Thanks guys!
I ended up not having a heavy day after all, so just shorts went just fine
I picked up some hydrogen peroxide, which I'm sure will come in handy in the future. Plus, I'm lucky that one pair of my shorts has a black chamois, so I guess that pair will kind of have a designated use now
Thanks for the advice, and yay for TE!

That is all.

Hot flashes differ between women. I rarely have any at all, and I had a surgical menopause (I don't think that matters). My mother had bad hot flashes for 15 years...

I'm kinda looking forward to them. I'm always freezing- so the thought of being burning hot for minutes at a time is somewhat tantalizing.
I already have major night sweats, so I'm partway there.

Really and truly, not all women get horrible hot flashes in perimenopause or menopause.

Horror stories?
just never buy a white saddle I guess.
you'll be the only one to see your chamois so black shorts are all that is needed.
if you get a leak, at the next restroom stop press out the chamois with some T.P. and you're good to go.It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.

I have a pair of baggie shorts w/ seperate chamois liner that I wear during tom and I just put the pad on the chamois, it will be ok. Those particular shorts are bulky anyhow, so I don't notice much difference and it's discreet as well. This is pads and/or pantiliners. Jenn Originally Posted by Espresso

I guess it depends what kind of riding you do. I just commute and bike around town, at a relaxed pace. Panty liners are fine for me. I think if I had a race or tour, I would just skip my period altogether (oh, the magic of BC pills). Of course that won't work if you race often, but for a special event, screw bleeding.
