several questions about my first leggings (male runner and cyclist)
cross-posted from: https://feddit.de/post/9993044
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.
Don't overthink it. If everything is secured there is little movement and little friction.
do you wear your leggings commando with something over them? or a piece of cloth to secure your manhood and then the leggings?
Leggins secure all. Extra trousers over the leggings if it's cold.
In my honest opinion, what question are you asking here? You haven't given any details or reasons why one thing or another would suit you better, all you've done is listed different opinions on style but it doesn't make it any clearer what you need. What advice are you looking for?
I basically want to use them as regular sport pants to run, walk, cycle, stretch and given that I have to walk a lot for my job, I may use them daily as a first layer, so my legs don't hurt as much as without them. I'd also like to use em with nothing on them, because they look good like that with no lines (where I live I only see men with the leggings on, with nothing to cover their crotch). The regular pants I have are very loose, I'm tall and skinny built and I always have trouble finding the right pants: long enough to cover my legs and thin enough not to waste too much fabric. The leggings I'm testing (asics, nb) seem to do exactly that.
I'm not going to wear them on social occasions but I may do the groceries with them on.
I personally experience some bad ol' taint chafing if I wear tights with only a center seam, especially if I wear them alone/with nothing underneath.
As for what to wear with them, it sounds weird, but since I know my running shorts work perfectly for me, I wear them under my tights. Also provides two more layers for wind and temp protection, which is something to be very aware of anywhere it's cold enough to run in tights.
