My first shorts, purchased in 1985 or so had a real leather chamois. They were made in Italy by Sergal of Lycra and the chamois which was unpadded, and had no stretch. To clean them, you hand washed them with ordinary soap and put them out in the sun. They became a little tough after that, so you added a few drops of baby oil to soften it. The purpose of chamois was to reduce friction from the fore and aft and side to side movement. The padding was all in the saddle, but the first two or three rides of the season were always uncomfortable, because the skin had not yet toughened up. There was no such thing as women's saddles or women's bib shorts at the time.
Ich mag die meisten Polster von elastic Interface…wobei es da echt große Unterschiede gibt. Kalas verarbeitet sie auch, SUPER! Finisseur (deporvillage-Eigenmarke) nutzt ebenso Polster dieser Firma (oder hat das zumindest getan), die meinem Hintern leider nicht passen 😢😅. Danke für das Video ! ❤
learned a lot. thanks

Wow thank you for sharing! Sounds like comfort has come a long way since then, I can't imagine riding without underwear on chamois leather 🤐

Please make more short videos with your pee friendly cycling shorts, like the "which friend are you" one but maybe a bit longer, they are so funny!
I don't know what I'm watching or how I got here. These are the largest sanitary pads I have ever seen.
oh no! wrong function 🤣
