I'm new to cycling after 15 or so years of not touching a bike (stationary/exercise bikes excluded) and I took my brand new Specialized Sirrus Elite out for its maiden voyage (just over 10 miles in 45 or so minutes) and have had to take 2 days off from getting back on because my sitting region cringes at getting back on.

I'm looking for a recommendation for a pair of padded shorts/base layer/underwear or something else to ease my body back into this and I'm not looking to spend a fortune. I'd like to avoid completely replacing my seat as I find it fairly comfortable and ergonomically pleasing, but want to ride almost daily rather than every third or fourth to keep my hind quarters in check.

Thanks for any advice!
