Well I wore my Terry Spinnaker knickers in a swimming pool last year, with a supportive black tank top...why the heck not? They have a very thin chamois pad that adds modesty without bulk. They end at just below the knee. I don't own any bathing suits anyhow. Don't want to shave or fuss. I felt like one of those 1910 bathing beauties. It was fun!

IMHO: People at the gym who have time to worry about what you're wearing are NOT busy enough exercising.
Of course, that's not to say that I haven't on occasion decided this or that outfit over-accentuated some flaw that I didn't want to go around flaunting at the gym. But still.

Well, first, I need to investigate more types of shorts. I have found my PIs VERY comfortable for the bike, but the chamois is huge. The times I have worn them on the treadmill, etc, I do feel a little bit diapered!
Really, rather than a flaw to cover, I was sort of thinking about reducing the risk of, well, I'll just come out and say it, camel toes!

Camel toes? I've never heard of them (other than those on a live camel).
What are they?

Starfish,

I have and like both of these.
The chamois is there, and would provide coverage, but is very thin and flexible. I think the Nirvana short (no leg grippers) and their skort also have this chamois.

Yeah, I'm so over how I look in cycling shorts.
Since the meeting point for club rides is 20 miles from my home, I usually drive there and back. At first I was a little uncomfortable getting out of my car to run my post-ride errands, still wearing my cycling clothes. Then I figured I was better off doing that, than getting out of my car all sweaty and stinky, *without* an obvious clue as to how I'd gotten that way
