you much, not sure you have the correct attributes! My reply was meant for Buddy34 but I added it to the wrong comment, duh! :)

Keeping the old block and tackle under control is always a good move. ๐Ÿคฃ

Ronhill - Sounds like it does exactly what it says on the tin!

Sounds good, Iโ€™m going to look out for a pair of Mens Running Apple Catchers next time Iโ€™m in a sports shop, anything that can make me run quicker, Iโ€™m up for that๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜‚

Those boys in the met will stick a fixed penalty notice anywhere it seems ๐Ÿ˜†
