Underwear underground

[pisshead]

no bra - not just because of the afformentioned problems of underwiring, but also because cave mud doesn't wash out all that easily and bras are more expensive thean some other items of underwear!

never tried it with nothing on the bottom half! maybe something to experiment with

I wear lycra cycling/rugby shorts. Reasonably warm, plenty of support, comfortable, don't absorb water. As a bonus they smell lovely and look pretty damn sexy when you're getting changed.

A cork and an elastic band is AOK for most trips.

I always wear tight fiting y fonts, once when wearing boxers has a nasty incident with a trapped bo..ock getting trapped in the harness half way up a long pitch!!

yeah lovely if you like eau de edam lol

I did hear a very funny story about an old old club member who went to france, ate something dodgy the day before a deep cave and got the craps whils prussiking up a huge entrance shaft in his wetsuit! nice.

thank god I wasnt behind him then ewww yuk yuk.

I too have never had an issue with things down below getting trapped on pitches using SRT. A good quality caving harness normally fixes that issue.

I once had this problem before going into Ireby Fell Cavern... I found a nice shakehole to remedy the problem. Having no shreddies on provided me with a quicker escape route for the offending undercooked sausages!!

I hate to disillusion you, but the sexiness or otherwise of adjacent males is the last thing a lady is concerned about while changing out of caving gear on a windswept hillside with the sleet coming horizontally.

Absolute Rubbish! Depends how HOT the adjacent male cavers are!
The ones i have been caving with have been so hot they would have made the snow melt

I had a great pair of tightish boxers which held everything in position fine. However, 200 trips later they were crotchless. Happily, with a bit of patching they have returned, and are yet again protecting my ability to have children.

I have also never peed in my wetsuit - but then again it is a neofleece, so the piss would probably soak into the fleece. I may prevent leakage via thet arms and neck in the event of the trots, but a) I suspect it would again soak in, which is arguably worse, and b) I have no intention of finding out personally.

Maybe, but that's because they weren't wearing lycra shorts. Or, more importantly, weren't me.

 

[Cave_Troll]

or you could try not peeing in you wetsuit.

 

[diggerdog adam]

God whats been started here ?

To pee or not to pee :boz:

Seen recently, probably somewhere on here:

'There are two sorts of cavers - those that pee in their wetsuits and those that lie'

I've always found it's better to pee in somebody eles's wetsuit! :twisted:

 

[Fred]

Never mind whether the laydeez are more comfortable going commando or not - they need to consider their fellow cavers. The humble caving bra can be a life saver - see the thread on "Your most frightening underground experience". Rob (?) wrote about being in

Penyghent Pot when one of his mates took a bit of a spill on a sharp flake of rock and made a nice deep cut in his hand. He was 'rescued' by a lovely Geordie who promptly removed her brassiere to be used as a pressure bandage

Perhaps someone should pass this on to the BCRC?
