RW Test: Sports Briefs

I recommend Sweaty Betty's ones. £12

They come in hot pink as well as black and white

Why pay twelve quid for a pair of knickers when you can go commando for free?

I see no point in wearing an extra layer and doing extra washing.

Unless like me you need something to stop your inner thighs chafing! I wear lycra under shorts; probably the best are the Nike ones, but they seem hard to find now and are expensive. The Sloggi underwear look like they may be worth a try though.

Anyone know where you can buy the Sloggi sports short from? Can't find a product with that name anywhere and the "Active" range at Sloggi doesn't look like the picture in the magazine. Runners World, can you help? Was this last year's range or something?

Primark seamless underwear.  £3 for 2 pairs (I think) brilliant.

Yeah, RW??? I'm with SV on this one - can't find Sloggi sports short anywhere - certainly not on Sloggi site or on Google. What's going on? Is this a rehashed and repeated review/ article from previous years for a product that doesn't exist anymore?? Or is it a groundbreaking review for an article of clothing that Sloggi don't know they've made yet?

I'm with Wilkie on this.  A bit of Bodyglide will prevent chafing.

Commando and Bodyglide every time

This stops chafing - used by a lot of racing cyclists

Adam here from deadgoodundies (company that provided the jockey short in the article)

The Sloggi sports short was from the Spring 2009 collection  BUT here is the rub in that it was only available in the UK from us as normally the most interesting ones from Sloggi for men don't get taken into the UK (and we did a special order).

If we had known that Runners World would of been including them in their article we would of ordered more (we only provided them with the jockey) but as it is we've totally run out of them now

We do still have some sizes in of the Mid briefversion

At the moment im in talks with Sloggi to see if we can get anymore in, normally we wouldn't be able to as only a certain amount are made and once they run out that's it but after seeing the article I thought no harm in asking if the interest is there for them.

Anyway i've asked Sloggi the question and fingers crossed will hear back soon, if we can get them in they usually take a couple of weeks to arrive so if you are interested keep checking back on our site www.deadgoodundies.com OR if you subscribe to our newsletter you will get a notification as soon as they are back into stock (enter email at bottom of our sites page to subscribe)

Edit: Ok just heard back from Sloggi. Non in the UK for us to have, they are trying Europe next. will keep you posted

I wear Sloggi thongs. It seems that these are now a discontinued item.

Not all of my running shorts allow for camando - my capris most definately do not and I wear them most often. (mesh panel, you can see through).

Last time I was in Belguim I bought a selection of knickers from a cycle store in a vast range of colours - I'm a complete sop when it comes to undies.  Oh, and they were for kids, most adult clothing just doesn't fit me. unless Nora Baty stle comes into fashion.

Where's the mesh panel BM, surely not in the crotch area?!!  If its just side, doesn't matter
Posted: 11/06/2009 at 16:10

Of course it's in the crotch area. Maximum breathability.

Ok update on the Sloggi sports shorts.

I've managed to get more of them but it's really a small amount and this is after getting sloggi to scour both their European and Russian distro centers for them.

 I've literally got 

1 X small (32")

2 x medium (34")

1 x large (36")

2 x Extra large (38")

1 x XX large (40")

I've got a email list of people I need to contact as well who were asking about them so they might only last a few minutes.
