Padded riding shorts?

When I saw this ad from SitRelief, I had to laugh!

But I've read so many posts about folks hating their seats and spending big $$$ for replacements that maybe this is not a bad idea.

No endorsement intended. I'm just throwing it out there in case it helps some one. I can hear the jokes now.

We didn't even have kids and I know why babies cry. I wouldn't like the feeling of packing a load in my chones.

Be sure to put the potato in the front

Actually , I've been looking for something like this , not the padded part, but some kind of tight shorts.

Go ahead with the jokes, I can take it

Depends?

You people crack me up.

Oops. Would Depends help that condition?

How about a runway fashion show for this product at the next GTG?

Photo shop ?

One more advancement in riding comfort borrowed from the cycling industry. First drywicking t-shirts and now this. Just be sure to wear your jeans over them!

I have worn bicycling shorts before on trips and it sure helps being able to ride
longer without a sore butt.

Bought a pair of these for Long distance riding. No seams and they get rid of the perspiration. Use them on anything over 300 miles. Not really padded, but thicker poly fiber. I'd get another pair for $45 if I lost these. Put some Monkey Butt powder on first and you can ride all day.

Midnight Rider · « **Reply #19 on:** September 08, 2011, 01:18:54 PM »

On long rides, I have always worn wicking boxer briefs from Ex Officio, Teramar, etc. They do help, don't "bunch up" in places you don't want them to, and help prevent hot spots on your a$$. Plus, they wash out easily and dry overnight. Cotton baselayers are pretty much useless. The padded bicycle tights would probably be a good idea, and might save buying a $1000 seat.

Those would give a whole new meaning to the question: "Honey, do these make my a$$ look big?"...."Uh...no baby, not at all"

CVODON · « **Reply #20 on:** September 09, 2011, 09:28:10 PM »

You can buy the padded bicycle shorts at about any bike shop, large chain sporting goods shop and probably online. I have a couple pairs with Gel inserts in the area where you would contact a bicycle seat, also they are lined in the crotch area with a soft chamois material. They are very confortable and I also wear them when we ride 300+ in a day. They do not bunch and the chamois absorbs sweat without sticking to you. But for shorter (or longer) days regular old Under Armor long leg underwear is almost as good, costs about $20/each and they are hard to beat, flat seams, wide waste band and do not ride up, or down. I wear them everyday.

Why not padded shorts? As a former avid cyclist and racer, padded shorts are great. Less chaffing, more padding for the bumps in the road, fantastic breathability...the list goes on and on. They'd fit under your jeans/riding pants with no problems whatsoever. No one would ever know...just like they'd never know if you were wearing thong undies. The only negative I can think of is it makes it harder to adjust your junk.

Indenial · « **Reply #22 on:** September 13, 2011, 09:39:12 AM »

The girls at the office say I have "old mans syndrome"---fat belly and skinny ass. Maybe these would plump me up a bit.

SilveRT8 · « **Reply #23 on:** September 26, 2011, 02:06:44 PM »

I now wear a G-string, really not confortable at all.
I have no other choice...since my wife found a pair in the car....and I assured her they were mine !!!!!

So on a ten day ride $450.00 in underwear or are they reversible so you only need 5 pair?

Depending on where you drive, it might be advisable to have a couple of extra pairs.

I like the Under Armor

Indenial · « **Reply #29 on:** September 27, 2011, 02:04:15 PM »

It depends who I'm riding with. On a 10 day ride alone, one maybe two pairs. On a trip with my wife, daily change, but then we only do up to 300 miles and I don't need the riding shorts.
