I have an entire wardrobe closet under my desk at work. I've got extra shirts, shoes, pants, underwear, socks and warmth.

Yes, I'm a chick. No I'm not putting photos of my underwear on the internet. Well, not more photos. I do have extra shoes hiding in my desk. Hopefully they will give us lockers and I can throw extra clothes in there too. Luckily, I can go commando most of the time. if I forget a bra, it's over. I'm going home.

Wakko: It's a cow eating grass. [holds up a blank paper]
Dr. Scratchansniff: But where's the grass?
Wakko: The cow ate it.
Dr. Scratchansniff: Well, where's the cow?
Wakko: Well, he isn't going to stick around if there isn't any more grass to eat.

I hadn't heard the commando term in years! I may have forgotten underwear once, but worse was when my work attire was a dark suit and the only socks I had were my white anklets. It also felt weird in slip-on shoes with leather soles!

It's threads like this one that remind me again why I ride in normal clothes!
It is finally cooling off, the high today was 86! Sweet!

+1 on the water bottle trick. I have one dark blue with emergency underwear and socks. I also have a small travel size deodorant, a new toothbrush and travel sized paste... all in the bottle.

Put them in a ziplock bag, or better yet, a small piece of tupperware or something. That should make them totally discreet. Anyone who starts opening up tupperware they find in your drawer can't complain about what they find.

Heck, it doesn't bother me at all. I have a whole filing cabinet sized drawer full of clothes. When I'm changing out, I DO try not to have dirty undies lying on the floor for too long before I wedge them into my bag.
