Unmentionables

Really ?? - as in your wearing women's undies??!

Surely not much different from wearing women's tights or leggings under your leathers in the winter.

The problem is men don't get pregnant and they are the only "paper" ones I have found.

It must be a 'Suffolk thing' :D
 
Wow - thanks to all for the responses and for mentioning your unmentionables :-)

This has been a good place to start and I have ended up buying a pair of Under Armour, 2 pairs of Rohan (1xbriefs and 1xboxers) and 2 pairs of Ex-Officio (1xbriefs and 1xboxers) and so armed with 5 pairs for the month I can do my own assessment of what works for me.

Grim Rider - where did you manage to find the "LD Comfort" shorts in the UK? They came up tops many times in other forums but I could only find them on US sites?

Gossy - I didn't know EDZ did underwear otherwise I would have added them to my evaluation list.

Thanks again to everyone that put their ideas forward - great advice as always although I'm still a little dubious about getting pregnant .......... :-p

what about using a netted bag and strapping it to your bike with wet clothes in, the water will soon evaporate in the hot climate.

I did exactly that. Works very well!
Loosely tied on top of your roll bag so it can move about and get air through it.

I think you can only get them from the US site direct - the ones I have were part of the prize for winning the first Brit Butt Rally! Their stuff is not cheap but is probably the best, dries very quickly and lasts forever.

Mirror stems, that's what I do:D

:eek:
 
Speaking as someone who has regularly (14 times on my GS) done 1000 mile days and who has tried quite a number of combinations - the best is LD Comfort shorts, but if you find, as I do since I broke my femur, that the elastic around the leg is uncomfortable then the next best I have found are shorts made from bamboo. Whatever, you need to look for underwear without seams which is what will give you pain after a while. Socks - silk and wool (not merino).

As for merino wool - just seeing Pink's video on Peta's website (https://secure.peta.org/site/Advocacy?cmd=display&page=UserAction&id=823) was enough to make me want to boycott it.

I see Aldi are selling Bamboo under wear on Bank holiday Monday. What are they like to dry ?

Dry well enough that I only ever take two pairs on trips, one to wear and one to wash and dry.
 
Just been in Aldi today and they are selling them now,so got 2 pairs for my next trip in 4 weeks time.

I tested some disposable underwear recently (Amazon), actually thin cotton but you get them in packs of 5. Comfy all day on the bike. Wanged em in the evening. They burn up to nothing too.

Trips longer than 5 days I use quick drying underwear, wash one, wear one, dry one and spare.

There always ways of drying things.
 
I've been using suicide underwear, save up old tatty stuff and dispose after use
