Extreme Personal Opinions wanted!

dale55 · 10-16-2011, 08:39 AM

Was wondering if anyone out there was using ahem "personal undergarments" for a more comfy ride on the bike. Things like bike underwear or silk boxers come to mind. Looking for alternatives to sheepskin seat covers blah blah blah. Anywho anyone brave enough to give away your "secret"!!!!!

It's either Superman Underoos or commando for me. Nothing else will do. I guess you could try some Depends.

I'll be the first to admit it, when going for long rides, or a long trip, the best I've found is the UnderArmor boxer briefs............. they do make for a more comfortable ride.

I either go bare or wear Hanes. I can't tell the difference.

I heard wearing bicycle shorts with a gel seat is a great alternative to the sheep skin and it wicks the sweat away from the "sweaty balls".

Duluth Trading makes redesigned jeans called "Ballroom", no kidding! and they are the best thing I've found for riding.

I'll have to try those then. My wife hates when I "re-adjust" going down the highway.

seacliff · 10-16-2011, 10:21 AM

my favorites are the white Hanes briefs, with the brown line running down the middle. :)

**wompus** · 10-16-2011, 10:29 AM

A string around my "privates" to raise them up every once in a while works best for me...
(I really hate sitting on my ball bearings)

Okay, I'll bite. For extended rides of 250 miles or more, I wear lycra compression shorts, like UnderArmor or similar. They don't bunch up like boxer shorts. I get the Starter brand at Walmart for $10/pr.

Made me bust out laughing!!

It may be over simplistic, Joe Boxer's boxer briefs have a bit more room for the package without sacrificing support. They are made of cotton not "Spandex". The cotton is my preference. . . ;D

Since I got the Ultimate seat my ass doesn't bother me at all. Not even on the 600 mile ride home the last day of our trip to the National.
But as Mike said sitting on the ol ball bearings is very uncomfortable.
I haven't found anything to keep that from happening yet.
NO I am not going the castration route

Vas doesn't help either, actually makes 'em bigger for a few months. . . (TMI)
