Been there - have had 'em and it aint pretty!!!! Towards the end of a 5 day ride I was acually wearing two pairs of bike shorts... one with a slight pad and a second one with a bit thicker pad - VERY painful! My savior has been Pearl Izumi shorts, they're expensive, but well worth the money. I was lucky, the owner of our bike shop is a former pro rider and she made me try them on at the store and she checked the fit. They made all the difference and for longer rides, again not pretty, but butt balm (reapplied after any potty breaks) keeps things happy down there. Good luck and I hope you find your solution!
