Ok, thanks for all the feedback. Having read this, I've been concentrating hard on getting up high over the saddle before settling down and haven't hung up lately. Honestly, all joking aside, I'm a very clumsy person so this is embarrassing and annoying all at the same time. The shorts definitely fit (the same ones that are in my profile photo), they are not too big. I just need to learn better.
Also, I tried the sugar shorts but being short waisted, they pretty much come up under my boobs (oh SO attractive!) and also kind of bag on my butt. Not sure why they fit me so weird.
There was a suggestion for some types/brands in another thread I posted, so I do intend to try a thinner pad to see how I feel.
I get to have pizza after this, right? No...wait...cheesecake....
