I find funny phrases online sometimes.
"Special Female Crotch is guaranteed to please"
what?!

*giggles* I know exactly what you are talking about because I was looking at the crotch pants just a few days ago too! I was going to buy some--but I decided on a padded gel seat instead--I love it!

When I read that sentence, I thought it was an ad for a fake youknowwhat.

i can' take those padded seat on longer rides. pressure in the wrong areas! if you have an ergonomic seat you just need some good shorts and assos cream. unfortunately, i have neither. i have some shorts... but they are crap ones... i hate buying things, though. i am seriously searching all over for everything. i need different shoes than i have, too, and i am thinking about going for the cycling sandals because the shoes were killer for my semi-recently broken toe. ::sighs::: i hate spending money but i keep reminding myself this is an investment and i will be (hopefully) using this stuff for a long time.

Yeah--I hear you! The seat is ok for me--up to about 15-20 miles, then it does get a little useless--especially if I get off for a few minutes then back on I am all *OUCH*! But like you--I am trying not to buy anything--I found the padded pants cheap on a couple websites--but they seemed so shady and I didn't really trust them to give them my credit #'s! Plus the prices were a little too good to be true! Have you looked at amazon--I did find several pairs on there--you might find something you like.

those are the exact shorts i just ordered! i HATE long tight shorts so i went for something that says short. everything is always longer on me, too, because i am short. and yes, i love wearing bike shorts under skirts, so i am happy you have a good experience with them. mine were $40, i think, at REI, but i am also a memeber so i will get the 10% discount. the ones i currently have (well, i have two) were both cheap-o pairs so i will be glad to be getting pearl-izumi.
i really hate buying all this crap, though. i am FINALLY buying new shoes because my sneakers are totally worn-out (huge holes in them, no support, etc.) and have thousands of running miles on them (i have had them for 4 years and for at least one of those years i ran 10 miles a day). i am getting those vibram five finger ones and am super excited about them. i am planning on bringing only those and cycling sandals (with spd cleat) on my tour. i also am buying assos butt cream stuff so i don't get saddle sores (hopefully). that is the best/most expensive brand... but it's vegan! so that's good. would you guys like to know more about all of my recent purchases? because i like how i am rambling about them ::) ;D
