Sore <package> from regimental klt wearing

You guys are funny.

. . . It's not even a real (and in historical) tradition! It's based on myth and misunderstanding.

It reflects the fact that a great many Highlanders could not afford underclothing, even if it had been available. It wasn't just that they preferred to eat, though that may have been part of the problem.

I spent the fisrt page and half laughing my butt off. All the creative reference was a hoot.

I have made sure that on anything more that a quick forray Sir. Tom and the twins are loosly covered in some short or... small trews. Besides, cleaning a kilt is an un-necessary pain all the time when it can be limited by separation from natural body oils and the duck butter.

I don't think that I can remember the discomfort as much when I wore a lava-lave on a regular basis.

If the sore "package" comes from friction against the wool, the problem might just be the sporran. When I am hiking kilted I never use a sporran precisely because of this. I have also considered extending the lining of the under apron so that the jewels doesn't come in contact with the wool.
Skål!

When I first started wearing a kilt my wife freaked because I wasn't wearing underwear...she really doesn't like it! I always wear good supportive underwear and sod the tradition, I've been a keen hiker for many years and good underwear is crucial for long walks.

The advantages of wearing underwear are just too many to outweigh the disadvantages. Have you ever smelt your underwear after a day's wear! A kilt not smelling of piss and sweat is my preference.

The idea of going "regimental" just doesn't hold water in my mind for those who do heavy exercise or physical labor. A man's parts bounce and this causes pain. It is why jock straps were invented and why, even in the oldest texts, you find the phrase "To gird your loins" which means to tie up your parts so they don't bounce.

Men have always tied up their parts. Walk into any athletic store you wish and there are jock straps a plenty. Every young boy starting little league gets one as a 'right of passage'. The loin cloth served the same purpose. A length of cloth passed between the legs, held by a belt and falling down front and back.

Heck, try running 2 or 3 miles unsupported and see just how sore you are the next day. It is a dull, but severe, ache in your lower abdomen where things are attached and believe me it is not pleasent.

Speak to a urologist and they will confirm this. They will also probably tell you that if you are doing anything more than sitting in an office or walking a few blocks you need some support.

Hang free if you want of course. If you do it all the time you will get used to the pain and not notice it after a while.

As I have said before, why mess around with glides and lubes when a pair of Under Armour boxer briefs works so well? That's the only way I'll hike after going from chafe city to no worries. People try to come up with all kinds of complicated ways to solve an already solved problem. Trust an experienced backpacker here, Under Armour (when the right style is worn) is like wearing nothing except you don't chafe your business. And this coming from someone who swore off anything but boxers when he was 14.

Dear gods, no!! Why the HE** would anyone even think to do that?!?! I try to avoid doing that at all costs!!

[Chirs]

Is there a sling that goes with that?
