I basically want to use them as regular sport pants to run, walk, cycle, stretch and given that I have to walk a lot for my job, I may use them daily as a first layer, so my legs don’t hurt as much as without them. I’d also like to use em with nothing on them, because they look good like that with no lines (where I live I only see men with the leggings on, with nothing to cover their crotch). The regular pants I have are very loose, I’m tall and skinny built and I always have trouble finding the right pants: long enough to cover my legs and thin enough not to waste too much fabric. The leggings I’m testing (asics, nb) seem to do exactly that.

I’m not going to wear them on social occasions but I may do the groceries with them on.

do you think male athletes are going around with thongs on?

I have no idea, these are my first leggings.

About your link, that’s what I meant with double frontal seam, the under armour male leggings like these, but those look like underwear, so the only way to wear them is with running short, right?

well I see 4 vertical seams: 1 left, 1 right, 1 middle front and 1 middle back. Online I’ve seen some leggings have 2 frontal seams around the manhood, that’s what I meant.

so you go commando?
