Will removal of bottom hair increase or reduce cycling comfort?

[Usehernamegood]

Anyone got a definitive answer? What do the Pros do, presumably they've worked out a long time ago whether bald or natural is best.

And if I'm better off without bottom hair, what's the best and least painful removal method?

Slap a load of hair removal between the cheeks, go make yourself a cuppa and jump in the shower 10 minutes later!

Let's get technical here for a minute, the only reason for doing this (even thinking about doing this) is that hair rubbing between saddle + shorts and skin causes discomfort through friction - amirite? So, the area in question is quite small and there is no need for a Brazilian massacre as long as you 'hit the spot' so to speak. Here's what you do: remove your shorts and spread the saddle with grinding paste (any car parts shop will have it) and go for a short ride, preferable out of sight of anyone with a delicate disposition, when get home you will be sore briefly, three months tops - all the hair will be gone and your bum will be ground to a shiny finish the shape of your saddle as a bonus.

Would Swarfega act as a substitute and a cleanser?

Just pulled it out clump by clump with my fingers in the end, as there wasn't much of it. Wasn't painful and didn't cost me anything. Job done!

Can't think of much that would be more humiliating than being on all fours while some lady (are all beauticians ladies) waxes my bottom!

Hmm, I've heard some people pay good money for just that sort of treatment........

Can you keep any future updates to private messages. Ta.

F£cking hell, I can't believe you've actually done it. And the method! Gadz!

I'll confess that I did it once, as a naive and idiotic teenager. I still remember the agony of the regrowth. It's horrendous. So you've got that to look forward to.

Well he'll only be saying how much easier cycling is or how much faster he is!

Just a point of order any time recorded immediately after the application of after shave does not count. Trust me I checked this with velominati.
