just tell her that u think it will improve your skills... if it makes to perform better, there is no shame in asking. just ask!!!

Tell your mom you want to get serious when you run and to do that you need these compression shorts, or maybe you could ask your dad? Another option is to get the money yourself and go out and buy them. Maybe when your mom or dad is shopping ask to tag along and just go and buy it.

Go to the mall with your friends or have your parents drop you off by yourself and get some. That way you never even have to bring up the subject with your parents.

hiya..(:
joke around with your mom about how goofy compression shortsl ook or something..then say yours are getting to be a bother. then be like oh hey, mom i saw these special breifs for running, could we look into them? i think they'll really help this season. hows that work? oh and for the record, there are many types of underwear for men that help with running that aren't cotton. i suggest just going to your local sports store. have friends bring u, or ride your bike.
