Or do you always assume your own underwear is at least a little bit dirty even after it's been in the wash?

Yes; because it is - but it's my own dirt so no big deal. Have a read at THIS if you need convincing.

What about used bedsheets ?


No.

Never stayed in a hotel then?

It may just be my insane, extreme wealth, but cycling shorts just aren't expensive enough for me to want to buy second hand. They're what, £20 or £30 at Decathlon.

posh windproof winter drawers can be close to £200.

I'm always seeing all over the internet people selling used cycle shorts. Just why? I can't think of anything worse than wearing a tight pair of shorts and knowing that some other bloke has also gone commando in them. Shudder. I know you can wash them but still....

It's just wrong, and should be illegal, the padding must be a huge bacteria store, you can't even wash them in proper aggressive detergent, and super hot temperatures.

The sheets are usually washed at 60deg C and in some pretty strong detergents, however, even knowing that, I spend alot of my life in Hotels, and prefer not to think about it. But used cycling shorts, the wrongness is in a league of it's own.

People get up to all sorts of things in hotel beds, or so I'm told. Much more than merely riding a bike, though riding may be involved

I am deducing from this that used condoms also aren't on your shopping list?

Isn't there the story of the Sargent of the Black Watch bring a condom in for repair. He was told it could be repaired for one and six but he could have a new one for half a crown. He said he'd have to think about it.

He returned the next day "the regiment will have it repaired"

I'm sure you're right, but to be honest, it's things like arm chairs and sofas, stuff that doesn't get washed that I worry the most about when I'm in a hotel.

Dont' worry we won't judge you for that. But perhaps you might consider getting help.

I think @Profpointy duff protest too much!

Seriously each to their own, maybe its how much I sweat in my bibs that put me off, but I am just bit squeamish about it. I hate public toilets for the same reasons really. Plus take a look at those to see mist blokes level of cleanliness!
