      Pros

      • Dries Quickly

      Cons

      • No give in the leg holes
      • Not Enough Padding
      • Very uncomfortable

      Best Uses

        Comments about Novara Padded Bike Briefs - Women's:

        Bought these so I could wear my own shorts, but they don't have much padding, and the leg holes are too small and have absolutely no stretch. I have some thighs but they are by no means massive and these were miserable. I was happier riding with no padding at all!

        • Waist:
        • Feels true to size

        Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

          I did a 24 mile rail trail yesterday wearing two pair of this underwear and it was not enough even then. It felt like I was wearing my regular underwear with no padding.

                  Ladies; there's more padding in a feminine pad! I'm buying the other available gel Liners.

                  I may use these as regular underwear at times, though I prefer regular underwear. Whoever thought these would be useful for cycling?
