When I wear compression shorts, I don't wear anything underneath.
Usually I wear the looser running shorts with a liner. I get the ones from Roadrunner with the 4 inch inseam so I get a bit more coverage. They do ride up a little when my chunky thighs rub, but they're not as bad as the shorter ones.

Commando. All my undies are cotton (I would not wear artificial fibers down there everyday for the life of me) and it absorbs sweat and you get chilled around your lower back. Particularly when it is still rather cool out. Not good.

Good timing for this topic. As a new runner, I don't even OWN a single pair of shorts that aren't for biking. I am off to buy some this weekend. Do I want loose fitting ones or compressions shorts or are there others? I am a complete novice in this topic. I like the idea of no undies. Wouldn't have even thought of it.

I have both compression shorts and longer-inseamed running shorts with liner. I like them both, but would never wear the compression shorts by themselves, even though I'll cheerfully wear bike shorts by themselves!

So am I to understand that compression shorts are tighter like bike shorts? Are there certain times or situations when one of the other are worn?

sounds like I'm the only underwear girl here
...I wear'm under all my running shorts- guess they are redundant in the one's with liners but I am tooo lazy to wash my shorts very time I wear them ( of course the same is NOT true for my unders!
)- this way I get a couple of runs outta them before they go to the wash- hmm never thought that was weird until now... the things I learn on this forum
