Lots of runners wear Lycra bicycle type shorts, which don't have the butt pad. Look at athletic supply stores.

So many replies! This subject must be dear to our....hearts.

Lycra polyester blend
The above blend, I find quite comfortable. They keep "things" in place and the material doesn't chafe. You can find them in most bike shops. I prefer the ones without the padding, however some like the padded ones. They dry quickly too.

well i'm back from my travels and I ended up going for Burtons cotton boxers - the snug fitting ones. Only had one seam up the back never gave me any problems. The only thing I would like to change on them is the fold-over seam round the base of the leg.

I ended up taking 8 pairs with me and changing everyday, made life easy as I just had to remember to call into a laundrette on the same day every week. By the end of the trip one or two pairs were getting a little saggy and lost a bit of support but they did me prowd.

Thanks for the many replies

Harvey

have to write this quick before my mrs sees and wonders what the hell website im on.....

you want definate 'cuppage', holding everything steady so you dont pinch a ball getting on and off. very painful. and no fly in the front for poking out of, bike trousers have very viscious zips.

hipsters from M&S are my weapon of choice, but not the grey ones they look horrible when things get a bit sweaty, black or navy only.
they wash real good with showergel in formule1 basins too so you only need take a few pairs

Black Silk Boxers - you wont even know your wearing them, really comfortable. Wash with your normal clothes, it takes some life out of them, my last purchases lasted about 6 months on the road.

I must admit icebreakers have been the way to go for me. They are quick drying and take some time before they start to smell, although i haven't tried shitting in them yet.

The only negative is that they are quite expensive.

While riding, I have always used Under Armour Heat Gear Compression top and bottom. Have been very satisfied with it.

I go to Wal-Mart and get the microfiber ones. I believe the name LIFE is on the package somewhere. I prefer the ones that have about a two inch inseam. No seams in the, uh, delicate areas.

The hiking and climbing sector have lots of new tech fabrics that wick, dry fast, have anti bacterial coatings and stay warm/cool features. If you are carrying limited stock of gear, they are worth investigating. Most are also very light and pack small(s)
