    well... I have quite large thighs and the Canari shorts work the best for me... I run into this problem too, as I am bottom heavy and those leg grippers feel like they're choking off all circulation sometimes... I actually just went to my LBS and asked them to order me 2 more pair of the Canari's because I like them better than any others I have found yet...
    There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness".

    Boy I am on this exact topic, too!

    My cure for the sausage thing is to wear terry knickers all the time except the hottest days, they are made of dryline and are not hot at all. BUT--I have shrunk down to regular sizes and they only make them with this Ga-Gunga chamois I can't stand.

    Don't know what to do. Am considering trying the new Terry elastic chamois, in the longer version.

    I have these gross fat knee globs that just won't go away. : (
    Crediamo in te, bici!

    Try Boure knickers. They're a little longer than other knickers but have no elastic grippers at all.

    what not to get

    i saw a lady with decent legs, not overweight, but not real muscular either.
    she was wearing the castelli shorts with the red band at the bottom.
    the band makes the legs look, well, michelin-like.
    accentuates what MIGHT be there.
