    have one pair of Pearl Izumi symphony shorts that has mesh in the sides. They were great at first but the mesh did not lend good integrity to the fabric and it stretched and made the chafing really bad.

    I have 2 pairs of those dumb things...the Symphony Cut (the shorter version). By the end of Summer they were totally stretched out and baggy. I never equated that issue to the chafing I started getting, but it makes sense.

    I just bought cycle knickers from Team Estrogen and I love them!!!! I was using my hubby's cycle shorts and they work fine, but I wanted some that were more my style.
    I bought a Canari Women's jersey in pale blue and Terry Women's knickers Plus.

    They are both worth the investment. I haven't bought any chamois cream, but I think I will do that this week. I have been doing 20 mile rides the last 2 weeks and I think I need to look into it. I am also going to replace my (padded-wide butt) saddle with something different. I have a more upright mountain bike and I need to get something that's not causing issues down there.
