in10sive Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Hi I have a "uncomfortable" strange noob question - I am am starting to cover lots more XC km each day - but my "rear" is starting to feel the pain/burn now - I have read on various sites that padded cycling shorts are designed to be used without underwear but won't it be a full time job keeping the shorts clean, I only have 2 at the moment because they are so expensive and afraid if I have to wash them every day they will not last long. Do you guys have any recommendations please - is their such a thing as specific cycling underwear to use with padded cycling shorts?
evolve Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Nooooooo bru. Wash em after the ride by hand gently if you want them to last, and air dry in house not a tubule dry.

Wil6 Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 The only specific underwear that I know of is your bare ass. Trust me thats what the padding is designed for. Two shorts will last you a long time. And please wash them after every ride Agteros and ChUkKy 2

Caerus Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Cold water wash on a short cycle is sufficient, excuse the pun

MrJacques Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) I wear normal underwear with my cycling shorts (Mr Price Sport brand). I've tried without underwear, but don't like it, and I don't have problems with chafing if I wear underwear with the cycle shorts. I throw them in the wash (use short wash cycle) with my cycling clothes after a ride, using normal washing powder and fabric softener. So far no problems and they have lasted very well. But what works for me might not work for others. Edited January 13, 2014 by Jacquers
MirageF1 Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 I only have one pair and I wash it after every ride. Got them 4 years ago and they still going strong.
Surv0MTB Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 Cant ride with underwear. Way to uncomfy. My shorts/bib are still 100's after being washed after every ride, in the washing machine. No tumble dryer though.

ChUkKy Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 Dont forget to put Shammy cream on as well, it is antibacterial.Im a bit of a germophobe and a clean freak. I get the piss taken out of me by some old people on this here Hub but my ass is still soft and clean BarHugger, rouxtjie, DIPSLICK and 1 other 4
