Hello fellow bike commuters,

I have the impression that my underwear doesn't last as long as it would without me cycling to and from work five times a week. My boxer briefs get holes too quickly between the legs. Since I can't remember a time where I didn't cycle, it's difficult for me to know if this is due to cycling or the normal way for them to die.

Can anyone here tell me about their experience? Is this related to cycling frequently? More importantly, do you know of special cyclist underwear which is not the sporty padded type but something you could wear all day and which would't rip so easily.

Normally I'd exchange them for normal underwear when at work, but on a few occasions I wore them the whole day, and it was okay (depending on the sweat level of course).

For a few years now I've been wearing bike bib shorts though, since my commute is longer now.
