How to Choose your goUnder Style
There are a few things to consider and think about when choosing a Bike goUnder style. The following list will help
- body shape – each style of Bike goUnder has been designed with a certain body shape in mind, please pay attention to our advice
- your size – the choices you have will be determined by what size you are
- your preferred underwear style – all our padded bike underwear are comfortable to wear but you may only feel happy in a certain style that you are familiar with
- the type of riding you do – all our padded bike underwear are comfortable to wear but certain styles match to certain levels or types of riding e.g. the Boyleg style and active riders
Style: High Waist Brief goUnders
Size Range: Available in our widest size range from size 8 -22.
High Waist Briefs are designed to sit high on the body near the natural waistline. They suit bodies that have average to long length between the hip joint and waist (often tall women). They are the preferred style for curvy, round body shapes. The higher a waistband sits on your body the less likely you will create a “muffin top” or bulge above the waist band – the waist band is elastic free & 4cm wide. If you normally wear clothes & regular underwear at waist level you will prefer this design.
A High Waist Brief is best suited to:
- tall riders, tall torso
- curvy shapes, with added weight around the belly
- pear shapes, heavy around upper thighs, hip area
- those who like high waist underwear
- sizes 8 to 22
Choose your Riding Level
High Waist Bike goUnders are fitted onto your body. They are available in two different levels of riding. You can choose either Endurance or Recreation.
Endurance Fabric
- Endurance level compression onto the body – medium lift & support
- Colour options – Black or Navy
- Mid weight – 260gsm
Our endurance fabric will give you a great fit with ease of movement – 4 way stretch from 14% elastane. The fabric provides firm non slipping, placement of the bike pad against your body. It is a strong, durable fabric known for its ‘hold in’ sensation, giving women smoother contours and great support.
Endurance Padding:
- Endurance
- Genital Endurance/Performance
- Connection Endurance.
Please see the Padding Section at the bottom of this page.
Recreation Fabric
- Recreation level compression onto the body. Gentle lift & support.
- Colour options – Black or Teal Floral

Please see the Padding Section at the bottom of this page.
Style: Mid Waist Brief goUnders
Size range: Available from size 8 -18.
Mid Waist Briefs sit lower on the body than the high waist option – a full 5cm lower. They are designed to sit across the top of the hips at the height of the two prominent boney points (front of the body). The waist band is elastic free and 4cm wide providing a firm fixing point. They are best suited to flatter, wide body shapes and those with normal or short length between the hip joint and waist (average height to shorter women). Best choice for women who wear their clothes & regular underwear at or below this hip level.
A Mid Waist Brief is best suited to:
- shorter riders, shorter torso
- flat, wide body shapes
- petite
- those who wear their underwear at or below hip level
- sizes 8 to 18
Choose your Level of Padding
The Mid Waist Brief goUnder is available with 2 different levels of padding. You can choose either Endurance or Recreation Padding.
The Endurance Pad is best suited to rides of more than 2 hours, women who experience a lot of discomfort at the middle and back of their saddle, or for riding on consecutive days.
The Recreation Pad is best suited to rides of less than 2 hours. It also suits women who want protection but prefer less bulk and anyone suffering from soft tissue compression on the front of a saddle.
Style: Boyleg goUnders
Size range: Available from size S – 2XL
Boylegs are designed to sit over the hip, bottom and upper leg area of your body. They have more leg length and will cover the front of your thigh. The inside leg length is 1cm. They are a more modern style of underwear and are a popular shape with youth. They do offer more fabric to hold your chamois more firmly in place and are therefore better for moving riders. The waistband has 6mm elastic at the top edge to provide a feeling of connection to the body without cutting in.
A Boyleg is best suited to:
- straighter body shapes – little or no waist
- round, large bottom shape
- need good protection and connection to a soft pad
- flexible, adaptive pad preferred by active riders
- sizes S to 2XL
Padding – Active Endurance
The Womens Boyleg goUnders has endurance level padding that offers great protection and ability to mold to your body shape. The pad is soft and flexible and moves well with your body. It suits active riders that are on and off their seat, as in NZ trail riding or mountain biking. Also great for sweat management and will dry quickly overnight on multi day rides. Suits ride times between 1-6hrs.
How to Choose Your Bike goUnder Padding/Chamois

- the level of padding you want – there are two different levels of pad to choose from – Endurance or Recreation. Your choice will be influenced by time on the bike, distance and multi day riding
- any specific discomfort you experience on a bike seat. All pads will help with sit bone discomfort. We offer ‘Speciality Pads’ that cater to specific needs

How to wear your Bike goUnders
They become the underwear you ride in. The padding (chamois) sits directly next to your skin. Do not wear everyday underwear with them. This is important as any additional seams and fabric under your Bike goUnders can cause chaffing and moisture retention and this will cause issues.
What to wear with your Bike goUnders
With the padding and cushioning you need for bike seat comfort in your underwear you can pair Bike goUnders with your choice of clothing to bike in. Choose clothing that allows movement and won’t get caught in any moving parts of your bike and you feel good in… Shorts, long pants, tights of varying lengths, skirts, dresses… the choice is yours.
