Oh boy..
shorts. A lot of us started on Performance shorts.

If those work for you great. As I started to do longer distance I need something different. At that point you literally have dozens of choices.
Some will work for you and some won't.
This is what I like

They don't actually have a pad but imitate the way an old fashioned leather chamois worked.

I hate to admit it but I find these more comfortable than my expensive P.I. shorts:

Catch them on a good sale and you can get two pair for a Ben Franklin.

I like Procyclegear.com for bargains on top quality gear. The downside is they are all in team colors if you're not into that. I bought a pair of bibs there last year and they were top of the line Descente for 40 bucks.

Giordana Silverline, best bibs or shorts under $100.
