Not at all! Cycling shorts are usually thick, heavy lycra that squeezes you in. Ours are made from super soft, lightweight tights material. They are ultra-stretchy, breathable, and practically invisible under clothes, with a high waistband that actually stays put without rolling down.

Slip them on under skirts, dresses, or trousers. Most people wear them over knickers, but the breathable cotton gusset means you can comfortably wear them as a replacement too.

Anything where you want chafe-free thighs! They're brilliant under dresses or skirts, great for dog walks, gym sessions, running, sports, or even just lounging on the sofa in total comfort.

100% yes. Plenty of men use them to prevent chafing under shorts or trousers. They're a super comfortable swap for boxers or standard sportswear.

Our classic Chub Rub Shorts give you generous coverage with a 10-inch inseam. We listened when you asked for a shorter option for mini dresses and skirts, so we created our popular 'Shorties' for exactly that!
