Got on my bike for the first time since Fall. Put my bib tights on to go for a ride. Man, my pubic hair came through the tights. I don't mind that with my legs, but the pubes are a bit embarrassing. How can this be addressed? Is it just a matter of the tights getting too thin? Anybody have experience with this?
any cyclists out there?

- sdbg,
I've never had the pubic hair go through the lycra fabric or through the pad. I trim about every 4 - 6 weeks most of the year; I trim and shave during the summer about every 2 - 3 weeks. I'll notice that my crotch gets uncomfortable when the hair grows long, but I've never seen the hair poke through.
- sdbg,
That used to happen to me when my chest and back hair would go through the shirt fabric. Some of my smart ass friends would pull it. This was before I ever trimmed. Now I trim my entire trunk and love it. The hair will still go through my shirts if I let it grow long enough. I try to keep after it so it won't happen. Keeping the crotch trimmed really makes the bike short / bibs more comfortable for me. I highly recommend it.
I trim, too. But I think the trimming leads to this situation. The hair is now straighter, not curled. I'll try trimming more and sees what happens.
This happens with some of my shorts -- those with thinner Lycra (they're "summer-weight," or they're just cheaper). I'm trimmed pretty short and narrow, and I agree that trimming seems to make the hairs spikier so a few poke through. But I don't really care. I see a lot of riders on any given ride and I'm not exactly checking them out in that area; I doubt anyone else is going to notice a protruding millimeter here and there on me.
