T8 Commandos "Running" everyday underwear

Ah yes, the joys of fitness – the never-ending pursuit of health and wellness, sprinkled with a few glorious side effects like injuries, cramps, and everyone’s favorite: chafing. Oh, chafing, you sneaky little devil. You know the drill – you head out for a run, something rubs, and before you know it, you're praying to the skin gods for mercy or you cut your run short because, well, why antagonize your already tortured skin?

I’ve tried it all, trust me. Built-in underwear? Check. Separate, ridiculously expensive running underwear? You bet. Underwear from other companies saying "we are chafe free"! Yup. Slathering myself in enough Vaseline to slide across the floor? Obviously. And then there was that one time I almost performed a death-defying stunt in my own bathroom after generously coating myself in Skin Slick, turning the tiled floor into the world’s least fun slip-and-slide. Not my proudest moment, and a considerable injury to myself both physically and emotionally. 

Enter: Commandos underwear by T8. Let me set the scene. I pulled these bad boys out of the package and almost burst out laughing. Was this a joke? They weigh next to nothing and are practically see-through, with just a tiny "modesty patch" to cover what no one should see. The waistband? It’s like a gentle hug for your waist, the only part you’ll actually notice is there. Did they name this “Commandos” because it feels like you’re, well… going commando? Probably.

Now, I’ve been wearing these little marvels for about four years, and shockingly, I haven’t had to cash in on the magical “Chafe-free guarantee” that T8 and their distributor keep bragging about. Trust me, I’ve tried. I wore a pair for three consecutive runs over three days without washing them. Normally, this would have turned into a full-blown chafe disaster with other high-priced “compression” wear. But nope. Nada. And, to my utter disbelief, they didn’t even smell as awful as I anticipated. This fabric is so thin, it can’t even be bothered to hold on to anything. Sweat is just pulled from your skin to the outer of the underwear and dries in a flash.

Alright, time for the cold, hard facts, straight from the T8 website:

• Ultra-lightweight and, yes, guaranteed chafe-free.
• World's lightest full-leg running underwear, weighing in at under 40 grams – because who needs gravity, anyway?
• Designed by runners – no inner thigh seam (bless) and stitching so smooth you’ll wonder if you’re actually wearing them.
• Highly breathable, moisture-wicking, and keeping you cool, dry, and blissfully chafe-free.
• Fitted 3D stretch so comfy, you’ll want to live in them.
• Performance waistband and 6" inseam, because no one has time for ride-ups.
• Chafe-free or your money back. Yup, they’re that confident.

At RunRun, we only sell products we truly believe in. Our distribution buddy, Endurance Edge, is so confident in Commandos that they’ll give us your money to pass back if you prove you chafed. Challenge accepted, right?

And no, the legs don’t ride up – that’s a myth. They’ve got a slight elastic down there to keep things in place, and the fabric gets thinner at the ends. It's enough elastic to hold it in place, but not enough to cause any issues.

Sure, they’re not winning any beauty pageants, but if you’re a respectable human being, you’ll throw on some running shorts over the top. No one wants to see what you have - we all know what it is!

Will they tear easily? Nice try. These things are tougher than a CrossFit junkie on pre-workout.

In fact, I’ve still got my first pair, going strong after four years. I’ve even upped my stash recently and, no shame here, I wear them as regular everyday underwear now. They’re that good.

Oh, and here’s a bonus: forget wedgies, forget the ol’ “which side are the boys leaning today” issue – these undies have got you covered in every sense. Would I rock these at the beach post-run with nothing over them? Probably not. But honestly, that’s a tiny price to pay when you get to live your best chafe-free life.

Look, I know what you’re thinking. I didn’t believe it at first either. I thought no underwear could save me from that post-run sting in the shower, the cowboy waddle after a long run, the angry, red blistered chafe that makes you wonder why on earth you ever took up running in the first place. But can you even imagine not having to slather yourself in Vaseline or silicone lube like some sort of greased-up human slip 'n slide? Can you imagine not turning your bathroom into an Olympic-grade hazard zone every time you try to prep for a run? Yeah, me neither – until now.

So, go ahead. Order a pair from RunRun, and say goodbye to chafing forever. Your thighs will thank you.

 

Sizing: XS, S, M, L, XL in both Male and Female style. The sizing of Commandos is a little forgiving - I can wear a L or an XL comfortably. It's not as important as getting the Sherpa Shorts right.
