Some times things get in the way
So this is a question for the guys no here. Some times when I go bike riding things tend to get bunched up by the seat and makes things a little painful. Is there certain kinds of pants or under wear that will keep this from happening?

There are a huge variety of bike shorts. The better ones have a cut out kind of pattern for where the "onions and dipstick" go. The new materials are moisture wicking and even "anti-microbial." If you live in a larger town check with your local bike shop for your first pair and probably spend at least $50. You can order shorts online, but until you know what names to trust (Sugoi, Fox, Garneau, the list goes on) you might get things that fall apart. I still have a quality pair of Shorts from the 90s. The Chamois just keeps on working. You can also get a pair of padded Undies. That way you can wear any pair of pants or shorts around the house with your diaper that you put on.

Do you wear boxers? If so, have you ever tried boxer briefs? I'm a boxer guy, but wear boxer briefs for biking. They don't have a seam up the middle like boxers and they keep things in place better(both your things and the undies so they don't bunch) and are just generally more comfortable for biking. Otherwise, what kind of shorts do you currently wear? If they're thick material cargo shorts or something like that, just try a regular pair of shorts(unless you want the diaper or that kinda stuff) made of a thinner material with less extra fabric available to bunch. If you wear shorts with lots of extra crotch room and they're heavy material, those seams and extra material can ruin your ride. I tend to do the boxer briefs and a thin pair of cargo shorts and have always been fine. I once wore a pair of thick cargos and had some discomfort from bunched material and thick seams. Lastly, if you have a heavily padded seat then that can add to crotch discomfort in a couple different ways. Some padding is good, but a big squishy seat is overkill and actually more uncomfortable for riding more than a mile or two.

I wear bike shorts 90% of the time on the bike. The other 10% is in street clothes around town to the bier garten, bakery, store, etc and I usually make a manual adjustment of the twig and berries.
