itch

I have a couple of pairs of padded shorts that give me a terrible case of the itch, down there, everytime I wear them. I get rid of the itch with tea tree oil. How do I treat these shorts so they quit infecting me? I put them in the wash, then give them a good hand rinsing and wringing and they still harbor something nasty. What do I do?

It could be the lycra because its only 2 pairs that do it to me. My others don't.
