I’m familiar with that post. The tilt limits on the Bontrager aren’t any more or less than other seatposts. The old clamp type seatpost allows for more tilt but what the Bontrager allows for is fairly normal. Even then, the downward or upward tilt on either is fairly large.

I am wearing padded bike underwear as underwear. It does help.[/QUOTE]

As squirtdad pointed out, padded shorts are different from underwear. Anything you wear over the padded underwear may be bunched up in a bad place. Bike shorts without anything over them (or under them for that matter) are smooth where then need to be.

After your last post I'm taking a look at seat height. I do think this got worse when I raised my seat.
There you go. Lower your saddle a little (a few millimeters is enough) and go ride. Lower it a little more if that doesn’t work.
