I guess, as always, its personal...

For example, knickers... I wear them only once, whether I have worn them for a few hours or for 14 hours, and then they are in the laundry.
If I have a choice, I wear shorts for the least ammount of time I can, beacuse not only are there "normal" secretions etc but also all the sweat.

I really don't know, Corsair, I just know that given the choice I will wear a pair of shorts for the duration of that ride (whether its 1/2 hour or whether its hours) only once. And as soon as the ride is done, off come the shorts.
