1st of all I never wear underwear under bike shorts.

2nd I do wear underwear under regular clothing. Don't like the feeling of the boys swinging around in my jeans. I wear carpenter style jeans, don't care for the regular fit style. So my jeans are not snug enough to keep my boys in place. Oh and I wear briefs, not boxers, again it has to do with the swinging around feeling. Believe me the first time you sit on something down there the wrong way in a conferance meeting you learn how to correct it.

Trust me, the boys get acclimated. Soon, but only if given enough freedom, they will act as a separate entity, and move independently if a hazard is confronted. Only through this training and liberation will the boys reach their full potential. Freedom is the only answer. Do me this favor – give free-balling a legitimate opportunity to succeed or fail. Go commando for a period of no less than 3 weeks in succession. You will then be a convert, and you will not look back.

Trust me - you can (and will!) thank me later.

I too wear no underwear under cycling shorts.

Tried going commando under normal clothes. Don't like the feeling of freedom.

Anyway there is a specific purpose for not wearing underwear under CYcling Shorts

That could be a valid point, however you can't wear any undies under those or they won't be underwear. Or something like that

Haven't worn undies of any sort in 10 years. Neither has my fiance. And now that I wear almost exclusively kilts 'regimental' style, it's like an entirely new NEW world of freeness.

Still trying to work out kilts & bikes...

I did not vote here. Can't . My answer does not fit..I Never wear underwear under cycling shorts with one exception..
I found some winter underwear..Seamless......It has a front panel to keep your stuff warmer and out of the wind..
Underwear Nazi does not approve..With this one exception..Sorry..Just do not like Jack Frost nibbling on our niblets.
The panel breathes yet keeps the chill factor above 40..Sorry, we So Calers are spoiled...Anything under 45 degrees is not to be tolerated.

Or maybe you will be chafed. . .

I, um, kinda like it.
Sounds like a rebirth of the codpiece.

And if you like the boxer briefs over the bike shorts, why not a jock over the bike shorts? Much more emphasizing, if you know what I mean; direct and to the point (so to speak). As long as the size tag doesn't show. . .

Wearing undies under bike shorts is about as ridiculous as swimmers wearing undies under swimsuits.

Actually, I prefer to wear my underwear on my head when I'm wearing cycle shorts. Sometimes I wear it under my helmet, to help absorb the sweat. And sometimes I like to stretch it out over the top of the helmet and pull the sides down so they cover my ears.

You must be very popular in your neighborhood

I thought we shot this thread a while ago.

I guess some things just won't die

It's better with a pink thong that doesn't belong to you.

there's a catch...I don't wear cycling shorts....so i do wear underwear since underwear chafing is easier on me than zipper burn...anything that hurts my passenger makes me sad
