[#11925736]

With pads in, I ordered some..it's been some years and my parts are tender..padded undershorts from Didoo, they appear surprising quality at a strangely low price point, but the first pair that arrived was nearly cutting off the blood circulation in my legs, the elastic was very very tight around the quad grippy bit, upsized and...it's still pretty tight, I have been away from cycling for a few years and my quads are not what they were, still tight, is this normal? or have I lived most of my life not knowing I have fat legs?

I can’t comment on the ones you have just bought but you could try the undershorts decathlon sell as an alternative. I’ve got plenty big thighs but still manage to get into these (admittedly in XXL sizing) without any discomfort or them leaving behind marks from being too tight.

Yep, I've also for the Decathlon ones linked to after recommendations from here. Use them on the mtb and on Zwift.

Decent for the price and more "real world" sized than some child sized adult stuff I've seen.lol

I've bought some bargain priced non brand ones from ebay just as a punt in the recent past and they were teeny weeny in side.

Surprised by the price being more than what I can get Endura ones for, considering its Decathlon. Are the gel inserts an improvement over chamois.

Fat Lad at the Back Grundies should deal with the quad issue

I'm not a fan of Gel pads - sweaty as.

Those Decathlon shorts went up from £19.99 relatively recently. I bought two pairs at that price and they have been excellent
