Not for those easily offended ;-)

this post involves a few questions about chaffing of the nether regions, under carriage or that part of the body more commonly known as the fanny! Your recommendations and advice on how to avoid such an inconvenience. lol

I have been able to ride quite a bit of late and it doesn't seem to matter what I do but I can't seem to avoid being chaffed! I have tried layering up with 2 thick pairs of apple catchers, waxing, shaving or leaving as god intended . I've used seat savers in sheepskin and suede. ( suede winning so far) and different thicknesses of breeches. But still get that little uncomfortable feeling. Never mind such items as tenna lady, always day/night or ultra, how about something called Equi lady to help us ladies walk in a femine manner!!!

Lol
Try sit on your bum! You seem to be tilting your hip
If you can't get comfy you probably have a "male" saddle, and need one that accommodates for the female anatomy

 

[Jesstickle]

No help I'm afraid but I get blisters on my bum so don't sit down too hard or you'll just get that instead!

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

I have seamless 'shorts' knickers that i get from Tescos - brilliant for riding in

 

[MrsMozartletoe]

Cycling shorts?!

 

[monikirk]

How old are you? You may need some hrt cream!

 

[CeeBee]

Bigger saddle?

I'll second and third these Also much much comfier than the La Senza versions!

 

[Hells Bells]

I agree with the cycling shorts!! You can get some with a nice padded bum too Once went on holiday with other half and did a 4 hour ride, and learnt my lesson well and truly!!

Sorry but pmsl at this one
In answer to the question, you sound like your on your fork instead of your ass
Seamless non vpl knickers from matalan are the berries

 

[MiCsarah]

Big knickers! and be careful where the seams are in the more important areas. Also with seatsavers you need to be careful how big the seam is down the middle. The one I have to ride in at work has a really thick seam and if on a long hack with lots of walking I get a very sore fanny which makes it very uncomfortable for peeing.
No lady pads either, they can rub and be extremely sore!!

 

[mulledwhine]

I do not have any help, other than could you be sitting too deep I'm your seat??

A horrible thing to be happening, but I do not understand how, other than badly fitting clothes, sorry ouch

 

[MrsMozartletoe]

Definitely not a g-string. Really (REALLY!) bad idea on long hacks...

 

[MrsHutt]

These:

I have a few pairs of these, but I got them all in various sales (never paid that much for them)! But they are good for what you want!

Also, after reading 'The Classical Seat' I changed my position and find that I don't have that problem any longer - you need to sit on your seat bones, not the 'fork' (as others have said).

 

[mulledwhine]

"" sore fanny " LOL

 

[Darkly_Dreaming_Dex]

Joggers have similar issues with chaffing - i think they use vaseline

I was about to suggest a g-string!! I can't ride in anything else...

Who rides in G strings? good god that must be like flossing your bum! lol

 

[Dottyfordylan]

I suffered from this on a regular basis I now use the seat saver from horse health with the squidy/sticky side as the side you sit on and it works a treat. AND it's dressage legal

 

[Jesstickle]

Who rides in G strings? good god that must be like flossing your bum! lol

I do. I hate riding in 'big' pants. My bum just seems to eat them and I end up pulling out acres and acres of fabric from up my backside

[emmab13]

What a first time post! But g-strings for every day, nothing at all for hunting! Have yet to find anything that's still comfy after 5 hours, other than nothing!

 

[Jesstickle]

emmab13, nothing? I hadn't thought of that! Hmmm.....


I'm so lady like aren't I?!

 

[AMH]

G-strings for me, although they do have to be on the big side or I get the flossing effect!

I do have one pair of enormous 'riding' pants with a padded gusset (eugh, horrid word) and they're great, but only for winter - they boil me alive in the summer! OH is particularly fond of them (not).

 

[Hells Bells]

Oh this thread has me in stitches! I might try the g string idea, although i might be getting a bit old to rock that one! haha

 

[mulledwhine]

Hated to be the first ... But..

Another for nothing !!!!! Cammando is the best !!! Honestly x

 

[Cuppatea]

g-strings all the way, they only hurt if they dont fit properly.
Cant ride in pants, the edges hurt where i sit and they always end up bunched up inthe wrong place......

 

[Meandtheboys]

I have seamless 'shorts' knickers that i get from Tescos - brilliant for riding in

Me too...............they are fab!!

 

[cob&onion]

Sounds as though you are sitting on the fork.........try riding with your bottom tucked beneath you. Also check your jods don't have a big seam along the crotch, i had a pair of these that i had to chuck also seamless pants are very good.
Good luck! lol
