Padding is thin and badly-fitted

Best Uses

Commuting

Comments about Novara Padded Cycle Boxers - Women's:

I bought these for commuting and wish I had gone for another brand. I would describe myself as having an athletic body shape but I'm not sure who these are supposed to fit. I tried a medium, but the butt was way too baggy and the padding is kind of stiff in these, so it was like sitting on cardboard. I ended up getting a small, which works ok, but the leg openings are then too narrow--and I don't have particularly large thighs either--so if you wear them under other pants you might end up with unflattering lumpy legs. Definitely don't buy these if you've ever considered yourself small-butted, because if you want something that fits your butt you'll probably end up with something not large enough in the waist and thighs.

Other cons: The material is not very stretchy at all. For bike underwear I would recommend buying something from Shebeest's commuter line and detaching the inner shorts. The padding is much higher quality.

Comments about Novara Padded Cycle Boxers - Women's:

I usually use this for commuting but my commuting distance is pretty far (11 miles). I like these because they fit pretty well and the padding is not too much so it doesn't look too big under everyday clothing. However i have to agree with the first review I don't like the material. For being an underwear, these are not soft at all, or for even normal pants. I have to say the material do feel like cardboard. Other than that they fit me very well and are pretty comfortable.

Comments about Novara Padded Cycle Boxers - Women's:

These boxers are really comfortable. Another reviewer mentioned that the padding is thin, but that's exactly why I like them. I have another very similar pair from another manufacturer with so much padding that it bunches up and causes problems. I forget I have these on. I'm wear a size 12 pants and the large fits me fine. I'm ordering another pair!

Spinning Class

Comments about Novara Padded Cycle Boxers - Women's:

I purchased these padded briefs about 2 months ago, after two spinning classes. Wish I had them before the first one! Got a size L. I normally wear a size 14. I wear them under the "Columbia - Sandy River Cargo Shorts", which are quick drying and loose. They stay in place well and I'm so grateful for this product!
