We ride pretty much upright, it's not a road bike.
I'm not a skinny girl, looking for a Large bike short.
I am also the stoker on a Tandem (All Male Team) and there is no difference between Road- MTB and Tandem shorts. What there is though is that Woman Specific clothing. Womans shorts are made differently to mens with a different liner.

Don't know how long you have been riding so hopefully you realise that the Butt has to get attuned to the saddle. If you just got the Brooks- then you will have to spend a bit of time wearing it in so bear that in mind.

Tight Lycra shorts work. I know they may accentuate a few bulges and some are embarrassed by the tightness but they do work. If you are embarrassed- wear a pair of unlined cycling Tights over the shorts

And- without getting personal- Go commando.
