The most effective wicking material is polyester as it does not absorb moisture but transfers it well. Cotton is one of the worst and wool in between but nearer polyester than cotton. Polyester can also be made to be very slippy so in compression shorts it grips the skin firmly (no movement and no friction), wicks moisture away and has little friction between outer clothing and the compression shorts. The trick is to get shorts which are skin tight and move with your body - there should be no movement at all between the shorts and the skin. My problem is caused by the cheeks rubbing against each other (rather than against clothing) so wouldn't compression shorts tend to make this worse? I've always hated wearing polyester; the wicking tops seem OK but the HH shorts just seem to cause more sweatiness. Maybe the answer is to have tightish cotton over the polyester(?) Simple solution, fill the gap. ;-) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwCPh...e_gdata_player Tim |

So you have an accident, get carted off to hospital, the docter/nurse does a quick examination and discovers your arse is covered in Vaseline. Do you think they'll believe your explanation ?

Some years ago, I worked in a hospital and regularly walked through the black museum. Most of the exhibits were bits of people - but on one side there was a small glass jar. Seems someone had turned up at A&E with it stuck. Said he had been a bit squitty and placed it under in order to drive somewhere without dribbling. Then he drove over a bump in the road... Emergency operation. Jar sent to path lab. In time, a report was sent back to the surgery team, "We have to conclude that, as the label read 'Coleman's English Mustard', this was not a foreign object." -- Rod |

I can recall a couple of papers from the late 1970s, one was on the subject of penis injuries caused by misuse of the Hoover Dustette. The researcher measured the distance from the inlet to the fan blades. It was an inch or so longer than average penis length. The paper concluded that the "the novelty of the experience had driven the patients to greater lengths." The other paper had the catchy title "Construction of a device to remove a baseball from the rectum". Written IIRC by A E Morgan. |

Since the discussion has taken an ahem "rearward turn" this most probably will bring a smile: www.fugly.com/audio/585/armageddon_letter.html |
