Another vote for Shebeest. I have horrible chafing issues in the same spot and I have tried a ton of shorts. Shebeest are the bomb. I actually even like riding long in their tri shorts. That and, for me, to have them basically painted on (i.e. tight) helps a ton. No bunching. 
I found Tendskin which is at ultra or sephora really helped my razor burn- although burns like heck when you first put it on- I think the base of it is a salicylic acid which keeps in growns from coming in- works for me. I love to wax but since I swim so much I canāt figure out how that is suppose to work- I donāt want to take 1-2 weeks off to let it grow however long it needs to grow. I would love Laser but way too expensive for me. Well speaking of ridingā¦just did an emergency visit to the ped doc to see if my 4 year old had the flu- no flu but something just as contagious- soooo Iām getting on my bike to boost my immune system while at the same time playing nurse, and then going to school for some assembly for the other kidsā¦But I am getting this bike in if its the last thing I do!!! Have a great day all!
I love love love my Zoot ultra tri shorts! Favorite pair of shorts I own, and I have lots. I wear them on my road bike for 3+ hour rides no probleM. I donāt ride much past 3:30 so I canāt speakk og longer rides than that. and a BIG YES to the shaving. It makes a huge difference. That and chamois butār I think make is just as important as the shorts IMHO.
I do want to try the De Soto shorts too, I hear such great things and they look super cute.
I looked these up online and noticed they are pretty long. Can anyone recommend a long-distance tri short that is shorter in length and low-rise? I ask for a lot, I know.
I have the DeSoto low-rise short (ooh they are tiny! and cute!), but it doesnāt seem to be a very good long-distance product.
Cathy: Thank you so much for that post! I just got my very first brand new tri bike and was about to go out and buy a bunch of new PI microsensors! I think Iāll try out what I have first to see if itās too much.
Thanks again
Interestingā¦ I never thought of the fact that cycling shorts in aero contribute to my problemā¦ hmmā¦
Iām going to second the recommendation for BikiniZone gel/creamā¦ both as a post-landscaping soother AND a pre-ride balm. I use the version with added Lidocaine prior to big ridesā¦ I even bring a tube along on centuries to sooth trouble spots. Numbs things right up!
You can find it for ~~$6-6.50 a tube at Target, drugstores, etc. WELL WORTH IT!!

I wear tri shortsāDescente short shorts. I love them. I also just bought assos cremeāwow! That makes a difference!
I donāt know about shaving. Iāve heard it helps. Does anyone wax? I was thinking about it for the summer ride season.
Hmmm. I, too, love my Zoot Ultra tri shorts but I donāt find them long at all. They ARE slightly longer than my DeSotos (which I also love), but those are SUPER short.
