Subject: compression shorts under running shorts for training runs?
ok... I still have some "thigh rub" and hate that... it is worse when it gets colder too....  does anyone wear compression or other long tight wicking briefs under their run shorts?  I like running in my tri shorts, but they are too $$ to wear all the time... I would love to not worry about my shorts climbing up the crotch... brand recomendations, things to look for??

I wear the UA compression shorts under my other shorts when I run. It how I roll. Wear what makes you comfortable to run.

If you're comfortable running in public with just the tri-shorts,  look at roadrunnersports for their housebrand running tights.  They don't have the compression of true compression shorts but they are a good weight and a decent price $35.00.   I've got a couple of pair that I use for daily 30-60min runs and save the nice compression for my longer runs(anything over 1hr). 

Personally I don't like the "bulky" feel of tights and shorts when worn together.   That crotch climbing is rough.

Depends.  If they are running shorts with a liner, then, no, it's commando all the way.  Running shorts without a liner, then I will wear compression shorts under them for longer runs.

When I do some ultra runs, I'll wear the compression tights under my running shorts to help prevent any unnecessary chafing. It's normally not a problem, but in those longer races / runs it does just help to assure that things are good.

For tris, I just wear tri shorts, but in the runs, I just don't feel like sporting tights alone. Not that I mind wearing them alone, but it just doesn't fit in with the "norm".

I wear Nike compression shorts under my Nike running shorts for any and all runs. Didn't do any research, but there is a Nike outlet here, so the price was right. They have served their purpose for the last couple of years. Haven't really thought about them, so I guess that means they are working and comfortable.

haha!  I said I like running in them, I should have also mentioned that I am horribly self conscious when doing so...  package viewability issues....

 

I will get some wicking briefs and some running shorts without liner and see what it is...

My running shorts include the compression tights in them.  Nike makes some good ones.  I wear them pretty much exclusively for running.

I wear UA compression shorts and UA running shorts every time I run, I like the extra support and feels better for me. If the shorts had a liner in them then I would only wear the linered shorts. I'm just out to run but my wife worries that my package is to "bulgie" but when I'm running that's the last thing on my mind so if I were you I wouldn't worry about visability

I run in the pearl izumi infinity compression shorts.  I don't wear any other shorts over them (cause you're not supposed to ) you can get them on roadrunner.com for like $38 with a coupon.  I tried some lower cost ones and they rubbed a little still on longer runs (chaffing where you don't want chafing) and the seams pulled apart on me.  So I went with the PI.  They have a liner that helps to cut down on the rubbing.

 

One piece of advice I received that helped me out a while back was to not get shorts with seams between the legs.  They are very few and far between, but I have found it to be true for my particular case.

I always wear compression shorts under my running shorts... best ones I've found are the RoadRunner sports own brand (comes in a two pack and not that expensive, but very comfortable)

I always wear compression shorts under my running shorts (if they come with liners, I cut them out).  I use Adams brand, about $20-22.  I wear my Adams compression shorts underneath my polyester black long pants when I officiate high school basketball as well.  I like the fact that they keep everything in place.

Yup. I picked up a pair of 2XU compression shorts every other month for a while and they've lasted a couple years now. Every run.

I used to do wear UA shorts underneath my running shorts and let's just say I discovered a HORRIBLE seam that runs down the middle (of you know what) that likes to become a chainsaw after an extra long run.  NEVER AGAIN. NEVER.

Now, I don't wear underwear when I run, liner or no liner.  Best feeling ever.  I always use bodyglide though.

Nike Pro's. I've run two marathons this year with them under shorts without any chaffing at all. I also wore a pair throughout my recent IM. Slipped bike shorts over them and than changed to running shorts over them. I was a little leary about them under my bike shorts but they worked great. I wear them on every training run. In fact I wear them everyday, all day. I hope they don't quit making them.

I'm not overweight at all and I get thigh rub. I prefer compression shorts to run in.

I was thinking about ordering some of these. Any advice on the sizing? Is the sizing chart they have accurate or should I size up or down?

I wear a 33-35 (depends on who made it) and Med fits me snugly.

I wear compression shorts under my loose shorts. When I am competing I would wear my tri shorts.

I have compression shorts from Target and Walmart. My walmart stuff is older and looser now. I have also lost weight so they are looser because of that. it feels weird to run with out compression shorts. I am thinking about getting a pair of running shorts with the brief built in but have not yet done so. I would imagine it would feel similar to my bike shorts which is close to wearing nothing.
