I don't usually like to revive an old thread, but I tried the Sheila Moon shorts discussed here They felt great. The fabric felt like a second skin and no chamois discomfort at all. The v-waist could lead to some Britney Spears type mid-riff exposure if you're top is short, but it also didn't pinch at all, even with the extra inches carrying on my waist these days. Definitely worth the price.
