Best Cycling Underwear for Women of 2026

"I just started mountain biking and wanted something comfortable without spending a lot on a big-name brand right away. These shorts delivered—the padding is super cushioned yet not bulky, and they actually look flattering for bike shorts. They don’t ride up or bunch, and the material dries fast. Even over rocky trails, these kept me comfortable. For new cyclists or anyone looking for value, these really hold their own. I’ll definitely get another pair."

"I use these shorts for long rides on hot and humid days and find them comparable to my high-end cycling shorts, but at a much better price. The waistband stays up, the legs don’t ride up, and the chamois is more comfortable for long distances than on some pricier brands. The side pockets are deep and really convenient. I ride several times a week and am glad I added another Baleaf pair to my rotation."

"I really appreciate how Baleaf’s chamois keeps me comfortable and protected even on 40-mile rides. The longer version fits great, doesn’t slip, and the pockets are a huge plus. The shorter length is good for different tan lines, but with my thicker thighs, the inseam and grips aren’t the most flattering. Still, I wear them and especially love the Lycra 5-inch ones for summer—they’re cute and don’t give me that ‘sausage effect.’ Highly recommended!"

"I've found these to be amazingly comfortable for long motorcycle rides. The thick padding and quality build prevent discomfort and they never ride up. Definitely a top pick for anyone spending hours on the road."

"My previous pair from this brand were perfect—soft, conforming, and held up through many washes. But the recent pair I ordered was a letdown—the padding is much harder and the fit completely changed. It seems like the quality has dropped due to a manufacturing change."

"As someone with a flatter rear, I appreciate the higher padding these provide, which adds an extra layer of comfort. Overall, they're not a total waste and do the job for moderate use."

"I tried these out before a long horse riding trip, and they worked perfectly. The padding protected my skin, especially under my seat bones, and the fit was just right under my riding tights. I'm pear-shaped and the high waist was snug but comfortable, not digging in at all. The sizing chart is spot on. I'm so pleased, I've already bought two more pairs for my trip."

"I've worn these under both shorts and pants, and they made my rides way more comfortable. Highly recommend them if you're looking for extra comfort during cycling or other activities."

"After comparing these with another popular Amazon brand, these are far superior for my needs. The padding is much thicker and the mesh fabric is softer and more breathable. The higher waistband stays in place, and overall, they're a much better fit. Even though you can notice the padding outline and it might feel a little diaper-like, the comfort is worth it for longer rides."

"I've struggled with soreness and pressure from biking for ages, but these shorts changed everything. The comfort and breathability are fantastic, and the padding is just right—no more pain after rides. They're so well made, I plan on buying more!"

"As someone who rides 10-25 miles most days, I had a big chafing problem, but these shorts have been a total game changer. They wick sweat away and keep me comfortable on long rides. Padding placement is perfect on the bike, though it feels a bit odd when walking."

"After starting spin classes, I needed something to help with soreness and these shorts delivered. Love the 90s-inspired look—they get me compliments at the gym and the durability is amazing after months of use. They also fit perfectly and make me feel confident during workouts."

"I've been commuting by bike and needed a solution for saddle discomfort. These pads really do help with pressure points and soreness, and the price is definitely budget-friendly."

"The cushion quality is decent and they fit well, but unless you have tight cycling shorts, the pads can move around a bit when you get off the seat."

"Overall, for the cost, it's a functional option for reducing discomfort. If you don't want to spend more on padded shorts, this is an effective alternative."

"I’m honestly surprised by how comfortable and discreet these padded briefs are. I wore them on a 100-mile overnight cycling trip, and they stayed comfortable and totally invisible under my tights. The fabric dries fast, and I’d absolutely recommend this product."

"After trying bulkier padded shorts that felt like diapers, I was relieved to find these have a perfect amount of padding—just enough for comfort, but not bulky at all. I can wear them under any shorts or tights and ride comfortably, then go about my day without needing to change right away."

"As someone who does a lot of long Peloton rides, I needed something that would keep me comfortable without the 'diaper' look. These briefs are low-profile, not visible under leggings, and have just the right amount of padding to make endurance rides much easier. They might be a bit pricey, but for me, they’re totally worth it."

"I was initially concerned these would be too large since I'm 5'4" and curvy, but they actually fit comfortably. Next time, I'd choose a size down. The padding is effective for long rides, and I love how breathable they are—even under jeans."

"These bike undies are much more comfortable than standard riding pants. The narrower pad design fits better and I've found them easy to wear under leggings or shorts on my rides."

"I got these for my wife to use during motorcycle rides. The padding definitely helps alleviate her tailbone pain, and they fit as described—it's a cost-effective solution compared to a new seat."

"I've tried several brands, but these cycling shorts are by far my favorite for long rides. The padding is excellent and doesn't bunch up, and the pockets easily hold my phone and keys. I'm even considering using them for my Ironman instead of my trisuit!"

"As someone with short, stocky legs, I'm thrilled these shorts fit so well, especially with roomy leg openings. The waist drawstring is a great touch, and the material feels high quality. Definitely happy with this purchase!"

"These are the most comfortable cycling shorts I've owned—super affordable, breathable, and supportive. My rides are pain-free, and they look cute, too!"

"I'm so glad I decided to try these bike liners! They're super comfortable, lightweight, and keep me cool on every ride. I love that they fit perfectly and that I can wear them under any shorts or pants I already own. The ventilation is excellent, and I've had zero chafing or other issues. I'm definitely planning to buy more next summer!"

"These liners are thin, stretchy, and look great under regular shorts or tights. The padding isn't bulky, so they’re nearly invisible, and I appreciate how well they wash and dry. Great for travel and everyday biking—I even bought a second pair!"

"At 5'2" and 110 lbs, the small fits me just right. They’re comfortable and breathable for summer mountain biking, and the pad works well even on longer rides. The only thing is that the legs can bunch up and the waist elastic started to fray after a few months, but overall, I still like them and wear them regularly."

"I'm really happy with how comfortable and well-padded these are. I usually wear a medium or large, and after trying both, I found the medium gave a better, more secure fit with the padding right where it should be. They stay in place and don't roll up, even though I have thicker thighs and a curvier shape. The material feels durable and not too thick, so I think these will last. I'd recommend trying your usual size before sizing up."

"After trying two different sizes, I settled on the larger one and have worn them several times now. What I appreciate is the great padding that offers protection and comfort during rides—much better than standard padded bike shorts. They're discreet under any pants or shorts and the padding isn't bulky at all, so I don’t feel self-conscious wearing them."

"I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and comfort. I wear a medium in most clothes, and while I first tried a large, the medium fit perfectly and the padding felt better positioned. The leg holes are roomy and not tight, and I love that they don’t show lines under yoga pants. After several washes, they’re still holding up well, making my cycling experience much more comfortable."
