Best cycling shorts for sweaty ass...

I sweat a lot. I know some of you might think you can relate, but you can't. Nobody here knows me, so I'll go ahead and tell you why. I literally have a sweating disorder. Basically, I suffer from something called "compensatory sweating" which is a side affect of a surgery I had when I was 19 for palmar hyperhydrosis. Look it up. I got it under control 99% of the time. I just use antiperspirant everywhere.

Anyhow, last time I went for a long ride (Phoenix to Tucson) I wore Pearl Izumi shorts. They were my first pair of cycling shorts. My ass got CHAFED. It sucked big time. Before that I had done some long rides. I rode from Tempe to California with a cut off pair of polyester slacks and a Brooks B17. No butt issues at all. Those slacks are long gone, though, and I'd like to find some legit bike shorts that'll work for me.

Any suggestions for bike shorts that are best for a unprecedentedly sweaty person like myself.

Thanks!
