Compression Shorts

[RadioPlayer]

What is the point of compression shorts? How are they different than just regular boxer breifs?

Apparently.

A major benefit of compression shorts are that they keep the thigh muscles warm to prevent muscle strain and fatigue. In addition, there is some evidence that compression shorts may enhance athletic performance. [1] They are also used as a way to keep the male genitalia in place. Compression shorts also help to keep undergarments in place, and for certain sports, like baseball and softball (where they are also known as "sliding shorts"), come with padding at the hips to protect players from injuries due to sliding.

Another major benefit is that many compression shorts are designed to wick sweat away from the body to lessen chafing and the onset of rashes. The friction between the fabric of the shorts sliding past each other may also be less than that of bare thighs rubbing, which may also reduce chafing during things like walking or running when the thighs are adducted.

They're not made out of the same fabric. Where boxer briefs are cotton, compression shorts are made out of a spandex material. Also comp shorts are a little longer.

They come in black mostly, but have a few different colors out now: Under Armor is a major brand of them but not the only manufacturer.

These are the shorts he is referring to:

Mainly for sports/competitions and yes they are designed to wick sweat and aid in anti chaffing as mentioned above.
