No, I'm not helping with that.

This. Make sure everything is in front and up as high as possible. Gross, I know, but it works. Reminds me of that picture shown on the forum here sometimes...well, let's not go there.

Yeah this is what I usually do now but it's tough when tackling those nice long gradients. I was looking for a more long term fix, w/out giving up my baby making privileges

The padding in the shorts was too thick and created a crease. The crease pinched my scrotum. I was as red as a strawberry. And by then, it hurt badly.

I've never worn those shorts since.

Heavy padding in cycling shorts is misguided anyway. How thick is the crotch of your shorts?

I have Canari 4 panel gels from a few years ago

This thread has potential.

Is there a Park tool for this?

If there is, then the "blue tool" would be accurate in more ways than one...

^This for sure. I have to do it every 20 miles or so.

reach down; grab them and lift them up. try to do it when no one is looking.

reg: padding in most bike shorts is thicker than necessary - I agree and now prefer the liners in trisuits and trishorts

You could try wearing a thong (eww, I know sounds creepy). Unlike a jockstrap there are no leg straps to cause chaffing, but it will still keep the boys under control.

Wow, i didn't think i'd find an opportunity to use this again. P.S. This will be playing in your head when you ride in one!

umm....NOT this.

seriously, how hard is it to hoist the boys as needed? I did so while riding on the way home 2day.
