New Running tights

Properly sizing your running tights

I have been wearing the Tesla brand of running tights I obtain on Amazon ever since the end of the year, and I am very happy with how they have worked out from the perspective of both quality and price. A typical pair runs about $13 and they are delivered in a few days. The color selection is very wide. There are a number of different brands on Amazon, but these Teslas appear to be winners, so what is the point of searching farther?

Sizing is always the real question when buying any compression gear, tights, shorts, and tops either long sleeved or short sleeved. The Tesla brand generally seems to fit true to size, as in if you think you wear a MED in most clothes, the MED will be an OK fit here as well. The sizes you see listed for Tesla are not Asian sizes, two or three sizes down from their US equivalents, but pretty much normal US sizes.

The whole point of wearing compression gear is to compress, so oversizing generally not a great idea. I am 5’10” and about 150 lbs, and a MED would fit me, but I have discovered that the SM still fits well, but snugger, giving me an extra measure of compression with what I can only describe as a skin-tight fit everywhere. Feels great! Looks great! I am suddenly in a place I will call Lycra heaven! I love wearing these sized that way.

Let’s say you are instead 6’0 and 175 lbs. You might think you are a perfect LRG, but at that weight and height you are better suited to the MED. That will get you the look, fit and feel that you are after. In short, downsizing one size from where you initially think you should be is perfect from both the perspective of look and feel. Besides, with this bit of undersizing you can easily wear these tights right under your slimmest pair of skinny jeans for an additional treat to be had.

What about compression tops? I tend to wear short-sleeved in the summer and long-sleeved in the winter. All of you know I do a lot of stationary rowing. No better exercise for building chest and shoulder muscles. Some years ago I used to get myself into SM compression tops, then I went to MED as my chest and shoulder muscles kept getting bigger from all the rowing. This winter I ended up ordering a couple long-sleeved tops in LRG. Getting in and out of the smaller sizes was just becoming too difficult.

Still, you might be able to fit into a smaller size if you are not constantly doing upper-body exercises. The lower body works fine undersized but the upper body sizing is a bit more of an experiment, or at least it has been for me.

Should you wear anything under the tights? A swim brief? A thong? A pair of tighty whiteys? A strap, cupped or not? On most days I tend to prefer the tighty whiteys, in part because the extra cotton padding is nice sitting either on the rowing machine or the stationary bike, But I do not feel exactly the same every day, and probably, neither do you. Some days I feel hornier than other days, and somehow one of the options I mentioned other than the tighty whiteys might have an appeal. I’ve long thought that this is one of the weirder aspects of being a guy as in sometimes I am enthusiastic about one of the options I mentioned other than the tighty whiteys but only on certain days.

For example, wearing a snug fitting thong with an elastic cord cutting between my butt cheeks can feel, well, interesting as I stroke my way through a rowing session or ride perched up on that seat on the stationary bike. A strap, maybe less so but then add a cup to shake things up a bit. The swim brief as a liner is easy to “tolerate” but that may not be what you are after at that moment in time. The bottom line is that your choice of what to wear each day will likely vary day by day as happens to me. Don’t be concerned if it does. That is “normal”. I love playing with myself and continually stressing myself out this way with each new combination.

In the winter I have been pulling on sweat pants and a sweatshirt over my Tesla gear for warmth when I am working out or not. As warm weather approaches I will discard the heavy gear in favor of lighter stuff, but stick with the same compression gear. Maybe a looser fitting pair of shorts over the tights and an old white tee shirt over the top. Heading out, the idea of wearing skinny jeans over running tights sounds fun too.

Above all, whatever you decide to do with and to yourself always make sure that you find a path that leaves a lot of time to just kick back and enjoy yourself and your body. My (strenuous) exercise program (at least for a 72-year old) means I get to do this every day and have a lot of leisurely time for just kicking back and enjoying being me. I’ve had and continue to have a great life in a host of different ways.

The best to all of you and if I have helped you by even a small amount in thinking about gearing yourself up for an adventure in these trying times, that is even better.

One of the “problems I face in writing these papers suggesting things other guys might try is that I tend to write these stories in considerable detail with respect I think might be fun to try doing. In the process of writing, I catch myself in the lair I purposely set up for others. In short, I have difficulty explaining in detail what you should try without also getting myself drawn in. Crazy huh? But that is how male sexuality sometimes works.

So, in the process of writing, I “did” it to myself as well this morning. Basically my head got fixated on how much fun it would be to go through my stationary rowing and bike riding exercises while wearing all the items I suggested in the last section.

Before very long, I was stripping down and removing my running tights. Next, off went the little tighty whiteys I had been wearing, and out came a “Unico”-branded thong. At first, the Unico thong seems tame enough—I have smaller, snugger ones made of stretchier material right in the dresser drawer too. But the Unico has this really neat thong back made of a narrow round of elastic—just like I described in the previous chapter!

And the pouch is not very big either, meaning getting my balls and modestly-sized penis in the place where it needs to be poses, errr, a bit of a challenge. I have faced similar challenges before. To get everything to stay where it belongs I’ve learned that I have to tug on the elastic back and make certain that the little elastic cord is cinched up way tight between my buttocks. This is a challenge but I am very fond of the resulting sensations. In part, this is because the cord pulled up in that position puts upward pressure on the perineum area, a great sensation. And finally the pouch is containing everything that should be containing keeping in mind that within minutes I am going to be rowing and riding and everything had BETTER stay where it should be.

