I thought we were talking about bladder infections? Lol! What does uti stand for exactly?
I had lot's of yeast infections when I was young, And it turned out that my husband and i were passing it back and forth. The Dr could have told me this. It wasn't until like the 6th one that she figured out what was going on. Ahhh to be young again. Sigh! we should not have been having sex while I was on the mend.

My cycling shorts say to dry on low temps, so, like Denise, they go in the washer and dryer with everything else. NO Woolite, though. I was told that Woolite and Tide would break down the lycra and spandex in clothing, partly due to the fact that they both are petroleum based products.

I wash my shorts in Tide, AND I wear Andiamo underwear. Never had any problems with yeast infections and my shorts look fine. However, since I wear a liner, I don't have to wash every time I ride.
My cut on this is the same as when we couldn't get nylon underwear without cotton in the crotch. People had all kinds of problems as synthetics don't breathe. Hence germs flourish.

I go sans underwear as often as possible -- running shorts, gym lycra tights, biking shorts & jammies are all worn without underwear. As for cleaning the cycling shorts, I always just wash them on warm with Wisk and dry them on low in the dryer. They seem to do fine. I do think to avoid infections, you should take them off as soon as you're done and shower with an antibacterial soap.
