Chamois Proportions

[DeniseGoldberg]

The short answer is that it depends on the brand.

...We find this is a particular problem for some XS & S size women. For women who really dislike longer chamois (because they come up too far in the front & back) I usually recommend Sugoi shorts.

Well, I'm unhappy that I need to use your advice for buying new shorts - but I am happy that the advice is here! I've been wearing PI Ultrasensor shorts for years (except for the year or two when they changed the design so that the front of the shorts dipped down so low I thought they were going to fall off). I just received a pair of the 2006 Ultrasensor shorts, and they are on their way back to you because the (change in the) chamois just doesn't work for me - way too big, and stiff (doesn't seem to bend, just sticks out)!

It sounds like the Sugoi's are worth a try for me - I hope, hope, hope that they fit!
