Did you get a good bike fitting? it may be as simple as saddle height or fore/aft position.

Tri shorts tend to have a pretty minimalist chamois.
So do the Descente Bliss shorts.
I ordered a pair of Sugoi Evolution shorts this summer and sent them back - I don't completely remember why, but I'm pretty sure it was because the chamois was too thick.Speed comes from what you put behind you. - Judi Ketteler

If you ever splurge I got the female cycle skins - oooohhhhh. Like riding in nothing( except for the sausage sort of look, from the tight endie bits. Alas!

I ride without chamois, they just don't feel right. (now that I have a saddle that really fits me -finally!- the chamois has become irrelevant)
I really love the UnderArmour ultra compression shorts. They come in a few lengths, but 2 lengths are really good on the bike: 4 inch and 7 inch inseams. http://www.underarmour.com/shop/us/e...rt/1001226-001
The 4 inch inseam work very well as undies for everyday wear, and the longer ones are toasty warm in the winter.

Terry Club Shorts have only a fleece pad and now come in a 9" length as well as the shorter ones.
Susan, ya listening? I would so get a pair of these. They're only 4-panel, but a minimal chamois means they don't have to have a bazillion panels to avoid chamois rub....Speed comes from what you put behind you. - Judi Ketteler

Thank you for the responses, everyone! I ordered a pair of the Descente Bliss shorts from TE on Saturday (had to get a smartwool order in before the sale ended, of course), so hopefully I like them whenever they show up!
I'll also be looking into the other suggestions here if they don't work out or if I want more options.
Thanks again!
