Now that I'm used to going commando, I'm not sure how to wear my other non-chamois bottoms now!

I even thought about it as I got dressed in those capris the other night but I opted to wear my underwear as I would typically do. I'll try them commando the next time and let you know if they go places they shouldn't. Based on the nice fabric and fit, I don't think they will. But again, I'm used to the butt hugging effect of lycra bottoms and it doesn't bother me in the least, so I might not be a good judge.
Yeah, it took a lot for me to consider it. I'm pretty tolerant of the close to the skin clothing and actually prefer it (so much less chafing!!!) but it occurred to me when I switched back and forth between the new pair and my zoot tri shorts that they were possibly going where no short has gone before.
