several questions about my first leggings (male runner and cyclist)
several questions about my first leggings (male runner and cyclist)
Im a male trying on several black leggings for running, stretching and cycling, I've never bought anything so tight. Im skinny built and have tried new balance, asics and adidas. My questions:
I've read some more expensive leggings have not a single, but double seam at the front side (crotch), whereas most simple leggings for men and women have just one seam in the middle. Should I return the leggings I bought and buy only the ones that have 2 seams at the front to better accommodate my manhood bits? I’ve also seen that expensive adidas leggings have just one seam at the front so, maybe I’m overthinking this?
Im not going commando or wearing sport shorts over the leggings because it doesn't have any purpose, except to drag you down when running, and look unflattering, even my boxer shorts make it look a big silly, because people notice them on my leggings, so I’m thinking about buying a thong, but I don’t know what brand to look for, if cotton would be better than polyester or if I should buy a V string or a G string.
The adidas I bought are cross high waist and are for women, however, I don’t see why I shouldn’t buy them: they sit good and aren’t too tight on the waist (seller told me leggings for women are wider on the thigh and smaller on the waist, but to me they look and sit good and the knit is softer than the other ones I bought, I like them. Am I going to regret keeping them?
Any other tips you have, welcomed.

I've got leggings for running and they've got a double seam. They are so stretchy I don't think it matters what seam is in rhe crotch area it should still feel alright. I wear shorts over the top because it feels wrong without them.
so you go commando?
Get this man some under armour stat! My friend, do you think male athletes are going around with thongs on?

I have no idea, these are my first leggings.
About your link, that's what I meant with double frontal seam, the under armour male leggings like these, but those look like underwear, so the only way to wear them is with running short, right?
You can wear them however you want. Just know that no man is wearing a thong.
I recommend underwear and shorts on top. If it's cold, you want more layers anyway. And double check the type you are buying. Your link is for "heat gear", which is for when it's hot out.
Yeah I don't see a point in wearing underwear with them. My underwear is the same material so I figure they're interchangeable
I have running shorts that have an extra inlay which functions as sort of underwear. So I dont feel as if Im going commando but I kind of am. In winter I go commando in leggings and wear the shorts on top to cover up a bit. If youre not going commando you should put thought into what material youre going to wear as underpants because not being breathable in your crotch area, especially on a bike is going to be extremely uncomfortable.
