I prefer men's, though. They just fit better, if I can find them in small enough sizes.
I like Voler's women's bibs, which go down to XS. I know then men's bib have a different chamois (I don't know how many of these options are available for non-custom orders). From our team ordering site:

VOLER COMPRESSION FABRIC FOR 2009
New Elite compression fabric for shorts and skinsuits features improved breathability, reduced wind drag and increased sun protection

NEW IMPROVED MEN'S PAD FOR 2009
The 13” Ion SL is more comfortable for 2009 with higher density foam. The seamless design uses multi layer bonded technology for the most advanced pad in our line.

WOMEN'S-SPECIFIC PAD
The 10” Diamante pad was created specifically for women. The seamless, multi level, dual density foam construction is perfect for all riding conditions. The ultra soft, antibacterial MircoXfine fabric is also fully perforated for additional breathability.

Not really, but full-zip jerseys are the key. Unzip, hang your jersey on a hook (or if need be hold it in your teeth) and do your business. It doens't take much longer than shorts, with ten times the benefits. If you don't have a full-zip jerseys... it's a royal PITA (hence, I no longer purchase anything without full-zip).

And not an outrageous price.
If you want I'll send you a photo of the chamois
I ordered a bibshort from Boure once and was pleased with their customer service. They will offer to make you a custom-fit tight or short in any way you want, not just length.

Problem was... I hated their bib-short, which simply had straps sewn onto a regular pair of shorts. The whole point of a bibshort is to eliminate the waistband, IMHO. To me, that's like painting a bike pink and calling it WSD. I sent it back.
