Ready, Steady, Pee – 5 Toilet Friendly Bib Shorts to the Test

We put 5 pairs of women's toilet friendly bib shorts to the test to find out what really works and what really doesn't work

THE ZIP: Endura FS260 Bib Short

Price: £74.99

Pee time: 18 seconds

Blimey these shorts leave little to the imagination once that zip comes undone! Featuring a zip that opens the entire way across the backside, allowing the material to expose your entire bottom, these toilet friendly shorts are reserved for the brave among us.

The cheapest cycling clothing to the test

While the pee time was quick, I have to say I am not a fan of this bib short. Firstly I find the material used on the shorts quite heavy and abrasive next to the skin. And secondly the position of the zip is extremely uncomfortable. In order to overcome the discomfort of the zip you would need to wear a longish baselayer at all times to provide a barrier between it and your skin which doesn’t make these shorts ideal for summer riding.

Verdict: For me, these shorts are not a winner. While there were very quick to unzip and zip back up, the zip does feel a little flimsy and believe you me, having a zip in this particular position fail mid-ride would be catastrophic!
