I've never used them. If people want to sneak a look up my kilt let them. Using the snaps just feels wrong to me. If I want to wear shorts I will.

Right. Next question is. "Oh, really, Alan? And how do you know all that?"

What to wear under the kilt, for me, depends on weather, what I'm doing, and the chance of small kids being around.
What I have learned about underwear. Tight briefs cause me to chafe the fastest. Going regemental also causes chafing between my thighs after about 7 hours on a day warmer than about 75 (body glide does stop this). Boxers is basically like being regimental, but it at least stops the sweat from pouring down my legs in really hot weather. Boxer briefs have never caused me to chafe at all, and add a little bit of warmth in winter.

What we Scots boys were given.....
:rolleyes:
Back when I was a lad growing up in Scotland we never had a problem with what we should wear under our kilts. We wore what our mothers gave us to wear and in my case and the case of many of my contemporaries what mothers gave us was schoolgirls bottle green or navy blue knickers.
Now to those of you who think knickers are those trousers that some golfers wear, let me tell you that girls knickers are what schoolgirls in the UK wore under their school skirts. Mothers chose them because back then the only underwear that was available for boys were off white trunks and it was felt that those under a kilt would draw attention when the lad was horsing about while playing or if they were to sit incautiously or should the wind lift the pleats. It was thought that wearing girls knickers of a colour that toned with the main colour of the tartan would make any flash less obvious.
Anyway I was given bottle green knickers to wear with my kilts and I found them so confortable that i have continued to wear similar items under my pleats to this day.
These items can be seen for sale on e-bay just click on to girls gym knickers and see what is under my kilt.

You might want to try boxer briefs, guys- I gave a set to my husband and I noticed he always wears them with his kilts now.

from what I can tell, they'd give you more coverage than a pair of tighty whities but still the same feel of movement. Plus they come in different colors, I think I bought his at Tarzhay, I mean, Target, and they had colors from black to blue to plaid to white!
(Oops, I just saw they were mentioned, sorry, didn't mean to repeat!)

Iain,
Your post brought back a long-lost memory to me. When I was at Grammar School in Devon in the late 1950s, a new boy joined my class, who had a pronounced Scottish accent. As usual when anyone new joined we were eager to find out who he was and where he was from. Although we had assumed he was a Scot, it turned out that he had been born in Devon, but had been taken off to Scotland at the age of four, when his father (who had been a manager at the Devonport Naval Dockyard) was transferred to the Dockyard at Rosyth. He told us that he had attended a private school there, where a part of his school uniform was a kilt. Of course the usual question of what he wore under his kilt soon came up, and he freely admitted that he had worn navy blue gym knickers. At the time most of us didn’t believe him and thought he was teasing us, but now that I have read your post, I realise that he had almost certainly been telling the truth.
When his father had been transferred back to Devonport Dockyard, he had been placed at my school, where trousers formed part of his school uniform. If my memory serves me correctly, he stayed at my school for a couple of years before his father was again transferred to a new post in Wales. I wonder what his new Welsh school pals thought of a Devonian with a Scottish accent coming to live in Wales. All this was long before I first wore a kilt myself.

I use black boxer briefs. One of these days I may try Regimental, but for now I'm still getting the hang of it...
