Chub-rub shorts: pants underneath?

[newyorkbreakfast]

Sorry for thick question but are you supposed to wear undies? The shorts I've bought don't have a flat, lined gusset; there's just a seam joining the too legs together. Seems like you need pants too. TK MAXX Nautica is the brand.

I dont

I do - I don’t fancy the positioning of that seam! Mine are a bit like men’s jersey trunks (from Amazon and sold as women’s) and have no gusset.

I wear pants under mine as they feel more comfortable that way. I have a few different types but one type is like a tights material so saving anyone from seeing my backside is a must!

I wear knickers under mine. I think of them as short tights

I wear pants under one set as the seam is uncomfortable. But the m and s ones have a flat gusset sewn in so I wear them alone. Obv cooler in hot weather to go without the pants!

I don't, mine have a gusset, they're proper knickers with legs in.

I don't the seam of my undies causes more rub and chaffing than my actual thighs!

Definitely, they are like normal shorts.

I wear Jockey Skimmies. They have a gusset and are knickers with legs so definitely no pants required as why would you wear double pants?!

I haven't been but I'm wondering whether I should have... mine have no gusset but are knicker like material which was why I didn't...tbh its been too hot. If people wear thongs then a chub rub pair of shorts is fine...I'm going to use these in the winter now and buy gusseted ones for the summer next year.

Mine are just like short tights to I do. But if I had some which were more like pants material or had a gusset then probably wouldn’t.

Mine are made from the same material as pants, and have a gusset, so I just wear those. They are a godsend!

Thanks everyone, they're obviously all made a bit differently and mine definitely feel weird without pants so I'll give that a go.

Yes, I treat them like shorts.

Yes I do...would you wear knickers under cycling shorts? Of course you would...so what's the difference? 🤷‍♀️

It sounds like you sound for those. I have some Sloggi Basic Long Briefs and they have a proper gusset (and are shorts style to stop chub rub)

I don’t wear chub rub shorts, but my general rule with anything is that if it is tight fitting and has a cotton gusset (not a centre seam -ouch!), you don’t need knickers. Obviously they need washing after one wear, but body fitting things do anyway.

Most cycle shorts are designed to be worn without knickers too.

I don’t wear knickers with tights either (always buy ones with a cotton gusset), they stop up better that way. The clue is often depicted in the picture on the packet.

what Brand do we all have?

I have some snag ones and M&S

i like both, but I’d like a pair that hold the tummy in too, like control tights?

I’ve got snag chub rub shirts that are tights material they have a cotton gusset but but I’ve never thought about wearing them with out knickers.

Yes because it never crossed my mind that not wearing pants was an option! And because if I wear pants I can wear the shorts more than once.

@MrsOwainGlyndŵr -It’s Catch 22! You are washing shorts less but washing more knickers. I wouldn’t wear any shorts which are tight fitting more than once anyway.

I have the snag one which are like a pair of tights. They do have a gusset like a pp its never crossed my mind not to wear pants. You need to wash them every wash anyway because if I need chub rub shorts it’s because I’m sweating.
