Finally you're discussing a serious topic! ;-)

I know the problem, but I don't have a solution, either. But if it's just a question of time, I think you'll just have to decide whether you'd rather juggle one minute longer or have dry underwear.

You could, of course, get somebody to change your underwear while you're juggling, near the end of your practice session...

try wearing a thong, that will minimize the amount of underwear in contact with your skin. Also try dropping the underwear all together (freeballing) , I mean, you still have pants on right?

Vova, im with you buddy ;) Have you ever get to the point when your sweaty underwear leaves stains on your pants? Looks like you couldn't get to the toilet in time...

Sweat sucks. I was going to go for the no undies solution, which might not be good for crotch combinations. Imagine getting clipped in the nads from a crotch catch because your junk isn't all neat and tidy. That would blow pretty bad.

As for weird sweat patterns, I only sweat from my knees down on my legs. It looks like I was wading through a river right after I got done. Sometimes I even make a *squish squish* sound when practice is over. I could saw off my knees and be done with it, but that obviously has it's downfalls.

Crank up the AC! I, unfortunately don't have any handy practice area indoors, so I have to do all my practicing outside. And I can tell you, I have absolutely zero sweaty underwear problems during the winter practices.

I go without underwear. I sweat a lot, but clearly dont have that problem.

yes unfortanitly i have this problem, this is why i am choosing to go anonymous. the solution: under armer underwear. though it can get pretty "tight", but its better then ass sweat marks on your pants.
-????

thats called SWASS vova! :)

sweat + ass= SWASS if anyone was wondering....

Two things. First, I wanted to say that after watching the Fatboy video countless times, I can finally do the 5 ball combo that was done on the roof. Multicolumns to stacked cascade to shower, or something like that. Also, I noticed that I always look stupid when I juggle. My mouth is always hanging open, as is anyone else's that tries juggling. Any tips?

I have a tip for you Claymation, shut your mouth.

Well I don't get that problem, maybe it's cause I'm not good enough though.

I often wear button-up warm-up pants when I know I'm going to do some serious work. Like the pants basketball players wear while on the bench that you can just tear off without having to bend over, which is also a useful feature :P
The slits between buttons allow air to get through, but keeps modesty safe. Unless you catch on something no one knows the difference :)

Other than that, I'd say make sure the sweats are only one thin layer of fabric. Multilayered pants obviously capture more moisture and don't breath.

For thw SWASS problem, you might try Underarmour Underwear. I've used it for running and it seems to wick the water away pretty well.

I'm curious, how long do you practice?

I have the same problem. If I were you I would juggle in shorts rather than pants, shorts are alot cooler and you don't sweat as much. Don't worry about style, I know all the WJF competors care about the sporty-baggy pants look but when your practicing just use shorts!!!!

Another option is just to where really thin clothing, not the extrmely thick and heavy pants. Or where your b-day sute, works like a charm.

Carry and extra pair of underwear, go to the bathroom change, and go where you gotta go :).

I have a solution,

I like to practice alot everyday and i sweat alot too. what i do for this is put baby powder in the underwear. it keeps my underwaear dry really good also this works for sweaty shoes.

Start wearing the old time pajama pants that they wear in the cowboy movies... the kind that has the open butt-flap in them. I started wearing them just for practice...butt flap open of course... and now I wear them in my show. Sure they are one solid color and look like prison issue... but who can put a price on comfort.

There are several companies that make lightweight synthetic underwear that dries quickly. Ex-offico, Patagonia

To address your "perspiration" issue.
First , please understand that this is natures way of keeping your gonads well below the body temperatures that you are generating during a workout. Juggling raises the bodies core heat, and heat kills spearm. At the risk of sounding "crass" your body then uses crotch and ass sweat to assist your scrotum in the cooling down those family jewels to make certain no damage is done by the heat. We just want to make certain that you can go out after practice without needing to wrap a towel around your waist. This can progress into a more serious problem, can get baby butt rash, folliculitis or other very uncomfortable /painful conditions.

Start with the basics, and hope that this takes care of the problem. Thongs are not the answer. A jock strap might have come closer, but all boys know those do nothing. When you're selecting underwear to use during juggling it has to be 100% cotton (no man made/synthetic fibers). Square cut boxer briefs with the venting holes allow for air to ciruculate and cotton wicks moisture away from the body. While we're on proper clothing to keep you dry, 100% cotton tube socks as well,once gravity has pulled the sweat down just past the knees the cotton wicks it down and away. Followed by a good leather soled gym shoe or footwear. My guess is that you're wearing shoes with a lot of man made materials. Except for your cotton pants that are getting to hold all the moisture and sweat becasue your other clothing will not accept it and wick it down and away from your pants. Next step is actually doing skin care to yorself before you workout, you just need a few modifications to avoid "excessive perspiration" which leads to "prickly heat". Hopefully you don't have any rashes of skin lesions on your ass or crotch now, trust me they can and do occur.( if present then you can't follow the next steps and need to do a different set of instructions.

Shower or bathe as you normally would prior to going out to juggle. After you have towel dried and allowed your body and groin area to complete drying go ahead and apply a thin layer of nonscented/clear anti-perspirent, Alum works too. (NOT DEODORANT!)Apply to the offending sweaty anatomy,followed by "corn starch" ( the cheap plain ole corn starch without any odor or smell)... (not baby powder) and dust your happy parts. some prefer to do this before the underwear is on , some put it on after. it to the groin and ass area and any other place that you've noticed "wet places" DO NOT apply anti-perspirant DIRECTLY to your penis or scrotum. The surrounding areas are alright, and most of the sweat is from the ass and perineum. Corn Starch can go on everything. even put some in a shaker container to take with you so you can reapply right before you leave the gym, so that your pants continue to stay dry, and you don't "chill" (as you cool down when the sweat starts to evaporate quickly and draws off heat).

I hate to tell all the freeballers out there, you're just getting your funky crotch sweat out onto your pants quicker...manly? perhaps, necessary not in 2007! Hope this helps, who'd have thunk that you could put antiperspirant on your ass and perineum before they stated smelling and sweating all over the place? Please do not use this if your skin is broken down. I apologize for the length of this, I hope it is understandable.
