Chamois absorbs LOADS

Have black shorts - all mine are black, only wear once, and wash in hot water.

If you have leaks you are concerned about (for me its menstrual blood) then soak in a nappy solution before putting them through the wash.

Dry inside out in the sunshine when possible

I have three pairs of race shorts and my training shorts now number about 5 I think - training shorts are ones that are too thin over the but and are becoming seethrough. I wear a pair of "yoga" shorts over the top so i remain decent.
