I’d imagine the reason is the rocky mountains but idk.

I am grinding the balls and anus, which are also gross and emit fluids, just to a different degree. Up above they mentioned women may wear underwear if they’re also wearing menstrual pads. I’m trying to find out if that is because the underwear keeps the pad in place better, or if it is as an additional layer for leakage. In the second case, if some people wear underwear as a barrier for body fluids, despite the chafing, that is what I’m trying to ascertain.

What is the purpose of the shorts to you?

I think I’ll have to disagree with you because underwear does make a big difference for other clothes, so why wouldn’t it help with bike shorts?

You’re going to have some particles from the anus and urethra that leak out while you ride, making your butt smell like ass. They can either be absorbed by the (relatively cheaper and easier to wash) underwear, or the expensive padded bike shorts. The shorts will still get sweaty and get washed after every ride, but they’ll have less skin and body fluid particles in them.

I get that most people can’t wear underwear underneath because of the added friction. Still stands to reason that if this wasn’t an issue, the underwear would help protect the padded bike shorts.

My context is the whole comment chain, including the original question. I’m trying to make an informed descision and see what other people do, vagina-having, or no.

Bike shorts are close fitting like underwear anyway, except that they’re also really expensive, so it is not comparable to going commando in my mind. As other people in the comments have said, bike shorts tend to get soaked with sweat also, so they’re going to be damp either way, though they are a wicking material. The commenter mentioned wearing underwear over pads or menstrual products, which I’m still trying to understand if the underwear is as a protective barrier, if it helps the pad stay in place better, or both. Because as a protective layer to contain leaks, it is similar to what I’m trying to do.

I’m interested in protecting my shorts from body fluids to help them last longer, which is different from the “feeling uncomfortable” and “visibly showing” part of what you’re saying, so I am seeing the difference in what you’re saying. It might be worth it to someone for those reasons, regardless of protecting the shorts.

Since you don’t wear padded bike shorts though, I still haven’t heard first hand if anyone makes a trade off between the advantages of wearing underwear under them, vs. the friction cost.

I am not sure what you mean by “tube”. My seat has minimal padding and is pretty firm. All the bike people I’ve ever met have told me to never get the padded seat, always get the padded shorts.

Mine looks like of like the “men’s recreational” but without the air gap, here:

Do you wear underwear with padded bike shorts?

I am specifically talking about protecting bike shorts

He also uses wifi music streaming in his house and has all kinds of problems.

What I’m saying is, you could have told me that you like airpods, or literally anybody else liked them, and without knowing anything about you, i would trust your opinion more than his.

I’m just responding to the commenter above me.

I don’t think he’s lying, i just don’t trust his opinions about technology to be well informed. Basically, i think he is in it for the views. Maybe airpods are good. But i wouldn’t trust his work on the review.

I like that he allegedly doesn’t like Apple, but i wouldn’t trust him.

I wouldn’t be surprised if airpods don’t work right on Android

I thought the padding was to not get back pain. Right now I’m limited to about 30 min on the bike before i have to call it without shorts. With padded shorts i can go like an hour or more. This is mountain biking.

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.

Introduction

BirdNET-Pi is built on the BirdNET framework by @kahst using pre-built TFLite binaries by @PINTO0309 . It is able to recognize bird sounds from a USB microphone or sound card in realtime and share its data with the rest of the world.

Fun fact, the inventor of Vaseline recommended eating it, and ate it every day.

Chesebrough lived to be 96 years old and was such a believer in Vaseline that he claimed to have eaten “more than a teaspoon” of it every day.^[6][7]

It looks like a good sale ngl

In both cases its using language to reject some people and accept others. I’m sure the professor had reasons the preferred not to interact with Chinese speakers, just like the bar/restaurant.

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 stink. I already have some special soap for technical fabrics from amazon but it doesn’t do much.
