In all seriousness, Auld Argonian summed it up best on page 2 of this thread: “General wisdom gleaned from this site sez that they [the Highlanders of old] at least wore a very long shirt that acted as a buffer between the wool and the guy.”
A regimental kilt (men’s kilt, that is, not an officer’s special) can be pretty rough, but with a buffer (as AA put it), there is no problem.
If you have pain, you certainly need to see a urologist.
If you want to wear underpants, go right ahead.
But unless you are running, there is no need for them. The suspension is naturally provided.
I wear boxer shorts with trousers, having learned that the lads need to hang free – in part it was a solution to a problem I had with a scrotal rash, but aside from fungal complications, the scrotum itself needs to be free, because it constantly adjusts the distance of the testicles from the body.
This is a natural function that ensures that sperm is not too hot, not too cold.
Men who wear tighty whities often have problems when they want to father a child – it’s no joke!
So going regimental with the kilt makes a great deal of sense to me, even if my wife thinks it is risky and (when I go to church) inappropriate.
Regards,
Mike
