    I'm just wondering if the LBS guy thinks it's okay to try the shorts on without underwear, and then put them back on the rack if you don't like them.

    - Gray 2010 carbon WSD road bike, Rivet Independence saddle
    - Red hardtail 26" aluminum mountain bike, Bontrager Evoke WSD saddle
    - Royal blue 2018 aluminum gravel bike, Rivet Pearl saddle

    Gone but not forgotten:
    - Silver 2003 aluminum road bike
    - Two awesome worn out Juliana saddles

    Snort!

    Seriously, though. Nice to see a guy in an LBS relatively politely passing on correct information. Even the guys I like in the shops I frequent get all squeamish with women's shorts/saddles/etc.
    Most days in life don't stand out, But life's about those days that will...

    No he didn't. After I tried them on he said that you should wear underwear when trying them on. I guess he figured I didn't know that you should wear the shorts without undies. I've never bought bike shorts before. He was a cool guy and really very helpful.

    This has been discussed a lot. Some people do wear underwear with bike shorts -- I do occasionally, and nothing untoward takes place as a result. But they are meant to be worn without.
