Maybe Team Estrogen can help you with suggestions on shorts...they helped me with the "help the hips fit but the waist is toooo big" thing. Too bad they don't make shorts that smooooth out the big butt, big hips, big thigh thing....which is me! I would pay big money for those!
Well I am pear shaped, that might account for it- my shoulders, head, boobs(A cup), waist, etc are all pretty small...but then I have wide hips. Waist 31", hips 42". Even the Brooks B17S women's width saddle is a bit too narrow for me, though I ride it. Believe me, the XL shorts are just right, the L were too tight.
The XL SB Ultra D shorts feel good, and nice and snug and supportive all over, but not cutting into me. Nothing is going to shift around down there!
