That's right. Most guys in the US, at least, seem to wear the sporran too low. It should be a hand's breadth (or even a bit less, depending on the size of your hand) below the TOP of the kilt, if you're not wearing a belt, and just about two inches or so below the belt if you are. If you are wearing the kilt up at your navel as you should be, this will place all or most of the sporran above the sensitive bits, and certainly well above the level that would interfere with leg movement.

When driving or doing something else that makes the sporran feel awkward, just move it to the side. It's easier to do this if you don't put the strap through the 'belt loops' on your kilt. It's better to lift and reposition it than to pull it so that the chain rubs the cloth of your kilt.

Pearls, every one, Cyndi!!

Why is it that, in the main, US kilt-wearers have their kilts too long and their sporrans too low? (And I'm not looking for cheeky responses from you guys over there!! )
