Are there such things ?
Padded shorts and bibs give me groin pain whereas padded underwear does not. Are there shorts and bibs with no front part of the pad or a very thin minimal pad that would not put pressure on groin area.

    Triathlon shorts usually have minimal padding.

    might be more to do with the saddle than what you're wearing

    Why would padding give you groin pain ?

    Thats what i cant understand, but it does. Seems to put pressure on my testicles and within 2 days of wearing bib shorts or shorts i have a dull ache in my groin and lower back. Im of slight build and im guessing its because theres too much padding as i do not get the pain with padded underwear or riding without padding. I just get a sore backside eventually.

    errr - just do the pad stitching and take it out.

    Mountain bike baggy shorts don’t have pads. You can use those. Looks much better too.

    If i am ever knocked off my bike and end up in hospital wearing those i will just say Bikeradar Forums told me to wear them. Actually, wish i had known that excuse the time i got caught in the local park in stockings and high heels. :oops:
    I will have a look at the tri stuff but probably go back to padded underwear and baggy shorts and give up on the latex even though it makes my thighs look amazing.

    Ah, you are female?

    There's a few threads here all about non padded shorts. Seems that quite a few women don't get on with shorts with pads. Perhaps, this helps:
