Butt pads to make your butt happy
These fix great and everything stays in place while riding. They don’t seem to ride up or slip down. The padding is in the right place to make long rides more comfortable. Don’t get me wrong, a long ride is still going to leave you sore if you’re sitting a lot but these will make you more comfortable. I use them now on short and long rides, and will probably buy another pair.They do feel weird, almost a little uncomfortable or awkward when you first put them on (almost like a diaper), but as soon as you get in the bike that all goes away. Quality seems good, haven’t had too long but only have one pair so they’ve already been washed a few times and seem to be holding up. Hope this helps.

Good sizing, fits well, comfortable and priced just right for short to medium rides!
I bough these for my shorter rides and they are perfect. The padding gets compressed for any rides longer than 2 hours and starts to have diminishing effects. But for the price, what you get is a good product that is perfect for my needs.

Orange/black is much shorter than the blue one
Bought the orange/black as well as the blue version and surprisingly the orange one is much shorter. At first thought I was imaging it but, seeing them side by side it’s quite significant.Love the blue one, length is perfect. These pants are good value for their money and comfortable. Just be aware of (possible) length differences

Comfortable
I had a real issue with a sore butt before buying these and they work nicely. Stretch comfort, padding where I need it, easy to wash, cost effective.

Below-average product in my comparison review of low-cost cycling underwear shorts
I'm a cyclist. Most frequently, I'm riding my road bike for exercise on either greenways or roads, in which case I'm wearing padded, suspender-style cycling shorts.On occasion, however, I'm riding my commuter bike while on a recreational ride with my wife. In these cases, I've got a pair of loose-fitting, unpadded touring bike shorts to wear. In the past, I've simply worn a pair of athletic undershorts under the touring bike shorts. Over time, I had decided that really needed the padding that I had with my regular cycling shorts, but didn't want to wear my regular cycling shorts for recreational cycling instead of my touring shorts (as we sometimes combine a ride with a restaurant stop or social visit).Wearing regular cycling shorts underneath my touring shorts would be way too bulky and inconvenient, so my solution was to look for a pair of relatively-inexpensive padded cycling underwear shorts to combine with my touring bike shorts.Padded cycling underwear shorts have padding similar to, but less dense than, regular cycling shorts (so not quite as good, but good enough for a "comfort" saddle or a well-padded MTB saddle). They are made of lighter-weight, mesh fabric (similar to daily-wear stretch boxer briefs). That lighter fabric is a bit more revealing, so they really need to be worn underneath another pair of shorts, pants, or tights (which is what they're made for, of course).Given that I would be using these only occasionally, I decided to limit the cost to $25 (at the time of my purchase on 5/25/22).Based on my experience with regular cycling shorts, I was specifically looking for Mens Cycling Underwear Shorts that had the following features: * Wide waistband (narrow waistbands tend to roll during a ride or lose their stretch sooner after repeated washing). * Ample padding (for use with a comfort or well-padded MTB saddle) with good coverage; a too-small pad is as bad as a too-thin pad. * Longer inseam (I'm 6'2" with 34" inseam legs and long thighs; shorter inseam stretch shorts ride up on my thighs, which is annoying during daily wear, let alone during a bike ride). * Leg bottom-seam gripper material (again, to lessen the chance of the legs riding up); this is usually some kind of stretchy silicone material. * A structural design with multiple panels (for an optimized fit for a seated position); good cycling shorts will have 8 or more panels, exclusive of the crotch pad panel; the reviewed products all have either 9 or 10 panels. Note: The lighter-weight stretch mesh fabric used in the reviewed products may make panel count a less-significant factor than with regular cycling shorts. * Flat seams at all panel joints (as opposed to a gathered seam, which bunches up, and can cause irritation during athletic activities).I'll admit that this was a pretty demanding feature list for a target price of <$25; to my surprise,there were 5 candidate products that were worth ordering for comparison.Below are my evaluations of the fit and features of these cycling underwear shorts, with the names given as shown on the Amazon product pages (price in parentheses; all were solid black in size XL and fit my 39" waist comfortably; inseam lengths measured from the center of the crotch panel):* Przewalski Mens Cycling Underwear Shorts 4D Padded Bike Undershorts Bicycle MTB Liner Shorts with Silicone Leg Grippers ($14.99) - This product is my top choice, as it has all my desired features, and is the only product with a 9" inseam. It is made with a 90% polyester, 10% spandex mesh material (according to the Amazon product description; there was no material composition tag in the product, but it definitely felt like polyester microfiber). Additionally, the leg gripper is a solid silicone band, which is what I'm used to seeing in higher-quality cycling shorts. Finally, this product has 100% flat seams. One possible con: Because of the long inseam, the bottom of the leg falls just below the thickest part of my thighs, making the bottom edge feel slightly loose, but the quality of the gripper band gives me confidence that I won't have any issues with their riding up. If you have more-slender thighs, however, this may not be the product for you. Note that the product received didn't visually match the photos on the Amazon product page--the waistband has the brand name on it (versus solid black in the photos) and the seat pad design looks slightly different (more forward coverage than shown in the photos, which is actually good, though it does leave me wondering whether you're actually getting the padding densities that are shown in the pad "exploded view" image).* Souke Sports Men's Cycling Underwear Shorts 4D Padded Bike Bicycle MTB Liner Shorts with Anti-Slip Leg Grips ($24.99) - The most expensive product in this comparison, it has a higher-density pad than my top choice (though the coverage isn't quite as good to the front of the pad). If you'll be riding on a road bike saddle (or a less-padded MTB saddle) instead of a comfort saddle, this product may be the ticket for a comfortable ride for you. It is made with a 90% polyester, 10% spandex mesh material, and has a 6.5" inseam. The gripper material is woven into a stretch bottom-seam panel (which should work OK, but not as well as the solid silicone band in my top choice). One significant con is that the inner leg seams are NOT flat seams, so be conscious of the possibility of inner-thigh chafing.* XGC Men's Cycling Underwear Shorts with High-Density High-Elasticity and Highly Breathable 4D Gel Padded ($19.99) - This product is almost identical to the Souke product, with different branding and a slightly-less-dense pad. It is made with a 95% polyester, 5% elastane mesh material, and has a 6.5" inseam. All other features and notes on the Souke product review also apply to this product (including the absence of inner-leg flat seams).* Nice Win Mens 4D Padded Bike Shorts Anti-slip Leg Cycling Underwear MTB Liner Wide WaistBand Biking Bicycle Motorcycle Underpants - This product has a lower-density pad than the previous three products in this review. While this may work OK with a comfort saddle, I don't think I'd recommend it for use with an MTB saddle (and certainly not with a road bike saddle). It is made with an 81% nylon, 19% spandex mesh material (not polyester, as stated in the Amazon product description), and has a 7" inseam. The gripper material is woven into a stretch bottom-seam panel (which should work OK, but not as well as the solid silicone band in my top choice). One significant con is that the inner leg seams are NOT flat seams, so be conscious of the possibility of inner-thigh chafing. Note: The nylon material in this product has a much more "slippery" feel to it than the polyester microfiber material in the other four reviewed products. This may lead to some "slippage" between these shorts and your outwear shorts/pants, which could result in some sliding around on the bike saddle. I didn't test this product on a ride, so I can't say for sure that this would be a problem, but be aware of the possibility.* [THIS PRODUCT] Baleaf Men's Cycling Underwear Shorts 3D Padded Bike Bicycle Pants Quick-Dry Tights ($22.99; a 10% coupon was available) - This product has a lower-density pad than the first three products in this review (similar to the Nice Win product). While this may work OK with a comfort saddle, I don't think I'd recommend it for use with an MTB saddle (and certainly not with a road bike saddle). It is made with a 90% polyester, 10% spandex mesh material, and has a 5.5" inseam (a full inch shorter than any other reviewed product). Finally, this product DOES have 100% flat seams. There is one very significant con: To my surprise, there is NO gripper material at the bottom of the legs; combined with the shorter-than-average inseam, I would be concerned about the legs riding up while cycling.

