I'm sure I can't be the only one to have noticed this, but I've found with all my bibs that it tends to be the Italian made ones which are most guilty of this!

The internal nature of the padding would be pointless with a layer in between.Do Nellyphants count?

Why on earth would you?????????
Skid marks are not an excuse, it is a hygene problem.
And what is the difference between stained boxers and stained pad anyway?
They both wash.
Stay clean. Go commando!
Look. It's simple.
You take off skid marked pants and wear a clean pair. You don't want to put on a pair of shorts with skidded pad at the end of the day now do you?
Also. No matter how much you wipe, there is ALWAYS some detritus, there just is.. and when you cycle you get a sweaty back which runs into the crack, or a sweaty ars* anyway. Now you have liquid detritus.
Do I need to paint a picture here? If I do... it'll be brown.
Sounds like you need to shave your anal beard.
What!? It does!Food Chain number = 4

If its been cold and you're a bit worried about the size of "things" when you get home just have a bit of a rummage on the doorstep. Things will sort themselves out then.
Top Tip when rummaging around make sure no one can see you or it would end in arrest and your autograph on the sex offenders register :oops:
Top tip two.
Make sure it's your own house.

I refuse to go commando under any circumstances. I sometimes wear two pairs of pants, just in case.

Commando all the way baby Yer!!!
Other than the fact it's freeing, Lycra & similar materials are designed to be worn next to the skin...... and unless your into lycra Yfronts & Boxers a cotton barrier degates the point of wearing them....
Boxers are loose & baggy by design and usually made of cotton which is known for its water retention properties.
So basically if you wear some thing under your cycling shorts & keep them on through the day you're wearing sweaty dirty pants next to your skin (under trousers) for 8+ hours. Rather than cycling shorts for 30+mins allow them to dry out through the day, whilst wearing fresh clean underwear then 30+mins in the dried out cycling shorts on the way home again and wash.........
Each to their own but I prefer clean pants through the day and commando shorts to and from work....0 -
Gotta go commando - it's what most shorts were designed and constructed for..
Wearing boxers/pants under most cycing shorts is the equivilent of putting that horrible plastic matting over your carpet or buying a really nice sofa and covering it with a rug.
The only thing you ever need to remember is to check your shorts every few months for wear as after a while there is the risk of transparency.FCN: 50 -

They are close-cut, don't have a pad and will help transport sweat. Of course they preclude the use of chamois cream but for short commutes, they should do the job.
They are sold here.. http://www.underarmour.com/shop/uk/en/p ... _sell=true

Look it is simple
Either
1) you wear normal pants and trousers and ride the bike or
2) You wear cycle shorts amd optionally cycle longs over the top
You do not mix and match
When you get to work you change into different clothes in the case of 2)
In the case of 1) it depends on how much you sweat. On a short commute on a cool day I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem. On a fast ride on a warm day it would be0 -

I've been going commando for years now, far more comfortable.
I have scared a few members of my crew over the years when they've walked into the office when I've had my shorts down.
NGale still can't come to terms with going commando when wearing her cycle shorts. She will see the light eventually.twitter: @JakeM19690 -

Now if you were going for a run, instead of a cycle would it be commando all the way?"Encyclopaedia is a fetish for very small bicycles"0

...I understand the arguments but - I just don't have the time, energy or inclination to do enough laundry to use a clean pair of shorts daily.
And umm, as we ladies have less tubing to keep our internal bits safe from the outer world, I certainly won't wear the same cycling shorts more than a day without a layer in between, we're heading for danger-of-UTIs there.
Hence thin knickers. Some of them do cause chafing - but I've learned which and now won't wear them underneath cycling shorts. I'm perfectly comfortable, thank you - so yes on riding days I will use two pairs of knickers but so what? I have tons of those, not tons of shorts...

I'm all for the commando approach on the bike after all that's what the lycra shorts are for now off the bike commando is good provided the weather is right, which it's not so i'm now a convert to M&S super slinky sexy lycra style tiiightttt hipster pants.
Guys if you haven't seen them get yourself some ASAPRule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.
Rule #9 // If you are out riding in bad weather, it means you are a badass. Period.
Rule #12 // The correct number of bikes to own is n+1.
Rule #42 // A bike race shall never be preceded with a swim and/or followed by a run.0 -

Buy more shorts....
I'm not getting the point about internal bits. Those same internal bits are exposed to you nickers as they are shorts. The difference being the anti-bacterial sponge of teh shorts designed to protect ladies (and mens) soft bits. If you have enough shorts it makes no difference wearing either - probably safer in the shorts as I understand the tech...Food Chain number = 4

No need to change if what you are doing works but I will still recommend you to go out and try it out at least once, it is a whole new experience in terms of comfort and I know what I am saying because I used to wear underpants with me shorts and didn’t get chaffing.x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

I don't understand why it's such a big deal? I mean, DDD seems practically fuming that I should have the nerve to wear knickers on parts of me which are very much my concern only.0 -

Why not just wash the cycling shorts and the end of the day.They will dry overnight. It works for me0
