    Noooooooooo underwear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I have never worn undi's under the cycling shorts, why do they have a chamois...

    Also about the chamois buttr...full of chemicals...woudn't use it. If I had to use something like this, then only organic unrefined coconut butter -> no chemicals. Well lucky me, I never had to us this staff, not even on over the 100 miles rides...

    But everybody is different, experiment and pick what your are comfortable with...good luck

    I must be overly modest!!!

    Never in my mind about going commando. I always had my undie's on. Can't imagine going without. I don't think I could do it??

    Then again proper ladies in ages gone by, they would never step outside without a pair of gloves and a proper hat as part of proper attaire.

    Can't do this commando thing. Accidental, rare bladder and other discharges..sorry can't do.

    And I rarely ride with padded bike chamois tights/shorts. yea...90 kms. in 1 day, no chamois. Possible.

    No, my saddle is not an overstuffed freddie thing.

    Why not? Clock in 5,000 kms. annually for some years...no chamois.

    I'll get around to..some day. Just like getting around to cycling socks.
    By now, I feel very freda. I might as well admit all this..after all these years of regular cycling. My "cool" factor now has dropped ..probably quite alot. Oh well, might as well to continue cycling on the edges of the inner circle.

    None for me, but I agree some people just can't do it. Persoanlly, being in Texas I like as little on as possible. If I was small chested, I would only wear those shelf bra tops.

    I take off my shorts immediately (sometimes in the car after a ride ) and wash every time. Only one bladder infection in 4 years riding and I have had one every few years for the last 13 years. I think it was just time for one, not anything to do with my bike shorts.

    If you are going to wear undies I would recommend finding some for working out. They generally do not have noticeable seems and are moisture wicking. My friend swears by them for running. She won't just wear running shorts with the little built in liners.

    Don't you know that being uncool actually makes you the coolest of all? This is a well proven phenomenon.
