    Today I noticed that when I wear plain ol' jeans, my girl bits feel more protected. My cycle shorts just have a thin chamois. I wonder if there are shorts out there that offer better protection without adding bulk?

    What kind of shorts are you using? So far I am a PI gal and there seems to be plenty of protection without too much bulk. I do notice a little more bulk with my PI baggy shorts than I do the regular shorts.

    Jez, are you using a lube of some sort? I find my girly bits get uncomfortable unless I use soemthing. Doesn't have to be anything fancy, either. I just use some hypo-allergenic plain unscented hand lotion. Lasts for several hours and washes out well because it's water based, not greasy. Try doing that, I bet it will help a lot.

    Once you go Brooks, you don't go back.

    Not true! I ditched Brooks after riding them for 7 years. Turns out they were actually too wide for me.

    I ditched the Brooks, too. In fact, I hated it. My azz hurt all of the time, even after months. I am happily riding a Terry Falcon X on all 3 of my bikes.

    Oh, fine, ruin my newly-minted catchy phrase.
