Default Under Armour

Guys (and the girls who I know will read this too...)

What experience do you have with Under Armour compression shorts? I'm looking for something to pull everything in without buying a girdle. Do some of those shorts have panels for the front to give the appearance of redistributing some of the skin that gravity has placed there? Actually, rather than a panel, I think I need paneling...smooth wood grain with no give to give a flatter appearance!

Seriously, do these things work? And is it tight around the junk or looser? I'm looking for something I can wear all day that won't be uncomfortable, will not be the equivalent of a self induced vasectomy, and isn't Control Top "Manty" hose.

Suggestions?

-Mike

I've heard good things about Under Armour Mike. Although have not been able to get them in my size....yet.

Ever try wrapping your mid-section in saran wrap? May work....

Not a bad idea...except for the noise! I can only imagine me walking around snapping, crackling, and popping--even for the sake of looking thinner! My wife would laugh at me.

Check out some other brands like the ones at:

Mens Underwear, Men's Swimwear, Jockstraps, Mens Thongs, Athletic Supporters, T-Shirts, Compression Shorts, Sports Brief

I like the way their website is set-up but had to stop checking it out because the pictures made me feel strange and goose-pimply all over.

I'll look at home later--it's blocked from my work computer...

Thanks,

I wear the Under Armour compression shorts to workout/walk and their 3" leg boxers for general use. Keeps everything in place.

my hubby works out 2 hours a day, he is Air Force, and he loves his Under Armor. He says there is lots of room around his junk, however since not all junk is created equally, some might not have as much space. Joking LOL


He did say they are very comfortable.

I have nothing of substance to add to this thread.. I just think it's funny that I've never heard of this store before, until yesterday when my daughter tells me her best friend just started a job there at a nearby mall and then here it is mentioned in this group..

Hey Mike.. you gonna post new pics of your rear in your new underoos?

I buy 3XL Russell compression shirts from freshpair.com for the gym, and I've been happy with them. I just ordered my first 2 pairs of shorts from them today.
