I'm more average than small: 5'4" and wishing I was 115... Anyway, I love my pearl izumi sugar short. The padding is quite minimal. The inseam is short though. Still, 5 inches should be enough for a 5'1" person I would think.

I'm 5'1" and a size 0/kids 14. I like the trashy cat shorts. The chamois is not too long, approx. 10" and is narrow but not as minamilist as the sheebest hourglass, also sugoi have a shorter chamois. I found the PI chamois too long, also the performance ultra chamois which covers half my butt.
You might want to call TE. They were really helpful measuring chamois lengths and widths for me; they also suggested I might want to try the giordana shorts or the hincapie (velo bella) shorts.
My lbs trys to stock xs and has no problem ordering a pair of nike dristyle short in xs for me to try with no obligation to buy, as the owners wife wears xs. I'll report back on how they fit.
