Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why should women wear women's padded bike shorts?
They're designed to cushion pressure points, prevent chafing, and wick away moisture — making them essential for both comfort and performance.
2. Should I wear underwear under cycling shorts?
No — they're meant to be worn without underwear to avoid friction, bulk, and moisture retention.
3. What's the difference between women's and men's cycling gear?
Women's shorts are shaped to match female anatomy: wider sit bones, different chamois contours, and waist designs for comfort.
4. How do I choose the right size and fit?
They should fit snugly but not restrictively. Always refer to sizing charts and consider trying different cuts if you're between sizes.
5. What's the difference between bib shorts and regular shorts?
Bibs use shoulder straps to hold them in place, avoiding waistband pressure. Regular shorts are simpler to take off but may shift more during rides.
6. How do I care for my shorts?
Wash in cold water with mild detergent, skip fabric softeners, and always air dry to preserve fabric and padding quality.
7. Are cycling shorts good for indoor training or spin classes?
Absolutely. Even indoors, extended sitting can cause discomfort—proper gear helps reduce pressure and heat buildup.
8. What materials are used?
Most are made from Lycra, nylon, or spandex for stretch and breathability. Padding is typically foam or gel for comfort.
9. How can I avoid saddle sores?
Keep shorts clean, use anti-chafe creams, ensure proper bike fit, and alternate riding positions when possible.
10. Are there options for plus-size women?
Yes, many brands now offer extended sizing with the same high-performance features and comfort.
