Quoted message said:i want to start running a bit to lose some weight, i am going the
mega-cheap route(walmart). i got some really cheap shoes and some cheap
polyester mesh shorts. do i need to wear underwear with the shorts?
they dont have a built in brief or anything, but all i have is cotton
briefs and boxers and the white cotton briefs seem to defeat the
breathability of the shorts. im only gonna be running in the dark (
around 2am ). i might get some real running shorts later, but till
then... what do u think
I find that running shorts alone are fine if they have the built-in
mesh. Without that though I would go with briefs. But the running shorts
are far superior. However, most of us don't notice how good cotton is at
absorbing and suppressing odor - so I basically try to get in the shower
immediately after my run, just before I stop sweating, and rinse the shorts
out well and hang them to dry. Makes the laundry pile less offensive.
YMMV.
(I even re-use the shorts without major issue if they were rinsed really
well - avoids doing laundry 3 times per week if you only have 2 pairs of
shorts, but don't tell my gf).
I might be going to far by making this statement, but I've also found
that trimming the hair in that area back about 50% makes a tremendous
all-around comfort improvement.
