why are the pads in bibs so wide?

[goldfishin]

of the two i've tried they are both too wide and don't come up far enough in the front. some of the width goes away with cupping if i hike them up, but it feels like someone's trying to build a frikcen bridge between my thighs even when i've done that. the pad won't sit even or anything. it just wads up. could it be because i was wearing boxer breifs when trying them on?

Yes, could be a factor on the boxers.

Also, how narrow is your seat?

The pad will scrunch down once you get on a bike seat.

Front pads do come up a little short, depending on how your 'parts' are oriented at the time so to speak.

If this isn't a joke then, yeah, that is probably what is going on. :twitchy:

Where is the underwear nazi when you need him???

[socalrider]

are you sure you are buying the correct size? Have you used bibs in the past?

Ditch the boxers.
