style=\"margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003eThat's the reputation cheap padded shorts earned, and it's the first thing these were designed against. The pad is contoured and low-profile: five thin layers, not one thick slab. You can walk, sit and queue for coffee without giving it a second thought. You'll know the pad is there when you first put them on; nobody else will.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 4px;font-weight:700;\"\u003eWill anyone be able to tell I'm wearing them?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003eNo. That's the point. They're cut like regular boxer briefs and sit flat under shorts, jeans, chinos or baggy shorts, with no visible lines and no bulk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 4px;font-weight:700;\"\u003eMy saddle is already padded. Why would I need these?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003eA saddle is static: you slide around on top of it, and the pressure still lands where it lands. A pad that's part of what you're wearing moves with your body and spreads that pressure across your sit bones the whole time you pedal. The two work together, with whatever saddle you already have.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 4px;font-weight:700;\"\u003eWhat do I wear them under?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003eWhatever you already ride in: shorts, jeans, work trousers, joggers, gym shorts or baggy shorts. They go on first, next to the skin, with your own clothes over the top. They take the place of your usual underwear, rather than going over it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 4px;font-weight:700;\"\u003eWon't the pad get hot and sweaty?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003eThe shorts are built around big breathable mesh side panels, moisture-wicking fabric and a mesh base under the pad, so air keeps moving where it matters. And because there's no back panel or straps, they run cooler than full bib shorts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 4px;font-weight:700;\"\u003eDo they help with chafing?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003eThat's a big part of what they're for. Chafing is mostly rubbing: rough seams and damp fabric working on the same patch of skin, mile after mile. These put a smooth layer with flatlock seams between you and whatever you're wearing over them, and the wicking fabric moves sweat on before it can turn into friction. They reduce the rubbing rather than make it vanish: if one spot always complains on really long rides, chamois cream is still a good friend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 4px;font-weight:700;\"\u003eDoes the padding go flat after a while?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003eOne flat piece of foam packs down. That's what happens with cheap undershorts. This pad's sponge core and high-density foam layers are there to hold their shape, with a gel surface for the road buzz, so it is built to feel the same ride after ride.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 4px;font-weight:700;\"\u003eWhat size should I order?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003eThey come in S to 3XL. Check the size chart against your waist measurement, and if you're between sizes, take the larger one. A pad works best when the shorts sit comfortably rather than tight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 4px;font-weight:700;\"\u003eDo they work indoors, on a trainer or spin bike?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003eYes. A static bike's saddle is often the hardest one you'll sit on. A folded towel or a gel seat cover stays on the seat and slides around under you; a pad you're wearing moves with you. Same shorts, same job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 4px;font-weight:700;\"\u003eHow do I wash them?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003eMachine wash cold and hang them to dry. Skip the fabric softener and the tumble dryer: both work against technical wicking fabric, and air-drying keeps the pad in shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 4px;font-weight:700;\"\u003eHow much riding do these make sense for?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;\"\u003eHonest answer: for a mile or two around the corner, you might not need padding at all. Anywhere past that, the commute, the loop or the long ride you've been putting off, is where the saddle starts to make its point, and where these earn their keep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background:#f7f8fa;border-radius:18px;padding:28px 24px;margin:0 0 32px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:0 0 12px;font-size:22px;\"\u003eGood to know\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0;padding-left:20px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom:8px;\"\u003eWear them next to the skin, in place of your usual underwear, with your own clothes over the top.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom:8px;\"\u003eBetween sizes, take the larger size.
