Hello Bovineguy,

Glad to hear that your first kilting experiences went well. Please don't fall into the trap of believing that because you wear a kilt, you have to go regimental. This is debated here every three months, so I won't rehash it again.

My maxim is this: Wear what is appropriate for the activity in which you are engaged. Would you wear a kilt while skydiving? or spray painting? or welding? or swimming? or doing handstands?

My advice would be to buy a pair of black boxer shorts type underwear for those situations when you are out in public. I do not mean briefs or legged briefs, which are often and incorrectly called boxers. I mean true boxers - hang from the waist and give coverage, but no support. You retain your modesty, but have all the "freedom" that we kiltwearers love.

As time goes on and you become more proficient at sitting, you can dispense with the boxers and go regimental if you wish.

The other thing is practise. You have to practise sitting down again and again and again till you get it off pat. I would suggest doing it in front of a mirror if you can. That way you will be able to see what others see - or not.

Good luck and more good experiences.

Regards

Chas
