under your shorts>>>

[Dianyla]

The only thing under my shorts is chamois cream (currently I use Burt's Bees Coconut Foot Creme for this purpose) and occasionally my Mooncup.

What should you wear under your shorts?





Your socks!

Hi,

thanks for all your help! I would definitely have learnt the hard way without this forum!

I guess we will just have to wash shorts every day then... although we are taking 2 pairs each. and also some chamois pants

so no-one at all wears pants under their shorts? or a liner?

13 days to go!

Thanks for your help! kira

a pantiliner with shorts? Now,that sounds life a chafe-o-rama. The thinking is that there is a reason everything is washable, and that shorts are black. Seriously.

Definitely nothing under the shorts, and definitely wash them every day. You should also be prepared to replace them occasionally. I started my own across the USA trip with two pairs of new shorts. By the time I reached Colorado I noticed that they had worn quite a bit, and the fabric was becoming very thin. So I bought 2 new pairs of shorts and tossed the old worn ones.

I'm definitely not carrying my spurtle under my kilt... umm, shorts! And no undies either - when you need to duck behind a bush out there on the road, no sense wrestling with shorts and a pair of undies!
