RE: [RC] For Ladies Only - having a back up plan - Sharon Levasseur
Men… don’t read this…
Yeah, I’ve heard stories similar to
that, and I’ve heard of people whose tights go RIIIIIIIP! right across
the butt. But seeing as how, right now, I can’t even solve my
chafing problem WITHOUT undies, I’m definitely not going to make it work
WITH them. (I have the world’s worst underwear-funnel for a butt,
AND apparently my crotch has Princess and the Pea syndrome.) So I just
make sure I wear new-enough tights that they aren’t at risk of blowouts.
That’s all I can do for now.

having a back up plan
I would very much so use extra caution when NOT
wearing underwear, and tights (or whatever when you ride), or not wearing any
underwear at all when doing a sport like ours.
When I had a *verysevere* injury on a
training / trail ride, I was VERY glad I had underwear on. They had to
remove my tights. And I will cut to the chase: I sat on a picnic
table for quite some time in my underwear waiting for the
paramedics/ambulance. I of course had somebody help me peel the
tights off, and they didn't have to cut off my Endura Cools. The
paramedics were ready though to do so, sissors in hand! It was like
they wore them in a holster like a gun! Ready to pull them out and cut
off my pants, or whatever. Those tights slipped off like a ripe
banana peel, another good thing about tights. My friend made sure they
didn't cut them off. And there I sat . . . . in my underwear . . .
. on a picnic table. For me it would have been very embarrassing to
remove clothes and have nothing underneath, and be bared butted for
everybody to see. And a sweaty saddle pad would have been itchy I would
suspect.
Yes, my undies get sweaty. They do not rub
my arse. I ride in Tropical Rider Endura Cools, and the tights do wick
away the moisture, so they do not get so wet, or not wet at all. During
hot sweaty rides I usually go into the tack room and change socks, shirt,
underwear, sometimes even my bra, then I am ready to go out again, nice and dry
- ahhhh. Hey, buy a 1,000 pairs if you have to. Just have a back up
in case somebody has to cut off your pants! Hey in another incident,
rain, I was so wet, I had to wear my husband's boxer shorts and his shirt to
drive home. He wore regualar shorts home, and no shirt. But we were
both dry, and covered.

Wishing she had had on some wild colored underwear
rather than white ones. I am ready now, and wear them wild for just such
another occasion(which I hope to not have another occasion). And yes I carry
back up underwear in my trailer. Color is a good thing.
