Two tricks. One allows you to wear shorts with the chamois fit, comfort and no wrinkles of good fitting bibs. The other is a trick riders have been using for at least 100 years.

1) Clip on suspenders. (Long ago, high end shorts had buttons for suspenders.) $20 suspenders will outlast a few pairs of shorts, save real money over the identical model bibs and make dealing with bowel movements while in cycling gear much, much easier. The guru of Boston racing 50 years ago was famous for his championing of suspenders. (And not a hack on the bike. '68 Olympics, was one of the very first in the modern era to race in Europe and in a long, hard road race, took second to John Howard, in a two man break, finishing second and also under the old course record.)

2) Bag Balm. A Godsend if you have to ride with sores. (The stuff was formulated for cow teats in the earliest days of mechanical milkers. First gen was so hard on the teats that getting that cow to step up for known torture became an issue. A bright farmer concocted the stuff to keep his cows happy and have milk to sell. The machines rapidly got much better. Leftover balm found its way to the farmers' wives' medical cabinets and they quickly started using it for everything because it worked so well. Especially for baby rash.)

The stuff is a wonderful lubricant so (as long as you use enough - there is no such thing as too much outside the mess) and, I am sure, has some anti-bacterial properties. (I've never seen an analysis but I have used quite a few containers.)

Any old-school pharmacy will have it on the shelves. Comes in a green rectangular can that looks like it came straight out of a Farmers Almanac.