Next up, the Tesla running tights go back on over. And now, for an extra treat, I pull on my pair of gold-yellow football pants, and hop on the rowing machine.

By this time I suspect a lot of guys would be oozing precum. That is perfectly normal. You would almost have to be brain-dead to NOT be oozing some. That is certainly true for me.

Once I am on the rowing machine, the thong cord starts “playing” with me. On each stroke I can feel the cord cinching up tighter. With only a few strokes I am feeling even better. Everything seems to be working read my workout is going really really fast. My perineum feels spectacular. Then I crawl up on the stationary bike. The seat on that is on the “mean” side, but the combination of that seat and the tong cord is a place made in heaven. What a great place to be.

I’m still wearing all the same items. Wait! I want to get another half hour of rowing in this afternoon. I hope I make it all right.

Not to worry! I will!

i agree that they should fit properly and yet still fee snug and secure, especially when taking them off. For some guys, it's a tickling process feeling that snug, clinging polyester spandex material slowly slip free from their rather aroused privates, as they slowly manage peeling those new running tights down and off.

Updates on Running tights

I continue to enjoy wearing the Tesla running tights for a variety of exercises, as well as for more general leisure and casual wear. I have no problem with being out in my yard wearing the tights.

These are perfect for a lot of different exercises done indoors on my stationary rowing machine, stationary bike and on my weightlifting machine. I still like wearing a cotton brief as an undergarment to absorb any sweat or other moisture that may occur during a workout.

I continue to believe that a good snug fit that is almost like a second skin (some might say “painted on”) works best. A guys body feels sensual all over that way. I try and undersize one or even 2 sizes down. They will stretch a lot. Getting the fit exact and correct is just as important as for a swim brief.

Seasons change! Clothing must change with the seasons

All of you know that I have a very consistent exercise program in my home gym. I have two rowing machines, a stationary bike and an elaborate piece of weight lifting equipment. I use this equipment from 1 ½ to 2 hours per day, pretty extensive for a 72 y/o like me. But I am pretty much stuck in the house what with Covid and all, nothing much to do other than exercise and watch TV.

But that also means I can wear whatever I want, pretty much. Somehow, swim briefs have never worked very well for the exercise routine I am in. But compression gear does work very well. All summer long, you would find me exercising wearing a compression tee and compression shorts. Either that or occasionally a wrestling singlet, something very similar to what the guys wear who do compression rowing competitively, and not that different from what the water rowers wear.

Underneath, everything works the best with a snug-fitting pair of tighty whiteys, a little more padding for my bottom on the rowing and cycling seats. For the summer I have both swimming jammers from Speedo, Tyr, sporti and others, but I also have a big assortment of compression shorts from brands like Tesla, Starter, Nike, Bollinger and others. My compression shorts get very heavy use. Then I have some wrestling singlets I like from Asics, and one that is a bit of a pain to het into from Russell Some real football pants from Russell too.

What with Covid and all I can go a week without wearing anything like a shirt or jeans. I get a lot of use out of these clothing items and I always feel that the right clothes for exercising makes the time move swiftly.

But the seasons are beginning to change and today is cooler than it has been. Time to move from the compression shorts to my compression running tights that have been the main topic of these posts. I have several of the Tesla brand plus some others from companies like Russell but I think I like the Teslas the best. I picked out one of my favorite pairs of Teslas today. I love the snug fit and the sizing. They really do fit me like a second skin, but remain comfortable for all the movements involved is stationary rowing and cycling.

I feel great even though I am stuck in the house and part of feeling great means having clothing that looks great and is fun to wear. As the weather turns skill cooler I will probably add more layers, but more about that another time.

I just got to thinking

As a young teen just past puberty, I would seek to avoid any item of clothing that I feared would give me a hard-on that I would be wearing when I was any place other than alone. I suspect most guys that age have the same fear.

But as an adult, I increasingly sought out items of clothing that I thought would make me feel horny, because I developed more confidence in my own ability to keep from letting a hard-on get to the point where the situation got out of control. Plus I got hooked on messing around by myself and as I got older there was lots more opportunity to just kick back and have fun.

Now, as a senior living alone I get to really have fun, and these Tesla running tights have become an important part of that....Gosh they feel good this morning. Had I owned these as a teenager I would have been absolutely bonkers in getting to wear them.

Based on your recommendation, I bought a pair of Tesla tights. I liked them so much that I now own 8, mostly 3/4 length. I agree with you on all aspects of them......price, quality, and fit. Thanks for the heads up.

I wear my covermale spandex running short in bright red color and these are best for the running.

This is a photo of the Seobean brand running tights I have been wearing at bedtime. You can see they have a distinct front pouch. The neat thing is that if I put on a favorite thong first the pouch of the thong pushes me up and forward, with the pouch in the tights holding everything secure and in place. I can have fun by myself the entire night long that way. Then too, the pouch over pouch scheme gives me a great target in the morning for applying a hand-held vibrator. The slick material in the tights helps this all along. I was doing this only this morning. I nearly got carried away, so to speak. This whole idea merits my seal of approval and is highly recommended.

Well, I wear my fav covermale running shorts.
