The chamois does nothing for padding your boys. The chamois absorbs sweat but unfortunately it doesn’t work that well. Your boys will be much better protected if you wear a compression liner and shorts over it if you want to cover up. Compression liners keep your boys tucked up and wick sweat keeping you comfortable and drier. Chamois are just a nasty medium for bacteria and fungus.
If you are looking at plain looking shorts mountain biking shorts would work.
