Padded Y-Fronts

User said:

I am using padded cycling shorts and find them to be fantastic for comfort, and the fact that they
are breathable makes a big difference.

However, as I am more used to Y-fronts rather than boxer type underpants I wondered if there are
any good padded Y-front style short-liners ?

Not sure if I've understood quite right, but do be aware that cycle shorts can be (and often are)
used with no underpants at all. Fewer things to chafe this way.

Use skin tight lycra shorts with chamois inserts and no underwear.

Best to have no padding, it cuts of the blood supply.

That's right. Have no padding in pants or shorts, get a solid tyre and one of these saddles:-

Seriously, it was only after I swapped from my well padded summer shorts to my bib tights which have
virtually no padding that I noticed my [censored] had stopped get cold.

For pansies. You should bolt your pelvis directly to the frame. Use Ti bolts and you might save a
gramme or two as well!

The unbreathable ones can be very dangerous. Recall those bank robbers who got caught because they
had to pull their unbreathable tights off during the robbery.

That is what I have got now but I find it a bit uncomfortable as you can "tuck your bits in" with
Y-fronts, where-as with the cycle shorts (Lusso 8 panel, coolmax with insert) your bits are just
kind of sitting there.

If you see what I mean.

Although a picture speaks a thousand words. . . maybe not in this case.

Wiggle have these

Yes we do thanks. Everyone is different, ordinary, good quality shorts work for me.

Apologies in advance to those of a sensitive nature, but... I find that in c-shorts the bits need
putting where you want them, but once that's done (basically pointing up in my case) they stay out
of the way fine. Doesn't really work walking, but cycling I don't have a problem (and I'm normally a
briefs rather than boxers man because I don't like the "just sitting there" vibe in boxers, like
yourself).

Maybe it's a size issue.

It can be difficult for those of us with slim waist/hips/[censored] to find cycling shorts that are tight
enough to do the necessary upfront yet aren't too tight on the thighs or too short.

I agree with Peter C and in response to your point Pete maybe bib shorts or braces will help keep
the front taught. I am no lard [censored] and I manage OK

And you really expect to get any sympathy whatsoever from those of us who do not suffer from such
problems? Dream on skinny!!

I've got some Polaris ones - They are brief design: Not Y-Front. But they do keep my bits both
padded and in position. I have some boxershort style liners which are less comfy.

Cycle shorts = sleek, modern, attractive [1] Y-fronts = old fashioned, ugly, a.k.a. "no
score drawers"

Both the above are based upon extensive research amongst cycling and non-cycling female friends.
Personal experience leads me to think that this, combined with the comfort factor of cycling shorts,
means that cycle shorts are the way to go.

Cheers,

Graeme

[1] with the possible exception of the red pair that I have. I'd worn them for a good few rides when
my wife pointed out that not only did they rather draw attention to my lower half, but they were
also so thin that more than just the outline was visible :-O
