Just the thought of the pump mashing all over the place is scaring me. Any ideas?
Campfire I don't run anymore because of my knees but I use to run a lot until I got to my early 40's, 5K's,10K's, 20K's and Half Marathons. Back in the day, I was mostly a grower and not a shower, so I wore those comfy New Balance Running briefs that had the light loose flaps on the outside.
I now cycle all the time, usually over 150 miles a week.
I wear Jockey Sport Briefs under my cycling bibs to keep the boys and their third brother in place. I thought I would have problems when getting back on my bike saddle for long miles but I didn't.
Yes, at first when I first got back on my bike at the 5 week mark, but that was mostly from the incision tightness, numbness and everything else healing down there. I thought I was going to have to go to a different saddle but I didn't have to.
I think you might not have to wear something that will hold everything in place when you get 6 months out from surgery, but in the mean time try out these sport briefs. You could wear these under a light breezy running short, but you're definitely going to be a shower now, especially if you have a Titan coloplast implant.
You need to go to a Jockey store and check the fabric, on the different colors, some of them have better pouches with the different colors, weird but they do.
I'm attaching the link to the Sport Briefs below.
