Pants!

attica

One for the chaps this:-

I tend to favour the "Calvin Klein" type undercracker but lately I have been having a problem with them when I'm not on the bike.

I think it's because of my "cyclists (ish) physique" but this type of pant tends to ride up my thighs these days meaning they can get quite uncomfortable at times (not painful just weird rucking going on).
I think it's quite usual for us cyclists to have larger bums and thighs and often have to buy trousers that are very loose in the waistband in order to accomodate my pulsating glutes, so what sort of pant do we generally go for.

(GregT I'm looking to you for added humour on this thread)

What is a Calvin Klein type? What the hell is a tanga thingy? I wear what I would consider boxers but they're not yr traditional loose saggy cotton things - I prefer a bit of support. Is that the Calvin Klein type?

Also, too many comedy answers will split the vote.

I think the correct term for the Calvins is trunks, them also being my preference.

Whatever is clean...

but i do tend to live in cycling shorts a fair amount of the time.

Right this thread is useless without pictures.



These are my preferred choice. Note the large elastic band around the waist and quite fitted around the thigh and crotch area holding everything in place, no swing and no dangle.

I find that if lycra isn't involved in the whole undergarment and they are 100% cotton they'll ride up in places that will change the colour of the material and that's not groovy.

Compression tights :shock: I kid myself they're actually doing some good

Otherwise it's boxers or commando if I want that feeling of freedom

I'm the oppsite of blondie, boxers for me usually the saggy cotton type. I've got some fitted calviny style ones from m&s which are nice but they're £15 for 3 pairs!
:shock:
Cheaper calvin style ones end up baggy by lunch time so I just go for the baggy type from the off.

Underwear, what an interesting concept. Nahhh don't like it.

And where is gregT when you expect him?

So to whoever wears the Tanga thingys, are they good?

Going by the numbers, I have more boxers than those junk-hugging ones that you refer to as "Calvins". Although, I do prefer to wear my junk-huggers. They make my thighs look bigger, and in the end that's what it's all about.

Can't beat Topman when shopping for panties. :twisted:

I reckon I have more of the baggy ones just because they are cheaper.

Other: trunks (specifically George from ASDA).

Edit: Oh, having seen/read some other posts, maybe they were intended to come under the term "Calvins", but I don't have an Calvin Klein underwear -- and they make briefs, boxers and other styles as well as trunks, so it seems a rubbish category to me.

You KNOW when you've been tanga'oed.

In fairness tangas are for men who want to wear burds underwear but don't have the cojones.

It's kind of like ice skating - yes we know it's very hard and difficult - yes you need to be very fit but it's also gayer than knickers.

Who isn't wearing their wife's knickers? You sick loons make my skin crawl

tanga's are a "the tod" style banana hammock aren't they.

DDD, poor choice of pictures, I'm off to look at the "girls in lycra" thread where it's todger-free. Anyway the mrs told me that picture of me was only for her personal use!

attica

Yay, GT found the thread "If you build it they will come"

What the Swansea Llanelli is "the tod"?
I've never worn them but wondered if they had any comfort benefits, I tried my wife's knickers but I seem to be far more well hung than her, bits hanging out all over the place, not pretty.

Evidently after a rather embarrasing google search in the office, tangas are just another type of thong :oops:

This is the todd



I can't bring myself to post a banana hammock shot, not at work!

I'd say I vary between the trunk type boxers and the looser fitting ones or when we had the heat wave I just went commando, keeps everything a bit cooler ;-)

I have been finding tho that some pairs are beginning to "ride up" which usually means I'll need to pop to the loo to remove the offending article from said orifice, usually just by pulling the waistband down. I'd never thought of blaming it on my amazingly pert and muscular ar$e so thanks Attica :-D I used to have a few pairs of proper CK briefs but that was when I was a)younger b)worked at TK Maxx so could get a small discount and c)didn't have 5 kids so dropping £9 on a single pair of boxers was OK, plus I thought it made me look good - oh how naive I was!

On the tanga subject I'm sure I've seen similar things at a certain high-street retailer that sells nice ladies underwear (and toys.......) that are character based to you can get an elephant, parrot etc. shaped hammock

Speaking of expensive boxers a girl at work bought her husband some g-star boxers for their wedding anniversary 4 pairs = £84 :shock:

I'm spending far too much time on this thread :oops:

I like a nice, loose pair of boxers. The more space the better. You shouldn't wear cycling shorts too much, they cause infertility, they're too tight...

Kieran_Burns

Marks and Sparks Y-Fronts here.


What?????


Comfy, swing room, and the novelty of unexpected fun-size-mars-bar escape attempts out the front.

i always wear them under my cycling shorts as well. Zero chafing and an excellent protective layer against claggy bits embedding in lycra. Anyone that mentions VPL is gayer than a gay-fest running INTO a gay-fest while IN a gay-fest.


Oh, and for all you wusses sneaking off to the bog to readjust - just do what The Big Yin recommends: Stand proudly and declare "My GOD! My arse is itching! I shall scratch it immediately!" then when everyone turns away in horror you can adjust and rearaange to your hearts content.

Of course the infertility has nothing to do with balancing your weight on your clacker area on a tiny saddle for hours on end

Compare that to Primark where you'd probably get 84 pairs for £4 :-D

I am a bit disturbed by what this thread reveals.

If results are to be believed, 4 people seem to be wearing Attica's wife thong. I am pleased to see how calmy Attica has taken this news.

I am not sure if they all wear it at the same time or take it in turns. I would have thought that Thongs being what they are, it would be difficult to get 4 people inside. Especially without Attica managing to notice them.

George at Asda trunks seconded - best pants I own, apart from the amazingly slinky Aussie ones my other half brought me back. Which I am wearing now. Yes, it's true, I am wearing pants with an Australian flag all over them during the Ashes

Headhuunter

Surely not "Aussie Bums"? Now they really are aimed at the gay market...
