The Compression Shorts Debate & North Moore Review
Many choose to wear shorts over them. Others throw caution to the wind and stay comfortable. When I turned to Facebook for answers, I discovered just how heated the debate really was!
I asked a large group I follow, Trail and Ultra Running, what they thought. Shorts vs. No Shorts? The response was overwhelming! Since I posted the question, over 250 people have responded... and they continue to comment how the feel.
Some felt very strongly that shorts over the top are a must. While tons of others claimed "letting the boys breathe" is the best alternative. But the majority were declarative in one thing. You shouldn't worry about what others think and you should wear whatever you like, however you want!
So why did I even bother asking the social media world for fashion advice? I've always worn a thin pair of shorts over my compression wear. Never gave it another moments thought... until I tried on the new North Moore compression shorts from Wola-Co. I realized I loved them too much to want to hide them!
Full disclosure, Wola-Co did provide me with a pair to review, but these thoughts are my own. And it was in my review of them that prodded me to research more this controversial men's fashion debate!
There have actually been some great articles and blog posts written on this very topic. The two that stood out to me were one from Runner's World... and another from Runblogger.com.
I've always been on the side of modesty in this debate... but with the Wola-Co shorts, I realized they made me want to show em off!
I loved the color, loved the fit, and even more... the convenient pockets!
Don't want to take my word for it on the North Moore shorts? They're Kickstarter campaign launched two days ago... and they've already reached their goal funding! Now that says a lot. People love these shorts!
How do you get your hands on a pair? Go back them on their Kickstarter (check out the video below) and get in on the sweet deal! It only lasts until the end of the month so I suggest you check em out while you can! I've already backed them, not just to get another pair.. but because displaying how much I love these shorts is something I'm definitely NOT modest about!
So it looks like my stance on the debate has been shattered, all thanks to the North Moore Shorts and Facebook. If you see me running and notice I'm proudly sporting the compression... and nothing else. At least now you'll know why. ;-)
Now tell me what YOU think. Would you wear these under anything else? Or would you sport them proudly for all the see? Tell me where you stand on this debate in the comments below!
I wasn't sure where you wer going with this. I agree with the majority. Who cares what people think? What works for you is what works!
ReplyDeleteThanks SD Mom I'm in that boat now too, apparently. Or at least with these cool shorts I'll "flaunt it". LOL.
DeleteI had always kinda wondered what the "proper" way to wear compression shorts was. I don't personally wear them but I just assumed that they were supposed to be without shorts. But yea, I agree that you should just wear what you want. Happy running!
ReplyDeleteIf ya got it flaunt it. running tights make me feel confident and masculine . I get more attention and noticed more by even younger women.
DeleteI have tried wearing compression shorts and I love wearing them when I run. They stop from chaffing and hold my muscles together which helps them from becoming fatigue quickly.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy wearing compression shorts when I bike. It helps with chafing and doesn't make me stick to the bike seat as much.

ReplyDeleteWearing pantyhose is beneficial for both boys and girls. It is better to wear pantyhose on long trips for sports or work. It is more comfortable in winter. Some fashionable manufacturers make pantyhose for men. If you don't know how to choose and buy men pantyhose suitable for men's wearing than I suggest you read this article.

