Cycling panties, yay or nay?

I'm on the fence.

Could be good for commuting, but I'm not sure I'd want to wear them all day.

I think I'd be afraid of chafing where the fabric ended.

This, I think I would be concerned with chafing.

The funding of a female TDF equivalent would be increased exponentially if the riders just wore such a product, now just add a little bralet and you might get the success the beach volleyball girls got.
Hilarious useless crap otherwise. The pad on my shorts is pretty damp even after an hours ride. If I was commuting, I wouldn't have a sliver of a saddle.

Hmm. In general I'd say that any padding thick enough to be useful is also going to be too thick for me to want to wear it all day. But I still like the idea. If I lived downtown and did a lot of short city rides and wanted to wear regular clothes - especially skirts - I'd probably rather wear these than just regular panties.

Sure, why not. Not all rides are long and you might as well be comfortable.
