I have some padded bike shorts I’d like to wear on a bike ride, but I’m getting pretty in my head about poop particles getting into the shorts and not washing out in the wash.

    I’d look into augmenting your fiber, that helped a lot for me. Also, I wet paper first then dry now. I have a lot of hair so dry only wasn’t really taking care of everything and then when I would sweat, it would feel gross. I guess a bidet would work as well.

            No problem! I just thought of another possible solution. When I used to work as a line cook, we would put some baby powder down there to keep things dry. No idea if it will work with bike shorts and biking in general but it might be something to try.

              I’ve thought about that, but I’m worried the corn starch would act like an extra abrasive, and also be difficult to wash out of the foam-like padding. Does anyone else do that with bike shorts?
