I will admit to being sans underwear at times other than on a bike and to fully appreciating it more on a bike than any other time.:D

Actually Germaine Greer mentions her (woman) gynecologist recommending going without panties as a Women's Health measure in the '70's. Those were days of strange synthetics and nylon.

Well then, there you go. For me it's mostly about non-conformism and being a non-fan of any sort of bunching. :p Plus, when it's warm it's one less layer...

My grandmother passed away this year at age 100. She was not in the habit of always wearing panties, especially in the summer time. I think it had to do with her being raised on the farm, etc. Although she was very ladylike and loved her costume jewelry (she was wearing a gigantic cocktail ring as we witnessed her pass away in her sleep), I think panties to her were more a genteel air than a practical necessity.

If I wore more dresses, as she did, I would probably wear panties less. But I can't imagine jeans and shorts without panties. Bike shorts? Of course!

Love it re: your grandmother.

Jeans = always commando for me. Shorts = never. I'd never want to accidentally give someone an eyeful!

I was afraid to confess, in case it was TMI, but I'm with you on this. After years of trail running in lycra shorts, I'm pretty much commando most of the time. Unless I'm wearing a short skirt. :D

I just "found" you all this morning. Timing is great. :D I wanted to read about the bike I think I am buying today (hear that fear?) I got the advice and then some women-think and solidarity and a good roaring laugh about shorts, the lack of undies and mooning. Ladies, ladies. I will be back for all these smiles!:)

Welcome to TE Flying Fish. What bike are you buying today? This list is absolutely wonderful. The women have helped me, a novice, decern clothing, bikes, riding techniques, and oh so much more. I love it here and hope you do as well. :)

Remember! When you decide to go commando don't forget to let us know so the SMILES keep coming!

MEANWHILE!

Commando - the only way to go. I finally got my DH on board, too. Honestly I think men's VPL's are worse than women's!

Kitsune06, re: jeans -- I wear them a bit loose - mostly men's levi's as I'm over 6ft and slim. - Thing is I have a heck of a time finding womens jeans with the proper inseam that aren't in sizes larger than I am.

Heck, I'll not lie - I've got a couple of tighter fitting ones other than mens Levi's that I go commando in too. Just depends on the mood and never 'that time of month'. Not to be gross!

Anyway, I've never had a problem with seams...

Sorry if this is TMI but I've been in a thong or commando for years. Sometimes I just don't want to deal with the undies thing, I don't know. With a soft pair of jeans it's just plain nicer than 1: having on big unders that go up your butt (mine is fairly, um, athletic? muscular?) anyway, they always end up 'riding', or, 2: having on a thong which can be uncomfortable, esp. after a long ride.

Only problem with commando is that some folks (mostly men from what I can see) wear shorts that are too thin or small. The fabric is screaming and I am behind them on a bike club ride......nothing but CRACK. :eek: Yuk!!! At the end of the ride I said to my friend, " you would tell me if that was me, right?" Just my two cents.....

Add me to the commando girls...

Bike shorts of course, but the first thing I do went I get home from work (if I'm wearing a skirt) is to shed my knickers...

No commando in jeans though :rolleyes:

That's disgusting. Seems like it would hurt.

L.A., up in the thread you started on "urinating", I asked you to introduce yourself. I very much doubt you are a female cyclist. If you are, I'm wrong. But since I asked you to introduce yourself, you've simply posted three more times about bodily functions. Highly suspicious.

I was thinking along those same lines...

DITTO!! It would be the polite thing to introduce yourself, L.A.

...And obviously uncomfortable.

Umm... kinda like your markedly noticeable fascination with women's bodily functions.

Thistle

09-23-2006, 03:35 PM

I'll do that.

It's just tacky, unsanitary, and trashy to wear jeans without underwear. And obviously uncomfortable.

Dont hold back, tell us how you really feel :rolleyes:

If you were a woman, I could respect your opinion, but to post and read here because you have a fetish doesnt warrant respect.

Go away.

Consult an appropriately trained professional, such as a psychologist.

Best wishes for a successful treatment program.

Me too! I reported him, am sure I was not the only one, but just 20-30 mins. after I reported him, the threads were GONE. He may well be back later, though, as I suppose nothing stops him from re-registering under a different screen name, but I certainly hope he has better things to do with his time. If he does come back, we have to all agree NOT TO RESPOND TO HIS POSTS. That just fuels his game.

All true. But I think some of us responded at first because like me, we assumed he was a woman and he feigned sincerity. I reported him too, as I'm sure lots of us did.
