Padded shorts...with or without underpants....

[Phoenix Lincs]

Pantless due to friction issues. And use of chamois cream is a plus.

So we have all agreed commando is the done thing ,but for the males on the forum which way do you point your gentleman sausage as the lads in red ,posted early point to all directions of the compass,not a nice image!

Im not telling what my preference is but its all down to comfort at the end of the day.

That picture was quite grim. I was eating my dinner when i saw it,nearly put me of my mouthwatering microwaved meal.

[QUOTE 2570325, member: 30090"]Without, horrible chaffing otherwise. But more importantly...what colour do you want to buy? Maybe you want to stand tall and stand proud or not have an outline of your junk on display - just saying like that it is something to think about...

If one of these lads had fallen off they would have done themselves a right mischief. Wheres the padding ?

 

[EltonFrog]

In the winter I wear pants with the padded shorts to cold around the Trussocks otherwise, in the summer it's commando.

At least you weren't eating cheap sausages

 

[Speedball]

Commando for me as well

Anything that lessens the chances of chaffing is worth it in my book.

 

[ayceejay]

The padding, once chamois, in cycling shorts is designed to wick up the sweat that would otherwise accumulate and cause soreness and underwear will interfere with this, add a chamois cream if too dry.

 

[PaulSB]

For a cheaper alternative, and lacking the "zing" factor, use Sudocream. Same stuff as goes on baby's bum.

I find Sudocream prevents sweat accumulating round the groin, works for longer and helps let your inner thigh slide a little on the down stroke.

 

[sheffgirl]

Sometimes I do go commando, but I usually wear underwear because I don't have time to wash my cycling shorts/tights everyday

 

[the_mikey]

I always use a compression base layer, it does away with all chafing, the need for chamois cream and it helps keep you a bit warmer and reduces the need to thaw yourself out before going for a relief break.

Would this by chance be the David Garside of Wakefield?

Hello...no, I'm in Andover, Hants.....quite a common name further north I think

 

[screenman]

Commando, and like most blokes I have very little control on which direction my member points in.

 

[SamC]

I was reluctant to go commando at first, so I didn't. One chafe-tastic ride later, during which the combination of cotton underwear and sweat felt like sandpaper on my arse, and I had changed my mind.
