Runners/Joggers in Swim Bruefs

And don't even THINK about using the pockets! I have to make sure my pockets are empty. Otherwise, the shorts flop around even more.

That's why I love swimming for exercise instead of running. You can wear speedos and fit right in!

If you had a private island, why bother to wear anything?

The cross country team from a nearby college wear very short split shorts when running so there is not much covered that wouldn't be if they were wearing speedos. The team at another nearby nearby college started to practice nude one day and they were suspended for one meet and took a forfeit. Strange thing is that the second college had staged The Full Monty and had a paint the hunk fundraiser where students painted parts of the bodies of athletes in very brief underwear. I guess male exposed skin is more acceptable in some settings than others.

Lol Minimalist75 you're living up to your username and I'm living up to mine! I don't enjoy going nude, not even to sleep in. It partially has to do with the same reason I wouldn't wear a swimsuit that goes transparent in the water. I don't find a full reveal very attractive; I'd much rather leave a little bit to the imagination. That includes when I'm alone.

And regarding that team that practiced nude and got suspended: all I can say is we can't ALL be the Warwick Rowers!

I am with you vega1210. The chafing issue is why I wear jammers to swim. And for running, I wear compression shorts underneath running shorts.

This exact suit to which you have linked is one I am considering getting to add to my jammer collection.


While I would be fine wearing them to swim, I don't think I am bold enough to wear them, alone, to run. So, I applaud and admire your intent to do so!
