To pants or not to pants

Dear all, doing the london to brighton in 2 weeks time. I have a serious question, I will have shorts on with a chamois pad, but do I need tro wear anything underneath apart from drapolene for the chaffing. I know you buggers will wind me up but serious advice will be appreciated.

Absolutely not, use your padded shorts as underwear. Imagine wearing your grots underneath! AAAARRRGGHHH!!! :shock:

Also, cleanliness is next to godliness!!

if your shorts are of the lycra type you should be ok, i wear baggies evn on the road so need to wear something underneath. that said, my ar$e is like a big ball of edam getting cut in half.

As said above use the padded shorts as underwear,they are seamless so they wont rub like normal underwear does. I always wear baggy shorts over the lycra though as my legs are not up to it,I'm often asked the question ' What are those 2 bits of string hanging from your shorts? ' :oops:

Hi, thanks for the advice.
I was going to wear my lycra/spandex cycling shorts with a pair of baggies over the top. Nice one fellas.

Actually I have a pair of altura padded undershorts in my drawer, so they should do the job under my baggies. The baggies also have a padded insert. Does that sound Ok.
I can post pics if you want?!!! (sounds perv to me)
