Nope they're still using the green pad. However, like AZTallRider says they are just like saddles. I find the Performance Ultra II bibs the most comfortable I've ever used, bar none.
In terms of the OP, it makes we wonder if there is a defect in the second pair of shorts. Can they be returned?
In terms of use while attempting to relieve oneself.... never came up short and had a problem.
