This link above goes to my favorite chamois pad (diamante by Voler).

They unfortunately stopped making the pad in the shorts fabric I like the best *sigh*. Hate it when that happens. Tho the shorts they come in is fair.

For me, my sitz bones are wider than average. So this fits the bill. However the pad is not too thick, or too thin. It's narrow in the middle for no chaffing. Yet longer vertical length to wrap enough around up front on the pubic bone area for more riding in the drops comfort.

Unfortunately, TE does not carry any shorts with this pad. Terry had it one of their shorts. The Team Short a couple years ago. That is how I found it.

Terry shorts were not wide or long enough for me in the chamois. Same with Sheebeast. Pearl Izumis orange pad 3D elite is not bad, little bit vertacally short for me, compared to my fav (here on TE link http://www.teamestrogen.com/prodPI_11211117.html).

If you don't know this, you also want to make sure your shorts are tightly fitted. Anything loose will also bunch and cause a raw skin spot later.

Also personally, I would never buy anything other than black...as it's the only color that does not turn see thru when it's wet with sweat.

Happy Shopping!

p.s. ooops another consideration to compare... seams... in the leg center if there is not a straight up and down seam, like a pants seam, sometimes that's better- as the seam can be felt while riding and get irritating... and smooth flat lock sewn down seams are better than traditional sewn ones, for the same reason.
