I've got some old Rapha ones which are a bit too big - thin pad which doesn't do too much. And I guess the slight too-bigness means they chafe a smidge too.
I've got some DHB ones which I sized down. They cut off the blood to my legs.
Not fun to wear any padded pants all day long to be honest - the pad will keep your bits hot and sweaty, which provides a fertile ground for breeding bacteria, which then leads to what you're trying to prevent - saddle sores.
So the best thing is to bring spare pants with you to work and change in the loos.
And many days you will forget your pants and swing free, free as a bird. -
I commute in the padded boxer shorts. Wouldn't use them for long rides but under an hour is fine. Definitely size down, there's a lot of stretch in them.

Does anyone have an opinion on the padded boxer shorts?
Do they offer some comfort without feeling like a nappy? Is it worth sizing down to help prevent this?
Thank you!
