  • 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.
