Started a new problem lately - shorts bunching up in the area between the thighs and junk on any bike ride or trainer session > 60 min. The fabric seems to gather there, then starts chafing away, and I keep having to take "coast breaks" to re-arrange. The re-arrangement that feels most helpful is to pull down on the lower hem of the shorts - as if the shorts started out at mid-thigh or lower, then started creeping upwards. They don't stay re-arranged for very long, and I have to take more and more frequent re-arrangement breaks.
This happens with multiple different shorts. An older, more worn pair of 2XU tri pants that never gave me problems before, and a new pair of basically the same shorts. Also, and very expensively, this is happening with my new HUUB one piece tri suit that I otherwise like very much. When I wear regular bike shorts rather than tri shorts, the problem is much worse. Only happens on my tri bike - on my commuter/rando/tourer/roadie bike, I can wear just about anything and this does not happen.
One possible contributor: I'm prone to fairly wild weight swings. I have been up, now heading down.
Anyone have any suggestions or tips or work-arounds?
A favorite brand/product that is not prone to this problem?
