ARGH! My junk recoiled in horror just thinking about it.

ride, sans underwear...use body glide and aquaphor. Then, hop in shower IN SHORTS and wash then out. Hang dry.

Ummm ... your "junk"????

I did not realize women had "junk," unless, of course, it was "in her trunk." ;-)

We have junk. It's just dainty junk. Soft and delicate, like a beautiful flower. :p

Nope, wasn't around when that discussion was going around about bike shorts... I'm surprised that people don't wash after every wear. It's just gross.... eeeewwwww.
That line is funny.

This is my first year in tri - on my first couple of months of training I wore underwear just because I thought you were meant to - I kept getting chafing at the underpant edges but still thought I was just "getting used to" the bike saddle pain that everyone just "gets used to". Realised as my HIM approached that I was dreading the bike just for the chafe reason...so then decided maybe I should just treat my tri-pants as my swimmers - ie who wears underwear under swimming costumes? Exactly - no one. Well, my HIM ride went great - NO chafing! So...no more underwear for me - oh, and I also wash my bike shorts after every ride :)

absolutely not. my girly bits also appreciate a smaller thinner pad like tri shorts and competition bike shorts....

as to wash post every wear, mostly, but since I hang all workout clothes to dry prior to throwing in laundry (so they do not sit and mildew...) everything gets the sniff test and if it passes gets another wear.....

Do you keep Sportwash in your shower?

;-)

I have been hanging my stuff to dry out before putting them in the laundry per advice on an earlier thread. I am too sweaty when I workout so I can't do the more than once wearing. I also don't hand wash sports bras and I do need to start doing that.

hahahaha

i do the same-- hang my sweaty clothes on hangers on the shower rod after each workout. my brother, who I share the bathroom with, recently realized that the clothes I've been hanging in the shower (which he moves from time to time) weren't clean... hahahahaha

So using a front load washer is OK? I have one of those! If that means I don't have to hand wash I'm thrilled!

Front load washers are the best ones!
I was thinking about showering in my bike stuff and realized why I never thought of that... I very rarely ride without a transition run after. I do an easy ride every week that I don't run after, but because it's so easy my stuff stays virtually sweat and smell free so it's still goog (imo) for the next ride.
Don't mind me... just had an "aha!" moment lol

I went commando tonight for the first time after having read this thread the other night. It had never really occurred to me! I am definitely a new convert! :)

your girly parts will thank you....longer rides add some body glide - saves from chafing!

Another advantage to jumping in the shower in clothes after a workout is that you remeber to rinse/wash your HR monitor-I'd forget other wise.

Abso-freaking-lutely no underwear under ANY workout clothes...it's 2 less seams to chafe.
As for yeastie beasties, I get out of bike/tri shorts ASAP after the workout. The sweat, chamois butter, moistness from down below have been fermenting and will grow mushrooms!
BTW, Desitin or Boudreau's Butt Paste (any diaper rash cream) works great for chamois lube.

Re: underwear with bike shorts? [CatIsTriing] [In reply to]	Can't Post

oh honey - NO. Not under running shorts either if they have an internal panty. Begging for some nasty chafes.

As for those dudes that don't wash after they ride - they are BEGGING for the mondo case of Swamp Ass coming their way ....

"I'm surprised that people don't wash after every wear. It's just gross.... eeeewwwww. "

We all know that some guys, particularly young bachelors can be total pigs, especially if they don't have a girlfriend at the time, but I'm actually quite shocked to hear that some women don't wash their bike shorts every time. Heck, even I do that.

Re: underwear with bike shorts? [Tightey] [In reply to]	Can't Post

even if they don't have a built in panty I tend to go commando....so not me who gets the chafes!

and no swamp ass here - I do make my shorts pass the sniff test which usually only happens after short rides. tops for some reason rarely pass the sniff test.
