Inappropriate post - My apologies to the group.

I have found that colored boxer shorts work for me. Dark colors so that there is not a white flash if there is too much swish in the pleats. I have never found that cotton boxers have ever been binding against my kilt fabric. I also suffer from "lack of ****", I have used a strip of nonslip shelf liner under my kilt to keep my shirt from riding up and a similar strip could be used to keep your drawers from slipping. If you check the web sites of some military suppliers they have a similar product for sell (I will do some searching and will post a web page if/when I find one.)

I had some nonskid rug padding that I cut a 3 inch wide strip off of. I put loop-and-hook fastener at the proper length and made my own shirt stay. The original is 4 feet wide by 6 feet long, and can make a lot of shirt stays.

With my weight I am not a one-size-fits-all and often have to adapt and over come.

CDN Sushi nailed it... I purchased a pair of black silk boxers and tried them out today. Walla, I believe they will work. Granted I didn't give them the 8 hour test drive, but the fit feels good and the two materials seam to glide instead of bind.

Thanks gentlemen and lady for the humor and many useful suggestions.

I have been involved in a skateboard form for over 13 years. Yes I am one of those 40+ still skating pools, vert ramps and parks. We have a revolving door of many posts that get asked several times a year from younger guys, picking the brains of the older experienced. Yes sometimes it gets annoying answering/seeing the same questions asked over and over. And I apologize for being "one of them" here. But the cool thing is... you dont have to read, answer, or partake in any of them. You choose to open the post to help... or dont. Simple huh?

Thanks again, —T

I can't help but wonder whether it's just a matter of ill-fitting undergarments, then. I dunno -- have you TRIED a g-string and have it solve the problem? If it works for you, run with it. Otherwise, instead of cotton boxers, how about silk? If not that, one other possible solution might be Japanese-style "fundoshi." There are many variants, but one type is very much like a loincloth, and the portion that goes around the waist gets TIED (there is no elastic waistband) so you have the ability to adjust the tightness and waist size as needed.

To further answer the question, no -- I have not had the problem of getting the feeling that my underwear are falling down or binding against the kilt fabric. Maybe anti-static spray would do it?

On dress occasions I feel obligated to wear something and always seam to latter shed, and throw them away.

Does anyone else have this problem and maybe a remedy other than wearing a Gstring?

Another thought is the second strap. As I understand it the second strap is a hold over from military kilts. On military kilts the top of the military kilt is higher (under the bottom rib) than the modern kilt. On a military kilt the top strap closes the top of the kilt but does not add a great deal to the actual fit. The second strap on the military kilt is at the true waist, where the top strap of the modern kilt is) and does the most to keep the kilt up.

It is possible that the adjustment you have on the second strap is such that the kilt rubs on your underwear and moves it. I would try loosening the second strap to cut back on the kilt underwear friction.

This is just a thought. At one time I though I knew something, then I got married and learned how little I did know.
