Cycling shorts gave up the ghost

Okay so I know this is silly, but I've become aware that a pair of my cycling shorts have basically lost any hint of concealment of my rear section.

I'm not sure if this is making drivers more or less likely to hit me lol

The shorts are only about 6 months old, from decathlon and otherwise have been great. Padding is still good, still a great fit. It just seems so wasteful to throw them away so I thought I'd see if anyone had any good insightful, maybe ridiculous ideas on ways cover up.

I found these neoprene patches but it seems they're mainly for tears so they are quite small.

Maybe just tear up some old underwear so it's just the rear section left πŸ˜…πŸ€”πŸ˜†
