I can get my padded shorts on under tightish jeans, without being obvious - so a skirt should be fine - the padding is mostly under you, it doesn't follow the curve right up the back..!

I feel your pain. In reality, I find that the pad doesn't extend far enough backwards to actually make my arse look any bigger. And hey, it's pretty big already, what difference is a few mm going to make!
Leggings are about as good as it gets in the non-cycle-specific-clothing world. Try to avoid knickers with lacy trim around the leg-holes, shorts-y ones are often better than the classic ones, but beware shorts-y ones with a central seam. Ouch. M&S used to sell some great ones in a really silky stretchy fabric.0 -

God, I love this thread!

See this is evident that all girls playing sports or participating in sporting activity should go commando all the time.
Moonio, the buckwild antics of last night haven't got anything to do with riding the bike. You may have been riding something but its possible that riding the bike didn't result in the subsequent pain
Punani, a much enjoyed word from my youth. Love it. Hours of fun saying that one. I'll be chuckling to myself all the way home.
When in lycra all girls should go commando. Punani's be warned!
AND I'm done.Food Chain number = 4

Speaking of aquaplaning, an ex of mine used this saddle and liked it. Reeeeally liked it.

Have you tried changing your saddle position. Not that it's helped me so far. I've tried normal knickers, padded knicker and padded shorts and it doesn't make any difference. But I've read elsewhere it's something to try.0 -

I think you ladies seriously underestimate the attractiveness of a full-bottom for blokes. You say fat, we say shapely!0 -

Reading this thread brings two conclusions:

"Likeable" saddles etc....
my wife found same effect from riding in jeans. Of course I burned all her jeans immediately- can't risk being upstaged by a piece of faded denim0 -
These are great for wearing under stuff:

Terry also make really good women-specific saddles and give suggestions about which saddles suit which bike type/riding position.A life lived in fear is a life half lived.0 -
I would suggest
Narrower saddle - try before you buy
Cotton underwear if you don't want padded shorts - cooler and less sweat makes your skin less likely to rub. If you do go for padded shorts try before you buy
Chamois cream - at least until the skin heals - cools and contains silicone - less rubbing0 -
Not all men are the same. I cringe at some of the replies on here despite the fact they may only be made in jest. I can sympathise with your problem and commend you for broaching a sensitive subject on an open forum.
I love my padded shorts, which go on under my baggy pants, they have made a massive difference to my riding enjoyment. The biggest difference other than that was getting the saddle in the right place though. Took me a good while of a little bit back, a little bit forward, tilted a bit, no no no, pins and needles where I shouldn't have them, tilt it the other way a bit........
One thing I don't get though, and maybe this is a male thing, I honestly don't give a crap what I look like so long as I am comfortable. Same with my car, or any other tool I have to use. I just need it to do a job not look pretty.
I got scalped badly today by a lady in lycra on a very nice looking road bike. I didn't notice what shorts she was wearing, it's just sexy as hell seeing a woman in perfect control of a bike, owning the road and everyone on it and I apologise if that comes across as sexist, it's just true, for me at least.0 -
+1 BL. To help heal everything up, I am told that Sudocrem is a wondrous thing for any sore bits. Works a treat on our 11-month old and if it's good enough for her...1985 Mercian King of Mercia - work in progress (Hah! Who am I kidding?)

I wish I'd have remembered sudacrem.

You shouldn't have to be going through all this, it must be down to saddle width for bike type, saddle position, saddle height.Bikes, saddles and stuff

I've skipped most the thread and have to say buy padded shorts!! but there is a twist. You don't need to go down the Lycra everything on show route.
Pick up some mountain bike gear, endura humvees are a great start and they make a ladies cut. They come in normal or 3/4.
I've done several thousand miles in mine, they are perfect.0 -
If it' just the size of the padding in shorts that bothers you, check out triathlon shorts. Since they are designed for off- bike flexibility, the insert is far less nappy-like than regular cycle shorts.0

I can second that, very comfortable and hard wearing. I've used mine with the padded shorts that come with them and my Spesh padded shorts, both work well.
Also you can try pointing the front of the saddle down slightly, not too much just enough so your weight is more on your sit bones and the front is out the way.0 -
