Balls feel sore while hiking!

A few weeks ago, I switched to a new pair of underwear (Walmart brand) because the ones I were wearing (Exofficio) got too loose on me. A day or two after that, I noticed that my balls would feel sore after a day of hiking. I went commando the next day and the soreness went away. I then went back to wearing the same underwear (Walmart brand) and had no issues until now (a few weeks later).

I went commando yesterday and today and they still hurt after a few hours of hiking. They also seemed a little swollen when I looked at them. However, when I was in town, even with walking around, I didn’t notice any discomfort and they didn’t feel swollen anymore.

Has anyone experienced anything like this? I’m guessing I should switch back to a higher-quality pair of underwear?

Clothing for SOBO

I've heard the bugs can be pretty bad at the start of a SOBO Thru-Hike. I'm starting June 15th. What clothes do you guys recommend? Long sleeve shirt and pants? What about a head net?

SOBO Lodging

Should I stay with Appalachian Trail Hostel & Outfitters before I start my hike and then stay at Braxter State Park after hiking Mt. Katahdin? Or should I stay at Braxter State Park both nights?

My gf and I are starting our SOBO thru-hike on June 15th. We want to fly to Portland, Maine because it’s cheaper. What’s the best/cheapest way to get from Portland to Baxter State Park? Thanks!

Graduating and moving out. Besides Facebook Marketplace, where else can I sell my furniture and other items I won’t be needing anymore?
