Male Organ Care for Joggers - Protecting the Package During and After a Run
Jogging and running, whether for exercise
or competition, constitute one of the most efficient ways to get in shape, trim
off extra weight, and build endurance. There is no question that there are
multiple benefits to working in a daily run, but this high-impact exercise does
take its toll on the body. Men and women alike can be affected by joint pain,
and women, of course, generally require a sports bra for firm support. One of
the major issues that many men have with running is the damage caused by
constant male organ chafing against their shorts, as well as the bouncing,
swinging action that can leave a pecker feeling bruised and sore. Fortunately,
this problem is avoidable, as long as a man is willing to take the necessary
steps for male organ care both during and after a run.
Here are some of the ways that a man can
protect the goods while he is pounding the pavement:
- Athletic supporter – The tried-and-true jock strap is an ideal way
to hold the twig and berries firmly in place while running. Men should
look for high-quality supporters and check for proper fit. A jock strap
can be worn with or without underwear; a pair of briefs might provide some
extra support, as well as helping to wick moisture away from the body. The
athletic supporter should be washed and dried properly after each use;
otherwise, the built-up sweat, dirt and body oils will only cause further
chafing of the delicate male organ skin.
- Compression shorts – Compression shorts are athletic garments that are
worn under the clothing. They provide support for the muscles, wick
moisture away from the body, and can help to hold the male organ firmly in
place. Many men prefer compression shorts to athletic supports due to the
comfort factor, as well as the more streamlined appearance. Some shorts
come with a sewn-in pocket in the front where a cup can be inserted,
although it is not clear that this can hold the goods in place as well as
a traditional athletic supporter. Compression shorts should fit properly –
if they are too tight, they will restrict circulation, thus creating a
potential risk to male organ health.
- Bike shorts – Cycling shorts are similar to compression
garments; the real difference is that they are padded in the seat to ease
the strain of sitting in a bicycle saddle for extended periods of time.
These can be used as an alternative to compression shorts and offer a good
solution for triathletes who both cycle and run.
Soothing the sting and protecting the
goods
Prevention is the best medicine when it
comes to male organ chafing, but once the damage is done, a man needs to know
how to soothe a burning member and speed up the healing process. While going
without pants altogether while the healing takes place might be the ideal
solution, it is not practical, so some alternative answers are needed.
First of all, the male organ should be washed
carefully to remove any traces of sweat or grime that might continue to chafe
the already-stressed skin. A mild cleanser is more appropriate than a harsh
soap, and even simply rinsing in warm water should be enough to get the job
done.
In addition, applying a male
organ health formula (health
professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil) that
is enriched with Shea butter – a high-quality moisturizer and emollient – can
soothe tender skin and create a moisture barrier to protect it from ongoing
friction. Vitamins such as A, E, C and D also work to speed healing and prevent
the formation of toughened, keratinized skin that can dull male organ
sensation. Finally, wearing a
soft, comfortable, slightly-snug pair of briefs will help to reduce any further
rubbing.
