RudoJ Posted January 13, 2014 Share All of a sudden that legendary thread "how to remove skidmarks from your shammy" comes to mind... for OP's reference: https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/108895-skid-marks-on-your-shammy/page__fromsearch__1 Wallee, Scott2luvit, Crankmeister and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eugene Posted January 13, 2014 Share Another option is to wear a thin pair of "gym" cycling shorts (without the padding) instead of underwear. At least there are no lines and they hide your naked butt from the rest of the bunch if you wear those cheap, see thru things that Mr Price sells. There is no chaffing either.

Scott2luvit Posted January 13, 2014 Share 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 cleanthat's not what you said last night ChUkKy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jigghead Posted January 13, 2014 Share I always go commando, no cream on the gooch and I'm all good back there. I'm not sure how my stuff gets washed though, the laundry faeries seem to to replace them fairly quickly after use. The shorts have lasted well and bear no real effects of overuse. I tried wearing underwear once and the humiliation I suffered from my mates was unbearable. I'd rather chafe to be honest.

MTBc Posted January 13, 2014 Share geez... seriously?? i wish this thread had come up 2 years ago when i started riding, have always ridden with undies. I thought the chaffing was normal and that everyone was just sucking it up like me. I almost feel proud of the rash after a 4 hour ride now (and i've toughened up considerably).

T-Bob Posted January 13, 2014 Share Nah, everyone knows this the only way to roll. Throw out the shorts and get with the Tri-look. Helps toughen that banus and you get a nice all over bronze, none of these fancy rapha wearing tan lines when you're on the beach or in the supermarket checking the laydeez. Don't deny it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agteros Posted January 13, 2014 Share Definitely go without underwear and definitely use chamois cream. And definitely wash those cycling pants after every ride.Crotch rot is not all that glamorous. Wash those cycling short properly afterevery ride and let them dry out 100% before use again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
