Do you find this slimming?

That's ok though because I love the chamois and that's more important to me.

No kidding. Function first. Besides, so long as when you're wearing them, you're putting miles on your bike, they look great. You're active, taking care of yourself, havin' fun ... of course they and especially *you* look good.

I think that stitches are great. I have a pair of Assos short which I absolutely love. They have excellent padding that lasts for a century ride. They are short, which I also prefer. But the best part about them, they are red, but the butt part is black. And it is definitely slimming!

slimming? sheesh like you need help with the slimming lenusik.

[Lenusik]

Oh common, I certainly don't like to wear certain short. No PI for me. The do not look good at all - or i don't look good at all in them. It looks like a have diaper all over my rear end.

I know, I know. That's why I am sending a last year's photo. I am still in the same shape but I will get funny looking pretty soon.

Here are the castelli shorts I was talking about! Look at the waistband - aren't these the sexiest shorts you've evern seen (at least on this model?).

I can't believe how excited these shorts have gotten me, lol. But I can't justify forking over $150 for shorts right now either, so I dream...

L - love the red/black assos shorts too. Can't wait to see how the baby belly looks in them - I bet you'll look adorabel!

Oh, what a dork - TE sold these on ebay! Susan, do you have any more hiding in the closet???

Unfortunately Assos does not make maternity shorts. Their regular are already $160. Imagine how much they would charge for the maternity ones.

Whoo boy! No kidding. I think maybe one shouldn't gain 75 pounds when pregnant. Not that I am speaking from experience or anything. And she's what, 10? And I still have about 10 of those pounds on me....

I wonder if bike shorts work like panties when you're pregnant- you can just continue to wear your old ones, under your belly!!

They make maternity shorts, though, don't they? I swear I've seen them. I mean, generic they, not Assos.

Terry makes them TE sells them http://www.teamestrogen.com/products.asp?pID=14019

[Lenusik]

Yes, terry has maternity ones but not Assos. This makes me unhappy because their padding is great.
