My teenage son runs in school and now wears tights in the cold weather. He asked that I buy him a thong type underwear called “dancebelt” to go with the tights. Researched this and it seems dancebelt are worn by ballet dancers for support and prevent injuries. I just feel a little weird buying a thong for my son. Does anyone know and can share if this (boys his age wearing a thong) is a thing or I’m just overthinking it?

Our coaches in 7th grade football told us all to wear jock straps, basically the same thing

But a thong is different though. There’s the strap that goes between the crack.

Never heard of this in my time running in high school and college. Guys normally just wear compression underwear (see under armour for examples) under their running tights. The double layer can be thick/squeezing, so I suppose I get what the dancebelt is going for. If collegiate and progressional runners wear compression shorts/underwear, that may be good enough reason to be accepted by your son. Or go to a running store and ask a male employee on their thoughts. They likely don’t even sell dancebelts. Nonetheless, good luck

I want to be proud and confident about this but could use some moral support.

My partner of 5 years ended our relationship last night. I’m shattered and feel absolutely sick, and I know the healing isn’t going to be easy. We were on the verge of an engagement and I was ready to spend the rest of my life with him.

I don’t know how to approach work during this time. I think I can get by, but I’m definitely not 100%. Should I talk to my boss about it? My team is close-knit and comfortable around each other, but I don’t know if it’s “appropriate.” What would you do?

So my fiancé and I are having a microwedding in Rocky Mountain National Park next year, and we’re working with an elopement planner.
She sent over a sample ceremony (intro, sweet poems + passages to be read, and example vows), and we read through it last night. I was reading it out loud while my fiancé made dinner, and it just hit me that this is really happening. I’m just really happy that I found someone who is willing to take a vow to spend his life with me and I’m so excited for that day :)
