Ok thanks guys. I should be clear that my main issue is chafing as well. I am fine wearing boxer briefs, but to me it is impractical to wear briefs for a commute and then have to swap out of them. In my opinion. I have a good saddle, but I could be wrong..haha. The shower before leaving advice has been great

Hurley, thanks for the shorts advice. I agree I could go cheap, but if I only need 1 pair, why?

so are you guys just hopping in the shower and cleaning them with regular soap and water?
