I also have gotten a sensitivity to the elastic(laytex!)leg band, so now that's gone too! Happy Hiking :-) Tue, 06 May 2008 11:43:17 GMT http://bayareahiking.tribe.net/thread/f52d4ce1-eb9f-45b9-b40b-eb207375da2f#033c1cfd-9998-43ff-a893-d28c2b0caf31 Stacia 2008-05-06T11:43:17Z http://bayareahiking.tribe.net/thread/f52d4ce1-eb9f-45b9-b40b-eb207375da2f#b91862bd-1614-4e09-8538-d485e9dd04cf I'm sold! Haynes Boy Shorts have the fit I need and feel fantastic! I bought them in my size and one size larger, both work well. The seam placement keeps them from going places that I would rather they don't and they are soft.... LOVE them! Thanks!!

Cotton is good for those who like to stay moist while they hike. MMmmm. I also find spandex to get a bit warm. It does dry fast, but still not my preference. Here's more what I prefer (I couldn't find the women's version) ... http://www.rei.com/product/705716 Seems "flat seams" or seams "with stitching reversed out" are good for anti-chafing, whatever those terms mean. - izzy Thu, 17 Apr 2008 13:54:06 GMT http://bayareahiking.tribe.net/thread/f52d4ce1-eb9f-45b9-b40b-eb207375da2f#b6596f5b-8693-4720-8f1d-125bc7cb0331 izmo 2008-04-17T13:54:06Z http://bayareahiking.tribe.net/thread/f52d4ce1-eb9f-45b9-b40b-eb207375da2f#954ebcdc-2547-4e31-adc9-019ae61b1de4 hate that they're so popular these days...but under armour is my friend...

I posted a link to this at my hiking blog to see if any of my readers can help you out. http://www.tommangan.net/twoheeldrive/index.php/2008/04/10/hiking-panties-suggestions-wanted/ Probably should get some good ideas in the next couple days.

(After trekking several miles in pairs that just are not living up to my expectations, I am desperate... One's undergarments should not be able to climb better than the person wearing them...) I am hoping to find something that is breathable and VERY comfortable. They don't have to look fabulous, so I am hoping that I am not asking for the impossible... If Granny can hike happily, then so will I... I am female, of average size and build... Though if it came to it, I would happily wear underpants made for guys if they did the job as wonderfully for me as they have for you... I am hoping that there is something that has natural fibers in it for breath-ability... Something that moves with me, rather than pinches... And something that does not want to climb to the grand canyons of my contours... And if they were a little on the low side, I would be over the moon, but still hope to prevent mooning my fellow hikers... Suggestions?
