Review on 🚴 BALEAF Women's 5-Inch Bike Shorts with 4D Padded Pockets - Cycling Shorts for Mountain Biking, Bicycle Spinning, and Gel Cushioning - UPF50+ by Donald Gore

I bought these for trishaw rides and the padding is very useful for my work. All friction and pockets hold just right. HOWEVER if you have big hips be careful they can compress. Even if you have a waist measurement I find they are a bit small in the legs I would go up a size. , according to the table it should be my size, but my legs were unbearably cramped. In the photo I'm wearing size XL and my feet feel better, still a bit cramped but at least it doesn't hurt. These shorts are essentially meant to be underwear, so don't wear them with them or it could cause more uncomfortable chafing and you won't let the shorts do their job. It's also important to wash them right after a day on the bike, as bacteria can get into the spongy parts.
