Ergowear just came out with compression shorts (no pad) that have a fabulous pouch. I haven’t received my shorts yet, but I wear their swimsuits and love the support. Here are the compression shorts: http://www.ergowear.com/product_info.php?products_id=2001&osCsid=v3evji69gp2sbnk5sjt68er3c3

If you would like Ergowear to make cycling shorts please let them know, and tell them that John Link sent you.

Bike shorts with a pouch would be fantastic!!!!!

I did find a solution for regular everyday underwear several years ago: Obviously For Men underwear. They have an anatomical correct pouch for men and solve all sorts of problems. No more squished between your thighs, twisting, smashing, flattening, sweating, hot, smelly, slimy, aching, or chaffed man parts.

If you are looking for more support and the pouch try Cocksox undies. They are spandex like material and fit nice under light bibs or shorts.

Women search out the perfect bra – no reason men can’t have good underwear.

Hi, I agree with Andy, I have tried the thongs since I read the post and they work perfectly.

Before I bought a good pair of bib shorts, I was wearing a pair of tight riding shorts. The padding was not covering a large enough area, so I get discomfort from the pressure of the material against my stuff. Then I discovered Under Armour athletic boxer briefs. The are made of that really thin material that all of their stuff is made of. So it fits nicely under the riding shorts.

Hi,
I wear mens thongs under my bibs when cycling and everything goes alright. Just make sure that your thong is no too tight. You’ll forget you’re wearing one, its very comfortable.!!!

I wish they would make bike shorts with a pouch. That would solve the problem, I think. Someone earlier asked if the tight shorts don’t provide enought support. They simply don’t. They smash. I find walking and esp. doing my stretches particularly uncomfortable for the boys when I’m just wearing shorts.

This is a helpful conversation for me. I have tried to be correct and not wear underwear under my bibs or shorts, and boy do the boys sometimes take a beating, especially in the spinning class I’m in. I can get some pretty intense pain. And in the class it is just downright uncomfortable. I can’t go as fast as I could because m balls hurt so much.

Ghost Rider, yep “teabag”.

On a serious note: Good luck with your boys.

I think I’ll go lie down too. Maybe think of bunnies, and ponies, and rainbows… oh look a basket of kittens. Nice.

Merino wool boxer-briefs under loose shorts: bliss.

If someone made cycling shorts with a merino-chamois, here’s my VISA card!

Laura, is it because of the “teabag”?

Eric, thanks for the insight — I figured that generic Fruit-of-the-Looms were not exactly part of the equation.

And now, like Mike, I’m going to go lie down! Just thinking about this subject has given me a phantom pain in my junk.
