Alright so I apologize if this question is innappropriate however, the last 2 years at Bonnaroo my biggest issue has been the heat/humidity and the chaos it creates on your "parts" area. I know girls have similar issues with this as well at Roo, so any suggestion to what types/styles of underwear work best because regualr boxers just ain't cutting it!

This made me laugh.
COVER YOUR EYES LADIES.
Just encase your mommy-daddy button in a layer of gold bond (I go for the medicated one, but regular GB works fine) and reapply as needed. One of the funnier things from my Roo experiences was watching two guys waddle past my campsite in obvious pain, then getting to their tent (about 2-3 cars away) and just popping the top off the GB they had and dumping the entire thing on themselves, while going "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" the entire time.
Don't be those guys, the Gold Bond d!ck sarcophagus is the way to go.

My husband was the most comfortable last year with Gold Bond and just compression shorts under his cargo shorts. Can't say I'm much help for the dudes My regular cotton briefs under a dress with and w/out compression shorts worked just fine for me.
Gold Bond feels nice, but for the big crotch sweaters out there, put a layer of Body Glide on first. It's a skin protectant that lasts a long time. It doesn't feel filmy or oily; it just prevents the bits from getting raw.
Then, if you like the cool, and I know us gents do, Gold Bond a lot and often.
In the AM and before the LN acts, baby wipe down the goods, re-apply the 'Bond, and you'll be good to go.
I, personally, wear sport-style trunks under my shorts, but those are my normal skivvys.
Avoid cotton. It can smell, and when it gets wet, it stays wet.
Introduced our neighbors to medicated GB last year. At one point we literally sat around in a circle drinking beers and passing around the bottle of GB.
I use the liquid GB or the type that comes in a toothpaste botttle. First thing I do when I wake up is wipe down with some baby wipes, put on a new pair of boxers, then slather some GB all over my balls and in between my legs. It instantly makes the 100degree weather feel like 60degrees
Emoney serves more of a purpose than any of you, especially Nate, whose incessant, garbled ramblings are so mindless and pointless that I get depressed just seeing them.

I never had a chaffing problem last year. But a few girls in my large camp had issues and I gave them my bottle and they said I was a life-saver. So its worth bringing if only to make other peoples' day that much brighter.
For the underwear situation, I brought like 10 pairs last year and wore 2 pairs a day. Its great to change once the sun goes down and its much cooler. Just makes you feel fresher. And it doesn't take up that much more room in your pack. Its just underwear.

monostat antichaffing gel and gold bond. you can also use the walmart knock off brands of these to include the cheaper baby rash gels in the baby area also.....bike type shorts or compression shorts i found some that are thick enough to not be see through and not too tight but they protect my legs.
and by the way, im skinny and i still have this issue...dont go without a variety of underwear options and with the gel and powder

1. Bathe with Dr. Bronner's Peppermint soap. 2. DRY YOUR NETHER REGIONS WELL! 3. Apply Gold Bond. We use the blue. Says its for feet but trust me... (step 2 is very important) 4. Head to Centeroo feeling like there's 100 Eskimos blowing on your bits and pieces!

I use the same system I use for hiking/backpacking:
1. Keep your junk clean with baby wipes 2. Gold Bond 3. Critical IMO: Under Armour Heat Gear boxer briefs. They dry quickly, let the air flow, can be worn for several days before the funk gets overwhelming. A tad pricy but well worth the price of admission.

Heat-wicking synthetic boxer briefs or compression shorts and gold bond or body glide. Synthetic being the key, no cotton. A bit o' manscaping goes a long way too.
loose ass shorts and freeballin! why do you want more layers to chafe on? or be soaky sweaty wet next to your skin? that causes chafein' and all cotton shorts! your junk will stay dry and airy!

I was lying in a burned out basement With the full moon in my eyes. I was hoping for replacement When the sun burst thru the sky. There was a band playing in my head And I felt like getting high.

Into the gold bond route. If you look in the sports section of target, I think under armor has sweat absorbing underwear. A little but more expensive but does a good job of keeping it dry.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
ohdearlord, I hope I don't have dreams tonight of Eskimos blowing on all y'all's collective naughty bits.
On a side note: since Gold Bond is made in my city, I'll contact the marketing folks to see if maybe they'll let me have a big ol' box of sample sizes to bring to Brunch. That's easier to transport than a trunk full of Eskimos.
Wick-away underwear (the kind you use for backpacking) always works for me. I've brought gold bond to the last two summer fests I've been to and never had to use it.
I work on the hot side of a kitchen so I am pretty accustomed to this. I don't put gold bond or body glide on everyday although I do take gold bond to roo. If I wear any pair of boxers to work that aren't from old navy I can barely walk by the end of a shift. They are cut really baggy and allow the guys to hang. Have never used compression shorts and I don't think I would feel comfortable in them. I hear wonders though. Get some boxers from old navy. Their not cheap but they are really thick to help absorb moisture and do a really good job for being cotton.

Add Under Armour boxer jock boxer briefs and you'll be up to 200 Eskimos
just curious as to why cotton is so frowned upon for men's boxers? if I invest in some under armour type heat-wicking boxers, how many pairs do you guys go through? at $15, those are some pricey boxers!
also, while polyester compression shorts sound good in theory...it seems like keeping everything all bunched up tight would only make things uh...hotter and sweatier down there, no? Mind you i've never worn boxers that weren't 100% cotton.
My regular cotton briefs under a dress with and w/out compression shorts worked just fine for me.
