Just a few points about used shorts to think about ...
I'm a woman who wears her shorts on long, long, long rides. I've been in the same pair of shorts for 24+ hours on many occasions. As a woman, we have a certain monthly cycle. It's a pain to use products for that cycle while riding, so a lot of us women just use the padding in the shorts, so to speak.
Knowing the mess my shorts are in at the end of my long rides, there is absolutely NOTHING which would compel me to buy used shorts.

I wonder how many cyclists are stuffing a sock in their bicycle shorts walking around like Ron Burgundy saying "Don't act like you're not impressed"

Does eBay have a fetish section?

Who said anything about cyclists frequently washing their cycling shorts, especially those with chamois padding? Or washing them at all?

You'd rather ride 'shortless?' Bare bunz on a saddle? . . . poor saddle!

I don't know what all the fuss is about, it's 80% water and we've got chemicals to take care of the remaining 20.

I just want you sick people to know that, while reading this thread, I threw up in my mouth a little bit. You've also ruined me for lunch. Thanks very much.
Nice going

My sister-in-law sold some of her used workout shoes to some guy who walked up to her as she was putting her groceries away once. She got about what she paid for the shoes in the first place, and tried to sell him some of the rest of her stuff too. Which isn't a bad deal for the seller when you think about it.

There's not enough mental bleach to erase the memory of this tread.

I'm a long time thrift store shopper, and I have no problem with used bike shorts, as long as they are in good condition. You can tell by close examination. Some look like they were almost never even worn. (like the thrift store bikes that were never ridden). I have found shorts in thrift shops with the tags still on.
Americans in general are too squeamish. Just my opinion.
