Otherwise, I'd go for relatively long inseam shorts. (I have a pair of Sugoi tri shorts that I like, but I like my plain ol' UnderArmour compression shorts the best) (neither has leg grippers)

Well, I say tri shorts WITHOUT a leg gripper that digs into your thigh.
I use Desoto tri shorts.

I've only had thigh grippers because my thighs rub together and cause everything else to make a bunched up beeline for the crotch. Do the shorts without the leg grippers ride up? I have massive (albeit mostly muscular thighs) and have trouble with running shorts, regular shorts, etc staying in place.
pssst: ladies with skinny thighs that don't touch aren't allowed to answer this question, because I know their answer is no (I used to be a skinny thighed woman).![]()

LOL I use to be one of those skinny-thigh chics but somewhere in college that changed.Most of the shorts I own (even non-cycling ones) always seem to ride up on me. I have two pairs of cycling shorts from Performance that don't have the grippers and they don't ride up on me but they are probably on the longer side. I think as long as there's no room for them to move they won't ride up.
