Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

Did about 100 miles per day for 5 days wearing them (fresh pair each day, in case you're wondering). A bit of nappy cream on my cheeks, all day comfort. (Did that sound like a menstrual product?) I love them.

If you decide to try them, then be certain to get the size right so that the pad won't move around. I have medium shorts / trews from them but the correct pants size for me is small.

This - I think the reason I found mine so uncomfortable was because they were a size too big for me.
