underware or no underware?

Ok after a few day's absence due to having an injured child at home, I am back to respond to the responses to my question (that was a tad redundant, eh?). So my chamois folds in half not because it's separating from the shorts, but I think maybe because it's too thick. My thighs (which are NOT thin) kind of squish the chamois together and it folds in half length-wise. And my shorts may be too big, like someone said, because they do not fit like a second skin. I dunno, they are just uncomfortable. I tried wearing them yesterday on a short 10 mile ride, and my bum hurt worse with those shorts that without. The thing I did like, however, was that my skin was not irritated by sweaty underwear (sorry for the bluntness), so didn't have to deal with a rash. So, I guess I'll need to keep shopping for shorts. I hate shopping....I do like some of the Terry shorts that I've seen online, so maybe I'll try those. But did I mention that I hate shopping????

Anyhoo, thanks for the advice, and sorry for the hijack!