Very comfortable
I bought a Large for a 33/34-inch waist and it fits great. I've worn it several times riding for 20-25 miles at a time and it's been very comfortable with no issues. The price is also much better than some other brands. Overall, it's a great buy and I will be getting more as I replace other worn-out shorts.

Worked great for long rides.
E-bikes extend your riding range, so it’s imperative to have good bike shorts. Seem to be of good quality.

Great padding, very short
Very short, but padded well. Tend to ride up on my thunder thighs.

The padding is in the crotch area leaving it very restricted and no padding where you want it.Dont waste your money

Comfort where it's needed most!
After having a year off from biking I got a bit saddle sore on my first 2.5 mile ride,enter the most comfortable padded shorts I've ever used!! They fit perfectly (I went a size up to be safe) and are snug so the padding doesn't stray from where it should be like cheaper shorts. Bought my son some as well so we are definitely fans of the product

Bene per la bici
L'ho comprati per un utilizzo con la moto, ma avendo la sella larga, il suo utilizzo si azzera, idonei per la bici ma non per troppo tempo di percorrenza.

Buono
E' un fondello economico ma fatto abbastanza bene, adatto a ciclisti non professionisti per uscite di 40 km al massimo. Io ho una taglia a metà fra la S e la M. Ho acquistato una M e vestono abbastanza bene e comodi, forse andava bene anche la S, ma li terrò.
