Best shorts for the "lady business"

[VeloVT]

OK, I dropped some cash on some Sugoi Formula FX shorts and really do like them a lot. BUT the seem to pinch my "business" occasionally... which I do NOT like a lot.

You know, I recently bought a pair of these shorts (I'm assuming you're talking about the RS Flex short), and I'm really not loving the chamois yet (still holding out hope I might come to like it better). I definitely have the right size. I LOOOOOVE the fabric, and the cut & panel design is terrific. But the chamois -- is just OK for me. This may be in part because my bike setup is pretty aggressive, thus I end up with more pressure "in front", and the chamois is engineered such that the greatest density is actually on the sit bones, and it's substantially thinner in the front. I don't really need the extra padding for my sitbones, both because of my position on the bike and because my sitbones just haven't gotten sore, regardless of how much I ride, since the first two weeks I had the bike, over a year ago. I've only worn these shorts twice, but I find I tend to get a little chafed in front. And actually, more so than with some other thinnish-in-front chamois (like the Castelli Kiss chamois, which I always expect to be uncomfortable after 30 miles or so, but actually isn't).

It's just really hard to predict what's going to work, and it's going to be different for each person, depending on anatomy, bike fit, saddle preference, riding style, and personal likes/dislikes. I could go through a list of the shorts I have, and what I like/dislike about each, but you might try the same shorts and feel totally differently.

Which all ends up being frustrating and very expensive.

Good luck!

Edit: All of that said , I have had very good luck with the Shebeest Shelastic chamois and the Terry Flex Air chamois. I'm also usually fine with PI chamois, don't love them but they don't cause problems for me. I'd like to try the Giordana Forma short (partly because it looks so flattering on the model -- probably wouldn't look like that on me, alas) and the Castelli Visio short (still can't quite stomach $200 for the Free short).
