The chafing I get is at the "crease" where top of the hamstring and bottom of cheek meet (where your panty line would be) on any ride over 30-35 miles, even if I put chamois butt'r there. I feel like all my shorts have the stitching that holds the chamois to the short right at that location and it rubs my saddle. I have this issue both with my PI and Sugoi shorts and I believe they both fit properly and I like them otherwise. I have a metric century next weekend and I'm little concerned. After riding 45 mi this morning and double application of butt'r, I have big, warm red spots on both sides. Suggestions? Thanks.
