Just brought my first pair of assos bib shorts. The quality is amazing but the cut st the front means that any sort of belly hangs out. 

Should I 

A. Return them

B. Right around with pride at my bulging love handle 

C. Put them in a draw for that one day (which wil never happen) when I look like the model on the assos site? 

If you ever find yourself looking like the guy on the Assos site, you should have gone to specsavers - those glasses make him look like someone rebooted The Fly without Jeff Goldblum.

ASSOS bibs (tights and shorts) are cut low at the front to reduce pressure on the bladder. The less pressure on the bladder, the longer you can ride without having to take a comfort break.

I would use them as they were designed (for riding).

Which model on the ASSOS site?

Almost word for word from this review answer on Wiggle yet I cannot find this blurb from the Assos actual sight or anywhere in the technical details.

Still I am going to wear them and just hold my belly in

Indeed. And presumably make it a lot easier to get the old chap out to perform said comfort break? There's a lot of variance. My Lussos are a pain in the neck but my Castellis are a lot easier...
