embarassing question

Who would ever wear undies under their bike shorts?

anyone who had their introductory experience to a chamois - feel like your sitting on razor blades after 1/2 of a spin class - that's who.

I tried to eeeaaaaassssseeee my way to "real" bike shorts by getting a couple pairs of the women's REI boxer brief padded liners. I figured the chamois was there to act as the lining does in my underwear.
About 30 minutes into my first spin class, I thought my crotch was en fuego!!!! That really scared me about going without undies.
I have since upgraded to the real deal, and will wear undies....under...for short rides depending, but I do believe it works for some and not others.
The bad chamois experience has really inhibited me from buying shorts online until I can really see them in person first. Probably why I still only have 1 pair.
Also - I now own 2 pairs of these REI liners that I want to burn. I know they have a 100% guarantee policy, but I feel funny about returning them.

Ooh cheri, sounds like you got a bad chamois. I had a pair of older shebeest knickers that cut the heck out of my bum - wasn't that fun trying to bandage! A good chamois should not hurt in any way - if you feel like your getting cut, or sitting on razor blades - throw 'em out!

I'm not the only one!

I wear undies under my shorts because it GROSSES ME OUT not to. I don't go commando under any other circumstances, either. EEEEEWWWWW!!

I even rode 375 miles last April _with_ undies. (one ride) (changed once)

Nice Patagonia seamless panties. Hasn't had any ill-effects on _me_ yet.

YMMV,

Finally, the panty-wearing-under-bike-shorts lobby contingent appears. I knew I wasn't alone in this

I guess I can continue as I am until I start having problems...

(it kinda grosses me out too )

Nanci - you had mentioned that you wear the patagonia seamless in another thread - and because I would much prefer to wear panties too - I was looking for them all weekend. Are they actually called "seamless"?

I have two of this bra, and it is comfy, but my boobs fall out the bottom
