No underwear.
Take shorts off as soon as possible.
Wash before wearing again.

When I wear cycling shorts with a chamois, I don't wear underwear. One benefit of the chamois is no seams, which underwear would negate.
When I wear regular shorts, pedal pushers or jeans I wear underwear, but try to wear microfiber undies (depending on length of ride) or cotton underwear. These rides are usually under 15 miles and are running errands, not continuously in the saddle.

Commando! Being in Texas, I sweat entirely to much not to wash my shorts after every ride.

I never wear the stuff.
A lot of chamois are marketed as being antibacterial as well. I'm not sure what they do to it to make it so, but I thinking underwear would negate it.

So quick answer. NO underwear - i've been riding 20 plus years and I've never had a vaginal or bladder infection from riding in shorts with no underwear.

Riding with underwear works just fine for some people (like me).
Try both ways and then decide for yourself.Lisa

Commando, and the same rule applies for wetsuits! It used to drive me nuts seeing people trying to put on a wetsuit with board shorts underneath. Tourists. Chamois cream is also great.

well you do not go top to bottom commando
under a wetsuit in a tri - LOL !
but a tri suit or shorts&top will suffice.It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.

What about 'that time of the month'?
anyone have any hints/suggestions for someone who doesn't use tampons?
or is that just the way to go?
(tad bit off the underware topic...but I didnt' want to open up an entire thread for this question)

I rode my bike to the pool last summer, with just my suit on, and my suit has a little skirt. It was okay on the way down, but when my suit was still wet on the way back....Let's just say that saddle was a little too close to the parts.
