I need some new underwear...(seriously)

We both have some of the Polarmax AYG and like them.

sometimes i just wrap bandages around my thighs or stick maxi pads to my thighs. Maxi pads also make really comfortable insoles for your shoes and act like odor eaters. Man...i should publish a book

Lol I was going to say...someone should create a manpon

Shaving + grease works great, depending on the quality of the grease. When I was an 18thC re-enactor I portrayed a Cherokee (we were short on real Indians and they asked me to join them if I would do it right - I did, both) and they shaved or plucked out all body hair and only kept a scalplock on their heads. You just can't fake it because when you paint up for war with bear grease mixed with pigments, even a small amount of body hair makes you look like a young porcupine. Anyway, while shaving I couldn't seem to find a good stopping place at the crotch so I just shaved all over (I had a very good stick/glue-on scalplock). I found the crotch shaving idea miserable in everyday clothing because everything stuck to everything it touched, until I realized that the Cherokee rubbed bear grease all over their bodies. Stuff lasts until you wash it off either by hard scrubbing or soap and water. I wore the proper loincloth which was 6' long but only 9-10" wide (you learn how to tuck it to keep from visually tea-bag people), and even though they're made of stiff, heavy wool they are comfortable. Bear grease can be found on the Net or through re-enactment forums as some states allow it to be sold, and it was pretty much the WD-40 of the eastern tribes. Can't beat it for gun grease, my Bess was "in the white" and it never, ever rusted. Felt sorry for the authentic Brits who had to scrub their barrels with brick dust every day to keep them bright.

Now, that's probably more than you wanted to know about backwoods 18thC America, and about me.

I've held off getting into "performance" underwear, but there was a hot spell coming, I knew I'd be working long days outside, and I was at WalMart. I happened to notice they're now carrying Starter branded performance underwear - can't recall their name - but i figured for $10, they couldn't hurt.

Now, I've got no experience at all with anything but run of the mill boxer briefs (been wearing them for about 12 years or so) but after a 10 hour day out in 90+ heat and miserable humidity, I've got to admit there's a big difference. So much that I bought two more pairs, and I'm going to buy a pair a month until I replace all my old underwear.

Something ive been interested in for a while but havent pulled the trigger on yet. Good old moisture wicking for Hanes comfort waist band unnerwears + Anti Monkey Butt Powder is all Ive really needed.

I was checking out some undies at REI.com and UA dosen't look that expensive anymore. Smartwool makes some $40 skivvies.

Smartwool or Icebreakers use Merino Wool, which is amazing stuff. While yes it is more expensive it has great properties that make it out perform other materials. I would suggest looking into merino wool clothing, while expensive it is one of the best clothing materials available and worth the prices.

Personally if I could afford it I would buy pretty much only merino wool clothes. I have been slowly buying merino wool socks replacing my other socks with merino wool only.

Next is my undies and shirts.

[Resolute]

Also, Merino wool is a natural fire retardant (though the skinny undies wouldn't provide much protection), and it won't melt on to you like poly undies will. Small perk, but a perk nonetheless.

I am current deployed to Afghanistan and I stumbled across the SAXX company. Their underwear actually has fabric that will go between your thighs and the kibble and bits. They are really comfortable and are a lot like the underarmor underwear cept for the dividers. the Elites are the best ones but they have other kinds. http://www.saxxunderwear.com/SAXX-PRO-ELITE-UNDERWEAR/

[AcostaKarla]

Well you facing problem with cotton,but I guess cotton boxers are the best as they soak the sweat early.

[Resolute]

Wrong, Acosta... They do soak the sweat but they don't wick it away from your man parts. That means your junk is hanging out in a moist petri dish of bacteria-laden body funk. Wool wicks and evaporates better.

[hitec4you]

Just wear a kilt.

[jaowens76]

I have had great luck with exofficio boxer briefs. Nice wicking and lots of support. Your junk will thank you.

Both my kids, who played high school and college sports wore the UA and Nike brand compression shorts. Much better than the boxer briefs they normally wore. Highly recommended for active use, don't know if you need them when sitting at a desk.
