I have had a hard time adapting to built-in liners; they are more breathable than standard underwear, and for that reason, it is a little bit of a shock to commit fully to them.
That being said, as weekly mileage increases and your long runs get longer, it makes practical sense to use running shorts with a built-in brief liner. Liners reduce friction, allow for a cooler temperature run, and also reduces the stack of used underwear in your dirty hamper each week.
While liners might not be for everyone, it should be noted that most elite runners use shorts with liners. There are too many benefits. If you can brave giving a short with a liner a try you might fall in love with it.
