Recommendations please but not too expensive, must be available online (I live in france) I think after 3 years my muddy fox shorts need replacing. I had to cut short my ride this morning as my poor little nunu was hurting lol

    Fox, Sugoi and Pearl Izumi (I have several daughters).

    Or go to decathlon in France to look at different models.

    If you are hurting, consider that the seat level or position is probably wrong. The tailbone should sit towards the back of the seat and take the weight. If the rest tilt is too high, you get front pressure, if the seat angle is too low or seat is too back, you'll slide forward and but more pressure on the front.

    Check out the series from BicycleLab

    It might be more related to your seat, than the shorts.

    Bonne Route!

    These are all good suggestions (Sugoi is my favourite but I am a man though...)

    I'm pretty sure Wiggle ship to France so you could check out their DHB range which is competitively priced.

    Castelli is by far my favorite, and while they are available on line, most people wouldn't put them in the inexpensive category.

    I also like Craft and Mavic for mid-level options. Pearl Izumi makes some pretty good stuff at more of an entry level price.

    I bought some B Twin ones from Decathlon at the weekend due to having left my bib shorts back in England. Cheap and cheerful but it depends whether you want bib shorts or not (I much prefer them as they stay up and you don't need to worry about there being a gap between shorts and top at the back, if you see what I mean).

    My Rapha ladies bib shorts are pretty comfy...

    Wiggle, Bike24, ChainReaction all ship to France without issue (I've bought and had stuff sent there).

    I need to find a new pair ... or two or three. My favourites aren't made anymore and the ones in my drawer are too big.
