Padless cycle shorts

[RichForrest]

Has anyone got any recomendations for shorts without a pad in.
When riding the recumbent on long rides, there's nothing to hold the pad in place and I find it rubs the top of my legs, which means I'm walking like a cowboy for a week trying to keep my trousers away from the sore bits.

Better quality padded shorts, or unpick them, or runners shorts?  I used to go for unpadded shorts on the bent, but they're actually better padded.  Keeps the tackle warm innit.

I tried two different varieties of running shorts, but they just dint work proper.  So I upgraded from cheapo Decathlon shorts to, er, more expensive ones and al is now Jim, and indeed Bob, Dandy.

I've used cut down bikesters in the past (although generally with
padded undershorts but still..)

I hate that chafing. I get it a lot due to my muscular big thighs

I've used the under shorts that Halfords sell (and still do - I think). In fact, they used to be my cycling shorts until someone pointed out to me that they were (essentially) underpants.

They work though.
