I usually wear Terry Bella shorts, but I decided to try the Shebeest SSS that are on sale here. I like thick lycra and a lower waist, so I thought these might work. They do fit perfectly and I particularly like the grippers. The chamois feels right when I'm just walking around, but yesterday I wore them for a 30 minute interval work out on the trainer. It felt like the padding was a bit thin (?). The diameter was good, but it just felt a little raw. I am witholding judgement until I wear them out on the road, because on the trainer, I don't feel the same about much!
As far as the chamois still being wet, I notice there is a big difference in the drying rate among the different shorts my husband has and some of mine. We each have at least one kind that takes longer to dry. Are you hanging them up inside out? That helps.
