My wife always comments on my flat bottom. My fitted seat pants bag a little and these padded shorts do the trick. I normally wear a medium, but these were offered only in large but I got them anyway. They fit just right and are still stretchy. The pads are easilyremovable for washing. If you've ever worn padded bike shorts, you may wonder if these are comfortable to wear all day. The answer is yes. These are soft, comfortable and pliable. It doesn't feel like your back pockets are stuffed when you walk and they compress for comfort when sitting. They look natural and make for comfortable underwear,too.
