If you look at the chamois of bike shorts it looks like the triangular area (behind the perineal) corresponds to the triangular shape of the saddle. However when I wear my bike shorts, my sit bones, which align perfectly on the saddle, don't align in the shorts. Most of the cushioning area rests above the saddle on the top-back of my butt not doing my sit bones much good. I've tried pull the shorts from the front to pull the wide part of the chamois more forward, however within a few minutes of riding, it's right back to wear it was.
Is there a trick to wearing bike shorts I'm not aware of? I wear the best bike short bibs I can afford. I have noticed the pros seem to have their entire front "package" protected with the chamois (at least that's what it appears like). I can only do this if I raise the shorts very high up my thighs as to gather more fabric to pull upward.
I do have a small boney butt. Could this be the problem? Shorts are made for riders with more average sized butts (bigger than mine)?
I'd like to get to the "bottom" of this problem.
