My tri shorts fit fairly snug, so haven't had the need for any additional support.

I have been dealing with the same issue and kicked around the idea of wearing a speedo under the tri shorts. If anyone has tried this I would like to know the results along with other suggestions.

I have the orca short as well but am used to tri shorts so they feel fine. Rather than wearing something like a speedo under them try putting your bike shorts over for the bike portion if you want more comfort - there will be less risk of chafing as you would get from the speedo underneath and you can slip them (the bike short) on and off relatively easisly in transition.
Last season I ran in my bike shorts during duathlon races due to me being cheap and not wanting to buy tri shorts. I have now bought some Orca tri shorts that were on sale at my local bike shop. They felt nice when I was trying them on, but now that I have run around in them a bit I noticed that they offer much less "male support" than even my bike shorts. :rolleyes: Is this normal with Tri shorts? Does anyone wear a jockstrap to keep things together? If so, have they hampered your biking comfort?
Thanks
