CYCLING UNDERWEAR

I know, I know. We don't wear underwear under out
cycling shorts.

BUT (or should that be BUTT?) my dermatologist is urging me
to wear some to prevent the skin infections I get on multi-
day rides.

I understand a company called Andiamo! makes briefs just for
wearing under your cycling shorts.

Does anybody out there have experience with them? Are they
comfortable?

Enquiring behinds want to know.

How about using chamois cream? It's main purpose is to
eliminate infectionson long rides. Assos makes a good
product that is available in many bike shops.

I have a pair of these, and I hate them. I have found that
they irritate my skin, and no matter how clean they are (and
I am) when I put them on, they always smell awful in an
hour. I would much rather wear plain boxers of any type of
material, even with seams, than this garbage.

Of course others may have different experiences.

Hi Casey,

When I have a troublesome saddle sore I wear a pair of silk,
not nylon, underware.

Saddly these do not come in mens fashions so I need to make
do.

More than we needed to know.

Andiamo also makes padded boxer-style underwear, and you can
try them under running tights. The fit is pretty snug - but
I have to admit that even though they're uncomfortable
walking, on the bike they are actually very comfortable. I
wear them under pants for commuting.

Are you wearing clean shorts every day? This means washing
them each night or carring 2 pair if they won't dry
overnight. A trick from the bad old days of wool shorts and
real chamois is to use zinc oxide-yeah, the stuff you put on
your nose-on your butt and chamois. Feels weird but works.

You don't shop in the right places.

Dear Wort and Werehatrack,

Homer: Marge, you being a cop makes you the
man...which makes me the woman. I have no
interest in that, besides occasionally wearing
the underwear (which, as we discussed, is strictly
a comfort thing).

Marge: Homer, there's no reason for you to feel
threatened. You'll always be the man of this house.

Homer: Aw, thanks honey.

Ditto. The associated issue is being sure that your butt is
clean. Baby wipes after defecating and a good twice-daily
coat of chamois cream on the shorts will keep your butt in
good shape if you're riding all day. The Assos product is
the best I've used.

Don¹t you mean A$$O$..??

Now I see PI has $200US cycling shorts, too.

I have several pairs of Patagonia Capaliene(sp) silk weight
briefs that seem to do the trick.

On tours I can carry two pairs of cycling shorts and 6 or 7
pairs of the briefs. Never had a problem.

I ordered a pair because I was hoping to leverage some of my
regular hiking / paddling shorts for MTB rides. I decided to
return the Andiamo briefs before I even made it down the
stairs to my bike. The pad was a great oblong thing -
completely unshaped and unformed, and about twice the size
in both length and width that it should have been (for me,
anyway). My humble opinion is that a pad needs to go between
your legs without splitting you apart like a firewood maul.

Obviously this is a very personal thing and what didn't work
for me might work great for you. So if you want to know for
yourself what the shorts feel like, try cutting a
rectangular piece the size of a legal clipboard from a foam
pad. An old backpacking mattress would be a good candidate.
Put it inside your underwear and then pull the whole
business on. Now try to walk. See if it feels fine to you.

I can live with threads that degenerate into arguments about politics, gun control, helmet/no helmet, tread/no tread, etc.

I can live with these digressions because probability dictates that, eventually, somebody will drag out a great Simpsons reference that's both germane and poignant.

Thanks, Carl!

btw: I _always_ wear my helmet :D

I get the impression your dermatologist is not familiar with
bicycle clothing. Cycling shorts are made the way they are
for a reason. Using andiamo briefs is not going to help. Are
you washing your shorts after every ride? If not, that may
be the culprit.

What's the address? At Assos prices a good discount will pay
for airfare to Switzerland after buying only a few items.
