Not cycle related... Do you ever do "Commando" - some people may be offended...

[TonyEnjoyD]

Just got back from five days in Mallorca and only wore keks on the travel to and from, but noticed several times since arriving home that my "nether region" seems much more comfortable even though I am now non-commando.

I have occasionally commuted only to find that I was forced into commando mode due to a miscalculation on the number of smalls sets I took into work at the weekend. However, I always feel so much better across the day!

To give it another slant on the pros or cons, if my wife ever whispers that she is ommando, it has a very positive effect on me, and I cycle to work commando every day, so...why is commando almost frowned upon by most blokes?

TonyEnjoyD what can we say ,the thought of commando has different thoughts and ideas whizzing through my mind .

Dunno. I do it often, but can be awkward in shortish shorts when you sit down ....

In the summer nearly always, unless wearing a suit or something formal.

In the winter less so, I don't know why.

I guess I'm just a fair weather commando

Only when wearing a kilt- and that is never whilst cycling. Definitely not on a recumbent.

only wear pants in work as i have been unfortunate enough to split trousers once or twice.

Thinks how painful getting the skin getting caught in zip, or man hair either ....

Underpants were invented for a reason folks.

I've never gone commando outside of the house. When commuting I wear ordinary clothes including cotton boxers, when doing the longer rides, Sunday club rides/leisure rides, typically somewhere between 50 and 70 miles, I wear cycle clothes with bamboo sports trunks under unpadded shorts or unpadded tights.
It feels not right to be sans underwear in public.

I prefer comando, but decent smalls are almost, almost as comfy
