Thick or thin chamois?

Nobody is addressing the issue of how much padding you have on your saddle to begin with. This is very relevant.

I have more than enough padding on my rear, which makes up for any lack of padding on a saddle .

I like the SheBeest chamois in my new shorts best of all I've tried so far. It's "just right" -- neither so thick nor so thin that it bunches up, welded in just the right places to follow form and keep the padding where I need it. If I ever do a multiday ride, I'll have to buy more of these shorts!

But for my short commute ride, I don't wear bike clothes at all, just my ordinary work clothes (and tote an extra t-shirt to change to) + bike shoes, gloves, and helmet.
