You can learn more about goUnder design and the performance fabric here.
How to Use this Guide
Bike goUnders come in a range of style options, a range of riding level options and with a choice of padding. We have something for every rider.
We recommend learning about the different styles we offer and the body shapes they suit. You can then gain knowledge about our riding levels and padding range with an underwear style in mind.
goUnder Styles
Three different styles are available
- High Waist Brief – Sizes 8 to 22
- Mid Waist Brief – Sizes 8 to 18
- Boy Leg – Sizes S to 2XL
- Boxer – Sizes S to 2XL (available mid 2026)
High Waist Brief: Sizes 8-22
Mid Waist Brief: Sizes 8-18
Boyleg: Sizes S-2XL
Style: Brief goUnders – High or Mid Waist
Size Range: Available in our widest size range from size 8 -22.
Riding Levels: Available in both Endurance & Recreation
High Waist Briefs are designed to sit high on the body near the natural waistline. 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. 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.
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
Size range: Available from size 8 -18.
Riding Levels: Available in both Endurance & Recreation
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).
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
Style: Boyleg goUnders
Size range: Available from size S – 2XL
Riding Level: Available in Endurance
Boylegs are designed to sit over the hip, bottom and upper leg area of your body. They have more rear length and will cover the very top of the front of your thigh. The inside leg length is 1cm. 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
- flat bottom / skinny legs
- need good protection and connection to your pad
- moving, active riders
- sizes S to 2XL

How to Choose Your Bike goUnder Padding/Chamois
There are a few things to consider and think about when choosing Bike goUnder Padding. The following list will help
- 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 ‘Specific Comfort’ Padding that cater to specific needs
- the type of riding you do – certain pads match to certain types of riding e.g. indoor endurance for stationary bikes, Spin classes, gym workouts
- you may find that you want different padding for the different riding that you do, this is totally normal. We support & encourage you to ride in different ways and at different levels.
Please Note: The pad is not separate to your bike underwear. All padding is carefully placed and sewn into matching Bike goUnders e.g endurance fabric with endurance pad.

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.