I wear women's panty hose . google my images type my full name M I K A L O V I C H E make sure you spell it right mikaloviche . i get lots of giggles and stares and shock whoops and whistles girls love my panty hose .
DeleteI love wearing my nylon elastane tights with nothing under or over. If I wear a singlet to just cover my man bits I am fine. I also wear the ladies panty hose thin stretched weave . around the top of the thighs they are slightly thicker and look like shorts. Of course there is a bulge and in all honesty I am proud of my package and if you got it flaunt it I say. sick of the debate and all the people going ewwww. When i run I often have a dozen or so girls staring and oggling and wondering. some in sheer disbelief and in awe of my confidence. Being a sports exhibitionist means in spandex you can get away with alot. I also teach in these and the young college girls all admire my brazzeness . I think I may have stretched the boundries of decency on occassions but no one's complaining . I get wolf whistled, whoops claps cheers and positive comments . Girls love it and I feel like I am doing my bit. how many times do we see great butts running past with a thong or G string on and black stretched fabric revealing a very nice ass, to this end I feel confident that if we push the boundries men can feel free to express themselves and run bare and emboldened . we have buges and some have big packages and we should be out there proudly being who we are. many girls stop and chat and pretend to be interested in my tights when really all they want to do is check me out some more. I get incredibly turned on running in sweaty tight clingy tights going commando there is no where to hide if you are sporting a boner.
ReplyDeletethanks
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy working out in comfy shirts and have recently purchased custom compression shirt. They are quite comfy for me and provide the best workout experience. I'll buy a few more because I enjoyed their products.
ReplyDeleteWhen you are practicing the butt toning exercises, you work three major muscles of the area. Those muscles are: Gluteus Maximus, Medius and Minimus. Booty XXL

ReplyDeletemicro thin layer of stretched fabric is all that is between you and indecency . nothing under or over. out and proud boys let it out. free doggin' flip floppin' go commando . girls are transfixed and mesmorized by our bulges and can't help looking. just be brave and if ya got it flaunt it. feel no shame . it is only in the last 100yrs that men have stopped wearing tights. women were not allowed to. no cod piece just a man pouch and a visible lunch box. I stand and chat to girls all day and no one mentions the (elephant in the room)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE TO RUN EVERY WHERE . sports attire has given a new almost respectable social accepted way of being out and proud ( proud as in sitting out adjuct ) my package isn't small and when I wear leggings , tights, any sort of running gear that is stretched and tight it wraps around my junk and whammo it is a massive bulge with the help of a few well placed elastic bands and other things to make it more pronounced. I love my lunch box being on show and girls ( and some guys) staring at it ( me ) and smiling. The sports wear has enabled sports exhibitionists to have a new level of acceptance and less ridicule. I can run walk and just go shopping now in my skin tight micro thin layer of a second skin barely hiding anything. In lycra there is no where to hide. girls are all out and about looking so sexy and loving the attention and we love them for it. Female exhibitionism is on another level. us guys have a way to go yet. I have had literally thousands of on lookers, all smiles and whistles comments and adoration. We need to give back . I was behind a booty bottom for a few miles on a open river path hundreds of people around and many guys staring at all the girls and this one particular girl looked completely naked from a distance and her skin tight see thru spandex revealed every thing. her bottom was stupendous I had gotten very aroused running a far way back and could not hide it. many girls passing me saw my predicament and smiled as they too had just passed the gorgeous goddess and were commenting. I heard one say he's enjoying his run. looking at my erection . I then had to stop she turned around and was heading back towards me , I asked her if there was a bridge up further she stopped and we chatted for nearly an hour all the while she could not have missed my bulging boner poking up and out right there talking to her she was smiling and knew she had caused that. I was soaking and she loved it. then we just ran off and I turned my head to see that fantastic butt one more time and she also did and waved at me. now can we all get over out embarrassment and fears and be out and show them what we got and give them a show and give back . girls just love seeing us guys and turning us on. tights are my best friend the skimpier the better and they hide nothing.
ReplyDeletewhen I run in the rain my white stretched nylon elastane is clear and see thru for all to view. I get alot of people tooting their horns on the road checking out my butt. with nothing under and over I may as well be completely naked. my singlet covers the front but when I HOIST IT UP all the oncumming girls can see everything. one girl in a large group who were all screaching and staring at me yelled out " from 50 meters away it looks like I HAVE NOTING ON. the only purpose of the tights is to hold my junk in and have a modicum of decorum and some sort of social acceptance as long as yr wearing at least something it is acceptable . literally hundreds of college girls walk past and shriek with glee and amazement at my sheer couragesness . if it isn't enough being clear and seeing my skin and butt youo can also see my package and if I SAY SO MYSELF IT LOOKS IMPRESSSIVE . It can get seriously really very HARD for us guys out there in stretched lycra there is n0 where to hide.
