But the down side is people sometimes give you a weird look. There was even this woman who took a picture of me. How rude is that??!!
Very. People have become intrusive. :cry:
If I was a woman a man took a picture of me it would’ve been blown up and covered by the media.
You'd have lawyers competing to take the case.

I've been wearing compression for many years, shorts, pants, and one 3/4 - predominantly for recovery but the feel is great too, however IMHO I'd love for a tad less compression in the bulge area.

I wear running tights to run to morning swim practice then pull on a pair of shorts over them for classes

Oh, I'm reading the thread while wearing compression pants. They are the best - wearing some by Sub Sports.

I never wear shorts or long tops when wearing running tights.
I have always worn thongs or compression shorts underneath depending on the temperature to provide support and smooth the outline slightly.
I recently bought the tights in the pictures, they are a cross between compression and running tights. They are a slightly thicker material and have a shaped pouch for support. I was not intending wearing a thong and just wearing them by themselves, what do you think? I do stop at shops or garages if needed on my way to or from running.

Those running tights look great Scottie. Is that you wearing them or a stunt double?

Wow, very cool anatomical design. Also, very clear they're athleticwear (I almost spelled it "ware"), so I'd feel comfortable wearing them out and about. Jeesh, here in South Florida, overweight women wear various lycra leggings that shouldn't be seen, and they're not athletic in any way.

I saw a woman at the gym a couple of years ago. She wore a pink top and bright pink leggings.
She looked like a pink blancmange with legs. 🤭🤭🤢🤢🤮🤮

I'd definitely wear them without underwear.The ass is great with the zipper pocket.

They’re thick enough that you don’t have to wear underwear. Very tasteful design in the world of spandex. What brand?

It is a brand called Kalenji, which is an own brand for a company called Decathlon. I think they are French with large stores in Europe and a few in the UK.
Prices are quite cheap, but how they will last remains to be seen. They have a great range of running gear. I bought shorts (cycle short length) the same style as the tights.
To pre-empt the question, they sell swim briefs but they are a bit unimaginative.

I have a decathlon near me. I wasn’t impressed with it at all.

I think they look very good!

There isn't a lot of huge bulge action going on, which freaks some people out. However, there is still a bit of a pouch there to allow your equipment a place to be, rather than just being smashed up against your body. I also really like the pocket on the back. That makes so much sense for people who are not wearing much of any additional clothing, like yourself. It will be interesting to see how they hold up for you and what you think of them in the future.

Yes, appreciate the pocket.
They actually have 4 pockets, zip front and back, and 2 mesh side pockets that would take a bar or gel.

Very nice!

That makes them highly functional.

I'll love to hear what you think of them after you wear them a few times.
