Shorts...suggestions?

You would buy an x small .

Of course - I forget there are even smaller sizes

People keep telling me how small I am so I guess I need to believe them. To me - 125 pounds at 5'3 isn't small but that is another topic.

125 lbs at 5'3" is plenty small! I'm two inches shorter, and to be honest, I'm built such that 125 is probably as small as I should ever go. I feel miserable when lighter.

In answer to the OP, I've recently tried the Specialized RBX Comp short, and while I think I would have preferred the longer short over the shorty (sausage legs), I like how the chamois fits.

Two years ago I bought two pairs of shorts with the PI 3D chamois. In my opinion the chamois is a little too thick. One pair seemed to compress after a while and is now one of my favorite pair for longer rides, the other one though, the chamois bunched up, got creased and became so uncomfortable I chucked them.
My absolute favorite pair though is the the Louis Garneou Neo Power shorts I bought last summer. Super comfy chamois! Nice waist band, doesn't cut into me. I will say though that they do fit a little snugger than my other shorts, which makes them a little tougher to get on. But once on, they fit like a glove, perfect.
I'll be buying another pair this year for sure.
