I wear plain panties, trim but don't shave, and always use a little cheap hypo-allergenic hand lotion. Longest rides- 50-70 miles. Hard leather Brooks saddle that fits me like a dream.
No problems at all with sweating, chafing, pressure points, yeast infections, or any other unpleasant fate that others seem to know with such certainty will result if one wears panties under bike shorts.
I feel compelled to post this every time this thread subject comes up, which is at least twice a year. What works or doesn't work for one person can't be stated as irrefutable fact for everyone else.
It's all easy enough to try out, so why not just try both ways and decide what works for you?
