help me out here: when I first put on the leggings on commando before running, my male bits turn to one side, but as soon as I start running, they somehow reposition to the middle and stay put as long as I run and stretch. However, if I only walk, like after stretching on the way back home, they'll tend to fall to one side.

Does this happen to you?

I've read cotton absorbs sweat, whereas polyester repels it, so if I run I should get polyester underwear.

Is the difference very noticeable?

This is to wear with my leggings, because if I go commando my male bits turn to one side.

do you also notice differences if you use ½ lengths or compression shorts?

I don't see much the point: cotton breaks easier than polyester, is not as expandable as spandex, cotton absorbs moisture, whereas polyester keeps it out.

Maybe I'm wrong?

I bought some leggins for running, cycling, stretching... for winter (sale) and summer.

The summer ones have some translucent bits on the back side of both knees.

There are other summer leggings, completely closed from the same brand that I didn't buy because to me those bits are well placed to get rid of moisture, and are more expensive than the completely closed ones. Maybe the seller used my naivete to convince me to buy the ones with translucent bits?

So, fashion or function? because to me the completely closed ones are more fashionable.

The closed ones are cheaper than the ones with bits, so I assume the ones with bits are better

be patient, because I don't know what the right word is: I mean the visible fabric of some summer leggings where everybody clearly sees that the fabric is porous in some parts, so humidity and heat escapes.

Absolute noob here regarding leggings, Im thinking about returning my asics winter leggings due to this, unless you tell me this is a stupid idea and Im gonna need al the heat I can save during cold weather and winter.

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.

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?

[-] lompedtfre@feddit.de 2 points 8 months ago

well I see 4 vertical seams: 1 left, 1 right, 1 middle front and 1 middle back. Online I've seen some leggings have 2 frontal seams around the manhood, that's what I meant.

[-] lompedtfre@feddit.de 1 points 8 months ago

so you go commando?

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 prefer a window seat and have never had to pay extra for one.

how did you do that?

[-] lompedtfre@feddit.de 5 points 9 months ago

thank you. I appreciate the feeling.

I guess I also have to learn to ignore randoms who post whatever they assume as correct. It stings that posting a legitimate question triggers some people to post accusations, but that's something neither I can control.

I don't get why they want drama.

[-] lompedtfre@feddit.de 3 points 9 months ago

never thought of it like this
