Going Commando... - General running

Hi,

I was wondering if people tend to wear underwear beneath their running shorts when they run marathons?

Or do running shorts by themselves offer (erh, how should I put this...) adequate support when running?

wouldn't you like to know ;o)

i only wear undies for shorts without the netting inside.....so usually go commando.

I go cavalry; it's similar to going commando but my shorts tend to ride up a bit.

I prefer a supportive undergarment - I subscribe to the idea of a place for everything and everything in its place.

I go commando under my short tights and they hold everything where it should be. On a long run I recommend vaseline in your crack to avoid chafing.

I think DavidB has hit upon one of my two concerns: an unrequested public guest appearance by my best friend...

Also I'm worried that the swinging might affect my stride...

try running across the rural area I live going commando and the term balls and monkeys comes to mind!

Just bunched up knickers William! (Dr Nic starts to look a bit embarrassed) Just if they ride up/down/move about and are all sweaty - just an extra layer you don't need.

Cycling shorts a different matter - need all the layers I can get.
