    I grew up hunting in the 70's as a 10yr old up through the 80's wearing the standard Kiwi hunting gear, the Kiwi Kilt, a full length Swannie commando or in the cold with a pair of Rugby shorts commando under it ,all supposedly to stop crutch rot .Then when l started shearing in the 80's you were told to go commando to stop crutch rot & slowing down the crew tally. Never ever suffered from it,so dont know whether good luck or good planning ,but commando has been away of life for me.The US & l think UK military issue "silky" shorts to stop it on forced marches etc so maybe see if you can score some from a disposals.

    In all seriousness, they work very well. The 24hr rogan event Canty uni run (TWALK) encourages costumes so one year we entered an Otago team as Scots highlanders.

    The knees got a wee bit scratched up in the matigouri but work well otherwise.

    Exactly. I have just started wearing boxers after 30 years commando....and not for the comfort, fuck its horribly uncomfortable. My work pants are a bit holey and I was worried about junk making an appearance at the worst possible time lol. I wont lie, I have had a couple of embarrassing moments. Most of the guys I worked with in the sheds went commando, just the way it was. After a decent dose of chaffing you soon learn to do whatever is needed to sort that shit out.

    Some ripper ideas and some not so flash ideas

    So key point is keep plenty of air round your nuts.

    Last night I ordered a couple of pairs of gruts from @Sarvo and a breathable pair of shorts so will give them a crack.

    Seems like this problem is quite common is one form or another.

    Chafing tends to be linked to girth. Bigger fellas are more prone. I get the thigh chafe when I'm packing a few kg more than I should be.

    I fit that description....went for a good walk pack on two days fully expected some chafe....good as gold and I sweated like a sweaty thing all the way in and out.
    Today at work...fresh showered in morning, ultra high humidity...shorts,,cotton boxers, cotton overalls.....way way less exertion but got arse chafe.
    No airflow in overalls in a big tin shed.

    @Stag, I have been mulling and contemplating your testicles and may have now the best serious answer and solution.
    Kids in nappies are prone to Nappy Rash. They have very thin soft skin and pee in their naps as well, so as bad as it gets.
    The Zinc and Castor oil barrier ointment sold for kids is outstanding for nappy rash. I have a part pot of it here and I tried it on cracked hands and it really sticks as well as keeping the skin soft which products like Vaseline dont. They stop chaf but pull oils out of the skin.

    .... would be interesting to see how making your ball sack more leathery works - especially when the wife doesn't have to "cure" the skin before she turns it into a purse.........
    Actually, that's not funny on reflection.

    Common issue when wading in rivers / flyfishing.

    Couple of things sorted it for me:

    Boxer style briefs - fishing mate of mine got me onto Falke briefs many years ago - awesome.

    Bit of baby power / corn starch at night, and commando - let the boys dry out and breathe

    If it all goes horribly wrong - any of the nappy rash / breastfeeding nipple creams - Bepanthen etc.
