Hey ladies!

Again, thanks so much for all of the insight and inspiration on here!! I've been biking (seriously) for about 4 months now and I'm starting to get the addiction to beat my numbers. haha! But in all of my riding, I've started to notice, especially on the trails, that my bike shorts aren't doing me much good. Not the back, but the front. EEK! No rashes or chaffing, thank God, but when I checked out the padding last night, it seems as if its thicker in the back and thinner in the mid and front area.

Did I just get a bad set of shorts or is there something wrong with my fitting?

I have a hybrid bike - 2010 Schwinn Searcher Expert - and its a good starter bike for my 90% trail riding. I'll be biking approx. 150 trail miles at the end of this summer as a "30 Before 30 List" item that I want to mark off. We'll be doing this over a weekend and camping along the way. Its going to be a blast, and I can't wait, but the girlie parts are less than enthused.

I was hoping that you ladies might be able to lend some thoughts as to: suggested brands/types of biking shorts and/or seat positioning solutions that might be causing this.

Many thanks!
