Cycling underwear ?

[Chess]

Hi all. Is there such a garment ? I'm looking for some cycling padded undershorts or something similar to wear under my (normal) trousers on my commute to work.
I'm suffering from severe chaffing/ sore bum/ache and thought something like this would ease my problems.
Any advice and recommendations great fully received.
Thanks.

yes, they do exist from Gore, dhb, Endura etc. Try Wiggle and use chamois cream or sudocreme.

Most likely you are experiencing chaffing...because you are wearing "normal" trousers. It may be best to just accept that whatever distance/style of riding you are doing, deserves different clothing.

Time to lycra up I fear.

Adding more layers will make matter worse.

Potentially, but I know plenty of people who wear padded garments under shorts etc with no ill effect, and I can't fathom what the difference might be.

Vulpine are an exquisite but expensive option.

Lidl and Aldi have padded undercrackers in their cycling promotions quite often. Doubt you'll get any cheaper than that.

Although, if @Chess is already experiencing the rub, then It would be a fair bet to assume that extra layers wont assist that.

Material type , If you are sweating wearing cotton boxers they just absorb sweat and cause chaffing , I wear something like compression shorts , they are just like unpadded cycle shorts , wear them instead of normal pants, I wear them while walking as well .

There are. You can just wear normal shorts underneath [your trousers], but the undershorts benefit from not being shiny (and slippery) so your trousers stay put. I've got these Endura ones which came with my Humvee shorts.

Not too expensive either.

Well it would stop the trousers wearing out on the saddle I suppose

 

[I like Skol]

I may be able to post an alternative option. I ride 3-4,000 miles a year without the aid of a padded short. My simple yet effective solution is to wear M&S trunks style underwear under my trouser/shorts of choice. In my opinion it is far more important to be comfortably fitted to the bike than to wear padding that will mask a poor fit! This has served me well and even on a mega 185 miles in one day ride I did earlier this year I was still not sore at the end of the day. Uncomfortable maybe, but not sore and was of perfectly happy to jump back on the bike the next day.
Padded shorts are not necessarily the answer!

I'm like Skol - M&S trunks under office trousers, lightweight baggies, or unpadded longs, according to destination & season.
The trousers are outdoor gear (Berghaus, currently), on the basis that, suitably selected, they are smart enough, and don't get holes in like proper ones do.

Perhaps some of it is that I ride Brooks saddles, which are shiny so that the clothing moves with me, rather than sticking to the saddle and rubbing against me.
