Padded Underwear for Men: Cycling, Equestrian, Sports, Aesthetic. Enhancements for men’s underwear is becoming more common these days but do you guys really need padded underwear? If you are engaged in sporty activities where you gotta protect either your bum or your “front area”, then it goes without saying that you do need to get yourself some padded underwear.
For instance, if you are an equestrian or spend a significant amount of time on top of a horse, then you should buy a padded equestrian underwear like this Equetech ComfyRumps (£39.95):
We hope said underwear comes in other colors because white easily stains and is harder to wash.
