Seems like it would help keep the shorts from getting stinky.
Edit 1: friction is the answer
Edit 2: sorry for this edit – i was trying to make a new post, but Blorp for some reason took me to editing this one instead. Trying to put it back the way it was…


Vaginas are a 3rd hole full of fluids that you do not have. You aren’t grinding your penis head into the seat.
Do you wear underwear with padded bike shorts?
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.
