This is a real ebay item. The photo is hilarious.

Can't think of a reasonable description, you'll just have to look . . .

Well that's the more blunt way of putting it but as usual he's dead right.

Typical marketing puff piece. Full of hot air.

... if you read the small print they are actually billed as "padded undershorts" ... but still very weird, and as for the gas discharge I assume that's some Chinese marketing man's way of saying they are "breathable"

I seem to recollect there was a padded thong marketed for lady riders a few years ago ... perhaps the same people?!?!
