weird boyfriends

Oh, my husband and I could wear each other's shorts. He's given me shorts before where he didn't like the chamois, and while he wouldn't borrow mine because I'd kill him, he bought his last pair based on a pair that I had. (He bought the men's version, but they were nearly identical.) The differences between men's and women's shorts are not that dramatic, I've found. If all of mine were dirty and he had a clean pair, I am pretty sure I could ride in them and never notice the difference.

But he's the one who told me about the used bike short ebay ads and the particular fetish for dirty bike shorts, so I think he'd think this was a troll, too!

BF and I are the same size as well. We ACCIDENTLY borrow each others shorts (they were on sale, just a minor brand. They look IDENTICAL and we each have three pair!!) It annoys me when he steals my last pair of clean lycra instead of his own! I hate his chamois and could never wear them!

But I do borrow his clean cycling socks when I've run out Shouldn't be a problem now with all the SS going ons...

But We've never worn each other's dirty lycra! EWE that's just gross.

I won't even wear my own dirty lycra.....but, I have a friend who did the AIDS Ride (seven days in a row riding) and he only had one pair of shorts. He'd wear them one day and the next day he would turn them inside out and wear them again. And then he'd reverse the process -- never washing them all week. His feeling was that by wearing the chamois outside, it was getting clean and disinfected in the sun and wind.

Oh, and he was 22 at the time. I guess young kids like CaliGirl's boyfriend (and my AIDS Ride buddy) have different standards than middle-aged women like us!
