Seems like it would help keep the shorts from getting stinky.

Edit: i have learned a lot about friction here. Thanks!

    Do you have a vagina? They have discharge. I’ve never had a penis before but they seem drier. If you have a vagina then by the end of the day you’ll likely have visible discharge stains on your underwear, so maybe women bike riders would prefer the underwear, idk. (I cycle but don’t wear bike shorts so idk about that.)

      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.

        Vaginas are a 3rd hole full of fluids that you do not have. You aren’t grinding your penis head into the seat.

        Women also have buttholes and urethras… Vaginas are a lot wetter and leave more discharge. It’s not just about protecting expensive bike shorts. It gets uncomfortably damp and feels unpleasant. (I have never worn bike shorts to be clear, I just mean being commando in general).
