Nope. I think that would cause more problems than not...

Nope. It will only cause additional chafing issues. Use Body Glide or Chamois cream on the parts that may chafe.

No...The last women I knew who rode with underwear under her shorts chafed so bad she was bleeding by 20 miles into the ride. Tight clean bike shorts is all you need. And maybe some chamois butter.

oh hellllls no!
this reminds me of a story though. one year I raced for the UO cycling team in college, and there was only ever one or two girls on each bike team at the races. a bunch of guys from one team came up to me and basically said "you HAVE TO talk to the girl on our team. someone needs to tell her she's not supposed to wear underwear under her bike shorts, but we can't tell her, because we're boys!"
hahahaha

No way. In fact, I find a thinner short pad is better than a super thick one.
A little Vaseline can help ease things a bit.

Wearing undies under bike shorts is newbie mistake #1 for both females and males.
Wash them after every ride and you'll have zero problems. In fact, buy several pairs so there is always a clean set available.

LOL!! She'll have to find out the hard way - but when she does, it'll still be all your fault.:-)

Never. Treat bike shorts like undies - 1 wear, 1 wash.

Were you around during the discussion on this topic over in the main forum (probably about a year ago)? I was stunned, disturbed, and down right grossed out over the number of people who did not wash after every wear...
Best line to come out of that thread: "That's not the smell of success wafting out from between your legs..."

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.

I've been showering in my clothes (well, workout clothes) for ever and ever. It's great--you can give them a rinse out, and avoid the nasties...but don't have to put them through the rigors of the wash machine. Clothes last forEVER. I have some sport bras that are prolly 17 years old, and still holding up.

Totally never thought to shower in my clothes, but I do hand wash the good stuff so I guess I may as well go that route. Great tip!
