Terry 2007 Knickers Plus - Where is the chamois supposed to be??
OK. I know this is probably just stupid, BUT...
I bought a pair of Terry 2007 Knickers Plus in 2X a couple of weeks ago. I was so eager to ride with a chamois (I've been riding up to 35 miles without any padding), that I ripped open the package, took my underwear off, and put them on to ride in.
I'm wondering if they're too big. The chamois feels weird...like when I'm walking it's never really against my private parts (unless I hike the knickers all the way up to my chest)! And, when I'm riding, it seems like way more of the chamois is bunched up in the front against my belly (sort of folded over on itself).
So far, I've not worn these knickers on a road bike and have only used them on my very upright hybrid. Perhaps the extra chamois material will be useful on the road bike when I'm sitting differently??
If I've bought the wrong pair/wrong size, I'm going to be very annoyed with myself since I paid $85 for them and can't return them now since I've worn them.
But, be honest...what do you think? Are they fitting wrong?:confused:
thanks,

Got my new PI shorts already!
Wow. Those TE folks are on it! I already got the PI shorts.
I think that they fit well. They're much more snug than the knickers were. I don't have to pull them up to my chest! The chamois is much closer to my body when walking.
Also, the chamois seems to be a more reasonable shape...with the back portion being much wider than the front portion. Seems to make much more sense than those knickers with all the chamois in the front! :eek: I have a hard time imagining ANY woman who that chamois would suit! It was so weird! There isn't any chamois bunching up in front. Ahh...:D
I've tried them on while tooling around on my bike in the alley in back of my house. Kept the tags and underwear on this time! Plan to try the shorts out on a longer ride this week.
