From your description I agree with the double check with the doctor/urologist suggestion. Then use body glide.

Try a kiltliner.

If the pain only happens when going 'regimental' there may well be an issue with support. If that is the case, wear what you would normally wear ('regimental' is only mandatory for those actually in a regiment). If the has pain continued, do as has been suggested. Go to the emergency room. Now.

I'm with the doctor recommendations. When it comes to the boys, I take anything unexpected or unusual with serious attention. What you describe is unusual and not what I would expect...

First time I went hiking, I went reg. It sucked- a lot- about 2 hours in. My legs were sweating and rubbing that sweat into sensitive areas. It occurred to me that leather is made in a similar way- rubbing salt into skin. I was in effect turning my scrotum into leather. Not fun... You know how I solved the problem? I wear boxers when I hike. Or go to pow wows, like I did today. Or when I go out in the summer when it's likely to be hot. Boxers are a life saver, and much easier to apply than the anti chafe. Sorry, Rocky. I always try to send business your way... but in this case, boxers are the best answer! If the problem continues or doesn't go away... then a trip to a doctor is in order! And don't let anyone tell you that you're less of a man if you wear undies. That's crap. It's not even a real (and in historical) tradition! It's based on myth and misunderstanding.

I always tell people who inquire about it that if they had shorts back "in the day", they would have worn them. General wisdom gleaned from this site sez that they at least wore a very long shirt that acted as a buffer between the wool and the guy.

Anyway, wear whatever you want underneath...all the talk about comfort...comfort is subjective...whatever's comfortable for you is all that matters. TNS from anybody who would criticise.

Best

I'm a Highland Athlete, a kilted hiker, a kilted fisherman, a kilted outdoor/nature photographer and even a kilted potter. If I'm doing anything more vigorous than dinner, theatre or pubbing, I've learned that for me, wearing my trusty boxer briefs or compression shorts is a VERY good idea.

I hope you know how very hard it is not to rise to the occassion to make sport of the topic.

Now that I have won over the temptation, I want to advocate a long shirt tail and briefs of some sort. They make a sort of string bikini for men that allows all the comfort and intrigue of going regimental while still covers the main parts. Boxer briefs are also a good option, but be careful of them being so long that the leg shows when you sit. Looks tacky.
