Buying ladies' underwear

[MossCommuter]

OK, don't get the the wrong idea... I am looking for a b'day present for my SiL (yeah,yeah, they all say that).

Are these any good? Are there alternatives you might suggest? These are about the right price (I'll be getting two pairs).

if you have a beard, don't try it on in the shop

I find they chafe unless I shave my thighs

The right cycling shorts can be hit and miss for us laydees, so I'd suggest you keep the receipt in case she can't get on with them and need to return them.

Have you chosen the right size?

bye 18 and tell her they are 14

For your sister in law?

Hell, I'd freak if my brother in law bought me pants!

I'm guessing they were mentioned as possible gifts as not exactly the first thing to spring to mind when buying for a female cycling enthusiast.
Perhaps gift vouchers for a cycling retailer that stocks a suitable selection. Doesn't quite say I care in the same way admittedly but will stop folks like Bluebell72 changing all the locks

How far is she cycling - as I tried a pair of these as they were so cheap, but the padding was useless. I have ended up with several pairs of relatively cheap Tenn Outdoors shorts, which are still a lot cheaper than the big brands, but still have decent padding in. The padding in the Halfords ones is just a thin bit of foam and is hardly worth it.

yes, perhaps a better idea would be some Wiggle gift vocuhers

Thanks, then I won't bother with them.

She did ask for them by the way having seen mine.

Hhhhmmm... maybe I could have phrased that a little better.

Anyway, I'll get her some stepladders instead.

Don't ask

i think they should be ok, but i'll know better when i see the pics of her wearing them

It's true that buying for women can be pretty difficult. So it's always good to keep a receipt or find an online store with good return and refund policies.

I agree with Suecsi, the Tenn-Outdoors stuff is probably best value for money.
