Thread: Ball Bag Chaffing

I grew up hunting in the 70's as a 10yr old up through the 80's wearing the standard Kiwi hunting gear, the Kiwi Kilt, a full length Swannie commando or in the cold with a pair of Rugby shorts commando under it ,all supposedly to stop crutch rot .Then when l started shearing in the 80's you were told to go commando to stop crutch rot & slowing down the crew tally. Never ever suffered from it,so dont know whether good luck or good planning ,but commando has been away of life for me.The US & l think UK military issue "silky" shorts to stop it on forced marches etc so maybe see if you can score some from a disposals.

Exactly. I have just started wearing boxers after 30 years commando....and not for the comfort, fuck its horribly uncomfortable. My work pants are a bit holey and I was worried about junk making an appearance at the worst possible time lol. I wont lie, I have had a couple of embarrassing moments. Most of the guys I worked with in the sheds went commando, just the way it was. After a decent dose of chaffing you soon learn to do whatever is needed to sort that shit out.
