    TMI!!!

    I just tried a few pairs of Duluth Trading 'Bare Naked Underwear". Put them in with the regular rotation and smile when I grab a pair. I may switch over to them exclusively. The stay in place, absorb posterior fluids and are very comfortable. They aren't cheap.

    If you sign up for their email list you can get them pretty reasonable when they are on sale.

    They ain't cheap but they're totally worth it; I stock up every time they go on sale. That's the only kind I wear nowadays. I've tried the "bullpen" boxer briefs in buck naked, dang soft, and armachillo but I'm switching to the "bullpen" free range organic cotton because I prefer cotton over any other material, and also because it's probably the smartest thing to wear under FRs.

    I was told to use the original Body Glide when I was in the military. It made the hikes in the sand more bearable. Who’d of thought a sailor would have to do beach humps. I still think my detailer was pissed I refused to go to the 5 walled prison… or I mean the pentagon.

    sit on a purple cushion, it keeps an inch of air flow between you and the seat so the skin can breathe, and the thick gel honeycomb structure moves and bends with your weight by like a half inch in all directions to keep circulation going without having to keep readjusting yourself all day. when I sit on this thing I sit down once and in 8 hours I don't have to readjust anything even once, compared to sitting on just the truck seat I look like meth addict in the throws of withdrawal all day moving and shifting and peeling and tugging etc etc....

    Anti-Monkey Butt powder is expensive... Save money and get a cooling effect with the "Equate" (Walmart) brand aqua blue bottle of body powder. I think its actually Gold Bond extra strength, but you can never tell these days. A 10 oz bottle is about $5, compared to $10 for 6 oz of monkey butt.

    Crying in food service….

    I’m not really overweight but I do sweat a lot. I’ve been wearing Hanes x cool or something like that. They’re alright. Jock itch is my enemy so a shower every day even on days off helps a ton. Lotromin AF at the slightest notion of a problem.

    Thank god I can wear shorts. Still, nothing like getting sweaty and jumping into a truck all day… oh well.

    Try working in the oilfield covered head to toe with flame resistant clothing. It sucks. Really bad. They don’t make that stuff out of nice soft materials, company issued anyhow.
