Tryed that now the perenium gets sore because of the narrow material not to comfortable but the missus likes it

but sex and cycling is another thread

Its abit like flossing your arse ain't it ....lol

At least convince her not to buy the cheap bike shorts, they wear out wayyy to fast. "...why can't i ride, I'm pregnant not dying!" __________________ ..old age and trickery,beats youth and speed.

but when you suffer that kind of pain stopping pedalling is the last thing on your mind, maybe one of you women knows what your fella wears under his to prevent this occurring or do they just suffer from the chaffing caused by sweaty shorts etc ???

HAHA...now i dont wana get off topic,...but im 13 and i totally understand mate...:-p...been there done that

So I wore them for a while. No major chaffing... but recently as I changed seats and started logging tons more hours for my tour, i was findng it uncomfortable and then a friend was like you are wearing what????? but my only concern is that on my tour I will be with four guys. So changing should be interesting! However I don't wanna deal with chaffing when i have 6300 miles to bike!

Been there done that, got a blister

, promise to never never never put anything on under cycling shorts ever again. But really, it was on the first day of a 2 day 200 mile ride. Taking a shower was pure torture - like washing out a paper cut with soap, but you know where it was - and riding the next day was a wee bit painful so I have joined the ranks of the pantylineless forever.

Pick unnecessary fights, eat chocolate, shop excessively.......oh you meant what do I do about underwear?

Seriously though, I'm glad you asked, I was wondering the same thing. It's back to underwear under the shorts for that particular week, for me.

I wish I could remember my own thought process when I started wearing cycling shorts many years ago - I suspect that (without having friends to tell me that underwear wasn't needed) I may have started with underwear too, but I don't think that lasted too long. No underwear is definitely the way to go - but that also means that I was my shorts after every wearing...

I guess I'm about to sound really stupid but I never thought not to wear underwear. Now I suppose I'll really shock you. I wear boxer type workout shorts with a thin lining which I suppose could act as underwear. The lining is transparent though. Please describe what you mean by cycling shorts. Would these be the skin tight black lycra ones? Do they have some type of vented lining in the crotch area for us ladies?

What is the longest ride you have ever ridden?

If you ride a long ride you will soon learn why one does not wear underwear with cycling shorts. I learned after my first century ride. I could not sit, without feeling pain for 4 days. Without the shorts you chafe and get, for lack of a better term, dipper rash.

It is hygienic because you have the pad there, (new shorts have antibacterial agents in them) and you wash your shorts after every ride.
