Do the pads in our cycling shorts lose their padding affect if worn around the house?

[Accy cyclist]

That's my question. I like to wear my cycling shorts, provided they aren't wet or sweaty, around the house after a ride. I've even worn them down the pub. The thing is does sitting down on a flat chair kind of squash the padding more than on a bike saddle?

Sure, but so long as he lands on his arse, flipping should be fine in any environment now.

I like to wear my shorts because they give me a bit of padding when sat on these rock hard stand chairs. I have a bony bum. To think i once got to the final of Accrington's Rear Of The Year!

Accrington's Rear Of The Year!
I have to say the moderators on this forum do a splendid job the way they transpose PC words for the original.

It's a worry.

If your pad isn't sweaty after a ride, it wasn't a ride; I'm not sure I've ever retired to the pub or the sitting room in dry, comfortable cycling shorts. Sinking a cold one in sweaty kit after a ride looks effortlessly cool.

If you're heading out to the pub or settling in at home for the full evening in dry, fresh cycling shorts however, I'd respectfully suggest you're heading towards the "Saville" end of the eccentricity scale.

The mechanical structure of the padding is designed to withstand a twisting for of 69 lb/ft and slightly for on sideways waft, now the displacement required when sitting on say a flat chair is only 37.5 lb/ft This means that over a sustained period of maybe 92 minutes some thinning of the cycosymatic piddle storing padding may occur. In laboratory tests it has been found that the padding will return to its natural state of paddiness if washed at 37.2 degrees.

The numbers are different for softer furnishings such as pub seats, unfortunately on this occasion rather than the padding flattening the waistband has been found to tighten.

My first pair of padded undershorts are due to arrive today.
I'll give them a test run around the house later and report back my findings.

No but,they've been worn which means all sorts of bacteria are active, not quite hygenic

A couple of alternatives:
A) Get to the pub earlier so that you can bag a comfy chair.
B) Change pub.

Fair play, how do you come up with such preposterous questions?

Is it possible that maybe the furniture was not a good purchase. I think Lidl sometimes do bed pillow for £5 could you not tape one of those to the chair, this would avoid walking around the house in sweaty shorts.

What do the others in your house think.
