I have the Pearl Izumi Quest short and Attack short. I prefer the Quest because it has fewer panels, and therefore fewer seams to irritate my skin. I wear these on my bike and for spin class and haven't ever had any discomfort.
I chose these because I prefer slightly longer bike shorts. A lot of women in spin class wear capris or even really short shorts. I tend to overheat easily indoors, and fear I'd chafe if my inner thighs weren't adequately covered! I'm training for a duathlon and will run and bike in the same clothes, so I put a gel seat (about $17 at Target) on my bike for now. You might try that for another option. Part of the reason I got it is because it's been too cool for shorts and I don't feel like buying cycle leggings, so with the gel seat, I wear running tights. The gel seat feels odd at first, like I can't get in the right spot on it, but it's worked for a couple of rides (7 and 12.5 miles) I've done recently. If possible, try some shorts on at a local store (I went to Dick's Sporting Goods) or order from someplace that has free shipping and returns. Amazon does on some items, and Zappos does on everything.
