Chamois and no underwear, how do you ride?
Moderators: robbosmans, Moderator Team
I wear diapers between my bum and chamois. Don't have to stop to take a leak, and it prevents me from ruining a nice pair of bibs in case I shart when I frequently pass gas to prevent others from drafting me.

Honest answer. Don't wear underwear under your shorts EVER. Just don't. They aren't designed for it. The chamois padding (it's synthetic in most cases for modern shorts) should sit in direct contact with your skin and move as part of your body. Using "chamois cream" (a gooey lanolin-based ointment, usually) can enhance comfort on very long rides even further. Nope...I'm NOT joking. Ring your local bike shop if you are not sure. Those that have suggested wearing underwear are joking/messing with you. Promise.

This type of Thread has got to be ignored if for no other reason than to prevent W Weenies from turning into just another Fred Central. The Cycling Forum for this type of Thread already exists and it is a huge cluster f^*%$$!#!
Great..........of course by responding, I have NOT ignored this kind of Thread.
