How do I wear my biking shorts correctly?

Question

Just bought a pair of biking shorts, pretty sure I had the correct size for a 36 waist, but when I wear them the padding that is suppose to be between my butt and the seat ends up in my crotch area which defeats the purpose of having it there. I've tried pulling them way up, down and everything inbetween and the problem remains. Did I get the wrong size, or is there a special way you have to put them on? Thanks.

Hi,

If you want to see how they are worn go online and search for biking pictures. In any case, the padding protects both your sit bones, your perineum area and your crotch.

As far as I know there is no science to it: put them on and go (the label usually goes in the back).

Good luck,

Carlos
