All these long rides have changed my leg shape enough that low rise jeans actually look okay - except for one thing - my undies show!Most of the time my shirt will cover it.
What do they call underwear that is low rise, but not a thong and not boy shorts? Do they make such a thing?

Yeah... that's what I was thinking. But Patagonia doesn't have any that they label as bikini.

Thanks, I figured that's where I'd end up. I just love my Patagonia undies...

I have a pair of the Patagonia low rise boy shorts - not sure how they'll be under these jeans. I couldn't tell for sure if the hispters were low rise.
I like the Patagonia undies, since I commute to work on my bike in my regular clothes and they don't cause any "issues."

Try going commando........ I know, it might sound, uh, unsanitary? Or just uncomfortable? But NO panty lines and no-show at all. Once you get used to it, it's pretty nice! And feels just fine. Just like commando under bike shorts. I just don't like underwear anymore. So I rarely wear it. I DO usually wear a pantyliner. Feels cleaner than way. And at "that" time of the month (tho' I am at the the point of will it-won't it happen this month), I wear whatever it takes to contain the flow. Originally Posted by Veronica

Heck, I do the laundry. I keep everything clean. And I am more comfortable this way.

I don't know about that... it would feel weird at school. Plus jeans on the bike... I'm shuddering.

Here's to Annie! I, too, generally go commando. Only exception is a shortish skirt at work....heh
OTOH I can definitely see Veronica's point about jeans on the bike. whew! Quite a dillemma!
Namaste,

'Cause you all want to know... I do have a pair of patagonia hipsters. Thom reports that no undies can be seen, even when I sit.
I am quite modest about what shows at work. I don't need 5th grade boys fantasizing - especially since I have to do sex ed in the spring!
V. - off to order more Patagonia underwear and maybe a cashemere sweater.

My UnderArmor compression shorts do just peachy with my lower rise jeans. My other favorite undies are the "No Panty Line Promise" Jockeys. I have 5 or 6 pair of those. They don't stick out of the top of my trousers, either. (and no lines)

check out www.utilikilts.com. SO comfortable on hot days and the ultimate to wear with a thong or commando. (You wouldn't think so, but get it long enough and it's all good) XDH bought 4 kilts and no longer wears pants... and yeah, lots of scots do wear 'em 'traditionally'.
