(there is no graceful way to yank them out of places they were never meant to go, while running down the street.)
I've got the same problem with the Smartwool boxers and a few others I've tried. Sometimes I think it's because they have a seam down the center of the back and the seam doesn't stretch like the rest of the fabric. But I have some seamless ExOfficios that do the same. I tried on Ibex Roaster Boxers at the Arcadian yesterday, and they felt comfortable, but with other underwear underneath them they couldn't have crept in anway. The Roaster Boxers seem quite thick and too warm for many situations. But I may end up getting a pair eventually to wear under my wool hiking pants when it's too warm for long underwear.
Oil is good, grease is better.
