in10sive Posted January 12, 2014 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evolve Posted January 12, 2014 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wil6 Posted January 12, 2014 Share 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 ChUkKy and Agteros 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrJacques Posted January 13, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MirageF1 Posted January 13, 2014 Share I only have one pair and I wash it after every ride. Got them 4 years ago and they still going strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surv0MTB Posted January 13, 2014 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
