well, good deal - back on the 'horse'...
bike shorts actually work quite well to keeping the bandages in place. As another option - to wear around the ranch - and since bike lycra is less breathable than you'd like...
Terramar MicroMesh leggedbriefs
These guys are like bike shorts, except no chamois (obviously) and VERY breathable.
I used them back about 18 months when I had a sliding episode... I'll spare the details, but needless to say I had to 'tile' the 2nd skin onto my left hip and leg like the heat tiles on the shuttle. And no real way to put enough tape on that large of a surface. I had 2
pr of these to use under my xc-ski togs, bough a couple more, and that worked til the healing was done... I guess you could use LEGGS or other women's apparel with the legs cut off as well... Thankfully my helmet and head took most of the upper body 'hit' and the shoulder was lightly skinned.
