embarassing question

[DebW]

Anyone else have trouble wearing underwear off the bike when you're in good biking shape? There is a large tendon that connects the inner thigh muscle to the front of the pubic bone, and cycling seems to make it quite thick. Then my underwear cuts into it and becomes really annoying. Sometimes I wear boxers or go commando to avoid the pressure there.

ooooooo I can't wait until I get that muscle!
I went from having the skinniest legs in town to having normal looking legs thanks to biking. No massive muscles sticking out yet!

Jockey's "No Panty Line Promise" underwear don't cut into that tendon. They also don't ride up your b*tt.

My favorites are the high-cuts. Bikini cuts bothered that spot for some reason.

And then there's UnderArmor compression shorts with the longer inseam, which I wear as underwear. Those puppies are great!

I really like "boy shorts" style underwear these days - they are uncomfortable to wear with jeans though - they bunch up too much. Under shorts (NOT cycling shorts - commando is the only way to go in my book) they are supreme (or sweats, or skirts or loose pants)
