Hmmm. It's a bit quiet on this underwear thread. D'you think everybody's okay?

Odlo do good girl's stuff. Not sure about blokey stuff though--perhaps Rohan? They do knicks with x-static, the silver wicky fabric. And they have a website--can't remember it, but a search on Rohan should turn it up.

Hi I use Sub 4 lycra shorts as I suffer with the same. They are great for stopping the chafing and also keep you cool. Sub 4 also do some thicker ones for winter running. I buy mine from the Sweat shop but all running stores should sell sub 4 kit.

Very good wicking underwear (and other wear!) at Asda in their George lines. Very cheap too.

Treacle Legs: you or your "friend"?

BTW I'm willing to bet that Rohan's website is www.rohan.co.uk

Lots of vaseline or bodyglide on your important bits before you go for a run; nappy rash cream (eg sudacreme (sp?)) for afterwards. Better still, just rub vaseline all over and then stay in for the evening.

I'm sure this has been "aired already" somewhere, but can't find it. What are we blokes supposed to wear underneath lycra shorts? Anything? Nothing? ??
