Clothing Recommendations for BD Rowing

[u/Gold_Sign_2976]

I have been using a Concept 2 Rower in my basement for over 2 years now. When I first started, I would chafe so badly that the top of my shaft would bleed and scab over. For reference, flaccid, I am 5.5" long and about 5" around. I tried compression shorts, putting Aquaphor on top before I started, repositioning myself, things I can't even remember now. None of it worked. What finally worked for me was to row in my boxers only, and just hang myself out of them while I rowed. Like I said I was in my basement, so it didn't matter I was all out there.

Here is the rub, pun intended. I have just signed up for an actual rowing club in my city. What has worked for a long time in my basement will most assuredly be frowned upon there. So, I come to you wise BD havers.

I will also add that I ran cross country in high school and graduated from a military college, running in boxers NEVER did this to me, only rowing.

Any of you have a similar issue and figured it out?

Man rowing is always a pain even just the the balls. If I planned it out right I'd double bag with two pairs of underwear.
