I just bought a new pair of Pearl Izumi Men's Elite In-R-Cool bibs this week. Very nice.
Advantages: More comfortable fit. Can hide the old 'plumber's crack'.
Disadvantages: Tend to be hotter. The In-R-Cools are better in this respect, but still hotter than shorts.
Peeing although most quality bibs have a flexible front to allow men to take a wizz without too much difficulty.
Pooping. The trick here is to wear jerseys with a full zipper. Makes it much easier and faster to get undressed.
This is a strange one, but just be my body build. After a ride I often take off my jersey and replace it with a t-shirt. I also remove the bib straps and tuck them inside some shorts that I pull over the bibs. Due to the lack of an elastic band, often the bibs will start falling down towards my knees. I definitely do not want to follow this inner-city styling trend!
