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 seem to have that already, so i think my fiber is fine. But thank you for the suggestion!

      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?
