Road Cycling - under your shorts?

just curious, what do y'all wear under your cycling shorts, if anything?

Not a damned thing.

I freeball too.

nothign at all...

nadda.....just shorts!

Fellas, don't let the ladies over in the Women's forum hear you say "nothing". Better be something (just not clothing) ...

Coolmax underwear.

nothing, just my lunch box :D

A tree with two coconuts...

Where's the Underwear Nazi when you really need him?

I used to wear underwear under my shorts ala Denver Fox and a few others. However, I found that cotton underwear do not wick sweat, they store it, causing chafing. And my LBS doesn't carry either chamois cream or Butt Butt'r because they say with the construction of modern chamois' it isn't needed.

So, two days ago, I emulated the Underwear Nazi, and, lo and behold, perfectomundo! No chafing.

Plus, on the first day of going "commando," a nice looking woman honked at me and yelled "Nice butt!"

I use thin polyester briefs. I was about to give them up as my rides approach 50 miles, but I'm back to the comfort zone with the briefs with an application of BODYGLIDE. It works and it's not messy.

The UN is hiding, as usual, ashamed of his/her ways!

But you notice DnvrFox is here with the TRUTH!

UN - come out, come out, from whatever hole you are hiding in!

I'm a girlie and I wear nothing either. Why wear anything -- you need to let your stuff breathe!! :p

I stuff a rolled sock in there to impress myself.

just me and Kong.

Nothing. (less than nothing according to my wife :()

I regret coming so late to this discussion. Unfortunately, I have recently been detained after a minor incident involving a young woman who I suspected was wearing panties beneath her padded bike shorts. My lawyer advises me that it is best not to say much more on this matter at the present. I would, however, like to thank the good soldiers who gave pearcem righteous and helpful advice in my absence.

I would just like to add that anyone who wears underwear under their bicycle shorts is defective--mentally, morally and physically. Bike shorts are designed to be worn next to the skin with nothing underneath, except, possibly, a thin glaze of Chamois Creme. Putting seamy, hydrophilic cotton briefs under your bike shorts is an invitation to painful, bleeding saddle sores.

Pearcem, remember the code of the Underwear Nazi: No underwear under bike shorts for any reason ever. No excuses. Got it? Good.

I was just checking for panties. Really.

How do you pedal with all that goose-steppin?

Underwear defeats the purpose of the chamois and padding.
Go commando the way you're supposed to. I ALWAYS do!

gotta go "commando"

Well, I mostly wore good ole regular briefs. Then on my last ride, I yanked 'em off and placed them in the backback and went with nothing. Hmmm..much cooler, didn't seem to change the cushioning effect much.
Honestly, I'm not sure if it made any difference at all!

Hey, all you folks who ride barebutt...is there a greater chance of chafing with or without the UW? I rather wear UW than have to start buying butt cream and other messy stuff.

I've been telling people for ages, running around chasing after young women in the park and yelling at them to take off their panties is just a bad idea, especially if there are cops around... tsk tsk..

Don't wear any. Don't wear cycling shorts either! I wear running shorts....But then I ride a recumbent. The air cooling is fantastic. Just waiting for the day a bee decides to go exploring!

I wear whity tighties under my shorts. My problem is not the usual one (I don't get chaffing or butt sores or anything like that) but rather involves the wedding tackle. I'm about ready to shave everything because the pulling and friction is enough to make me want to cry. Will this problem go away if I lose the underwear?

Try it, Judd.

Captain Solo and the Wookies go commando. Cuts down on the binding and bunching.

So that's where you have been lately, getting into someone's bike shorts? WOOHOO, you go, Underwear Nazi!

:rolleyes:

The Perverts Anonymous meeting has been rescheduled for Tuesday night at 7:00 p.m. I think Merton is going to be the guest speaker!

When I get too hairy down there I get out the clippers and cut down the excess growth.

Plus it makes your thing look bigger... No... Did I just say that, :( .

I can't believe anyone would wear underwear under their biking shorts. It just doesn't make sense. Cotton is so uncomfortable and doesn't breathe and if you wear coolmax, isn't your biking shorts made out of the same material?

On a side note... Does everyone use cream or is it just a handful? Do people use it only to prevent or to cure whatever ails them? If I don't have any problems would it do me good to start using some cream?

Some of us have never used cream or vaseline, or baby powder or goopy goop. Of course, we wear undies.

I always find these threads hilarious.

go commando

Right on - they should NOT be taken seriously, although we always have some humor-impaired folks who do just that! :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:

I learned that the hard way. Chafing and man it hurt, especially on the fourth hour of a five hour ride!

I use Bodyglide. It comes in stick form for easy application to either your, er heiny, or directly to the chamois. Works great, too. One $6 stick lasts about a month of everyday riding.
