Clean Shorts

[Derf]

I have three pairs and wash them after every wearing. I just wash on delicate with Tide and put in dryer on low (no fabric softener as this screws up the wicking properties of these fabrics). All three pairs are at least 1 1/2 years old and are fine.

I wash mine in the shower, unless I have a full load of laundry. But, I always air dry them. I rotate between three favorite pairs, so there is always one on the shower bar for Mr. Tater to take down in the morning before his shower!

I only have one pair at the moment so I wash after every wear. If I have other delicates that need washing at the same time then I use the washing machine (I have a front loading washing machine which is more gentle on clothing than a top loader) and I use the wool cycle with liquid detergent. If I don't have anything else to wash, then I soap the pad with a bar of pure laundry soap, then put the shorts in a bucket of water to soak for about 30mins then rinse and hang out to dry.

I like the shower idea, very efficient.

After every ride. One nasty yeast infection and you'll see the value in having several pair of shorts so you'll always have one pair clean.

For the longest time I only had one pair of shorts.

So, after a ride... right when I got home... I would pop them in the washing machine. Detergent only... no fabric softner... hang dry.

They dry overnight just fine.

You can own only 1 pair and wash them everytime... easy.
