I got myself a shiny new Trek 2.1 back in September, and I have been experimenting with different saddles since then, due to soreness, pinching, and even tearing (!!) of my girly parts. I seem to have found a saddle that works for me now (Terry Butterfly Cromoly Gel), since now it seems pretty obvious that the primary problem is with my bike shorts.

I have a pair of Sugoi Evolution shorts. It seems as though the little "creases" in the chamois are causing pinching in my girly parts. With the new saddle, it's bearable.. but I'd like to see if I can find a pair of less-expensive shorts with a more "plain" chamois (without the channels/flex points) to see if it relieves my issues. I tried a pair of padded briefs under my shorts today, and they were a LOT worse in the pinching department, due to the loose fabric covering the padding becoming bunched up. I had numbness for the first time after today's 27 miles.

Help me! Please!
