Anyone own some cycling shorts they can recommend? Having a hard time finding advice for women’s shorts, but I have an idea what I’m looking for after reading some advice for buying men’s.  
I’m interested in something spandex with a comfy crotch area more than padding for the sit bones. I ride a mountain bike but pretty much only ride on pavement. I do about three 40 mile rides a week.  
Im tired of the rubbing of the seams in my sensitive lady area. I sweat a lot too, as long as I’ve already gone TMI.

Try [Titleix.com](http://Titleix.com) and [TerryBicycle.com](http://TerryBicycle.com) - for women sports clothing only. Otherwise, the big shops Performance Cycling and NASHBAR sell for both genders.

I would suggest you check out triathlon shorts, the chamois isn’t so thick or awkward.

I really like [Shebeest](http://www.shebeest.com/) brand stuff. Both their bottoms and tops are cut really well.
