Now that the whole underwear question has been posed... I have one of my own. How to you women paddlers guard yourself against shoulder strap abrasions? When I paddle, I oftentimes wear a swimsuit underneath. I've also worn a shorts bra/cool max shirt combo... But the elastic in most of them rub my shoulder raw. Do any of you have suggestions about brands and whatnot? Thanks in advance!

Not being of a large build, I find that the elasticity of my wetsuit provides sufficient support in and of itself, and have come to think of additional undergarments as solely for cosmetic or social comfort. That being said, I also found the straps of a swmsuit to be somewhat binding and opted for a soft sportsbra with wide straps when I feel something other than my regular paddling wear is desired. :) Tori ....
