I have an embarrassing question to ask, so please dont mock me. Ive started serious training recently and I know that I have to wear those compression shorts. The problem is I dont know whether to wear underwear under them. I tired once and it was really uncomfortable. So I tend to wear them without underwear. Whats your opinion? Are there any special underwear garments to be worn with under compression shorts?

I really dont know, but in my opinion you should wear underwear because these compression shorts are made of lycra or similar synthetic materials and I suppose that your intimate parts, which are sensitive, should be protected with cotton underwear. Compression shorts are used in order to keep muscles war and thus prevent sprains and injuries. As far as I know under compression shorts many athletes wear athletic supporter and I think that is worn instead of underwear. Compression shorts are, then, not the same as athletic supporter and they have completely different purposes. Anyway, I dont think its hygienic to wear compression shorts without underwear. Maybe you can ask your instructor to give you a piece of advice.
