Going commando

[Bike Chick]

Me too! No underwear under bike or running shorts and it's one of the first things I remove when I get home for the evening. Ahhhhhh.

Can I share a funny story about underwear and sports? You do wear underwear under golf shorts but they do, however, bunch up the crack when you swing the club. Several of the ladies I golfed had discovered that if you wear thong panties, they are already there so you don't have to worry about digging it back out.

Well...........I decided to give their suggestion a try when DH and I were on a golf vacation in Florida. The last day of the trip we were going to play a final 18 holes then start our trip home. This is the day I wore my new thong panties. The darned things cut me in two and twisted around my middle the whole round. I wasn't convinced this was any benefit. After we packed up our clubs, we drove a couple hours before stopping for gas and a potty break. When I dropped my shorts in the bathroom, I saw that I had been wearing them wrong all day! I had my put my right leg through the waist and the crotch was across my left hip bone! Who can tell with them anyway??? I laughed out loud in the bathroom and when I shared it with DH, we laughed all the way home. That was 10 years ago and I've never worn another pair of them since.

The thong story is the best. Good thing I never tried a thong, because I would totally do that.

Oddly, what started me on the no-underwear journey was my hipbones. The elastic part of one layer or another was smashing up against them in a most undesirable way.

Never had any trouble with thongs and they are the only kind of underwear I can stand now. If it wasn't for the little shred of modesty I have, this old lady would totally get rid of underwear!

That is the story yet!

I have to agree with everyone on this thread. I go commando under my workout clothes. It is more comfy for me. I never thought that I would be comfortable going without panties but it took that first time riding for me to get over that fear.

Funny story, two weekend ago DH and I took my nephew out for a bike ride. He has just started cycling. He is wearing a pair of my DH cycling chamois. About 11 miles into the ride he was complaining that his "boys parts" were going to sleep. We stopped on the side of the road so that he could "move the furniture." Come to find out that the silly boy was wearing BOXER SHORTS under his spandex. No wonder he was having issues. He has since been TAUGHT.
