I know that the padded bike shorts are supposed to be form fitting and minimize friction, but I have no personal experience about whether a menstrual pad would move less with or without wearing underwear under the bike shorts.
But if the extra underwear is for reasons of higyene instead, I am not sure why more men wouldn’t do it too. It sounds like the rich person answer is to just not worry about it and buy new shorts whenever your wear out from direct contact with skin.
I feel you on the bike commuting. Even when i was commuting short distances, I’d get to work way too sweaty. I’ve started riding an electric scooter to work instead, and now I’m not sweaty at all.
I would wear padded bike shorts when I plan to be biking for half an hour or longer. Thats when i start having back problems without padding.
It seems like people don’t typically wear underwear under them so I’ll have to look for tips to cut the skink. I already have some special soap for technical fabrics from amazon but it doesn’t do much.
Do you have a vagina? They have discharge. I’ve never had a penis before but they seem drier. If you have a vagina then by the end of the day you’ll likely have visible discharge stains on your underwear, so maybe women bike riders would prefer the underwear, idk. (I cycle but don’t wear bike shorts so idk about that.)
No vagina here. But i do have two holes that both sometimes have discharge. Sometimes visible. For complete disambiguation, this is the urethra and anus. It’s not like a lot, but it is unpredictable, and sometimes enough to leave a smell and sometimes be gross. Usually the anus.
They wouldn’t stain the outside of the shorts but they very well might stain the inside.
If women would prefer to wear underwear to protect their expensive bike shorts, I’m not sure why i wouldn’t either, except for the friction issue people mention.
I guess i dont understand why in those conditions, underwear is more desirable.
I think he is saying if you wear an outside pad, not a tampon, you need something to stick it to that won’t be moving around.
I commute on an electric bike, in my work clothes, and seriously hope to never take a ride so long that I need gear. 6 miles or so is my limit.
