Not for those easily offended ;-)

Another commando..... But then I only wear knickers when my partner is going to be late home from work and they are only there to be removed lol
 
Well I reckon if I wax away that little tuft of god given hair, use some talcum powder, go o commando ( with seemless breeches) and lift my fanny off the saddle, I might be able to stop the chaffing.......psml

Only a tiny bit embarassing when you get taken to hospital with a broken pelvis, and you have to tell the nurse who is about to cut your breeches off.
"I'm really sorry, but just so you know, I've got no knickers on"

OMD i am wetting myself here thats hillarious, thankfully when i broke my pelvis i didnt have to have my johds cut off lol
 
LOL - great thread :D

I find if I wear underwear which is of a more silk like material I dont get chaffe - if I wear cotton I chaffe.
 
This thread is hilarious! I have to say, never encountered this problem myself but I once wore some 'boy short' style pants for a days hunting, they resolutely rolled up and I had a chronic wedgie all day (first thing I did when I got back to the trailer was throw my reins at my mum, leap into the box and take the blasted things off), and I sported quite a sore bum for the next few days!
 
What can I say about the g-string, other than some are okay and some really (really, really, really!) aren't :eek:

Ouch.

Commando.

Hm.

I used to make sure legs 'n' bits were shaved, lingerie was matching, socks clean and matched the under ensemble... Not that I was convinced I was going to come off the Dizzy one everytime I rode her you understand :rolleyes:.

Maybe one of these days I'll be relaxed enough on the daft ginger one to try commando... :cool:
 
i think your saddle is prob more at fault than your underwear!
seriously, some saddles are really hard and absolutely cripple me, but in any of mine i can ride for hours in ANY undies (thong, tangas, briefs, big no-VPL pants, whatever) and none make any difference. it's the padding under the seat of the saddle that matters, not the underwear...
other than that, i'd make sure you are sitting with your pelvis upright (seam on side of breeches should be absolutely vertical) not on your fork though.

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

This, in spades. When I was new to riding, the pain was obscene. I used Canesten (oh......my......God, the sheer relief!) I did two days Western riding in Yorkshire and I cried. :o

You will harden up (ooh, sounds horrible, you just get used to it). Sit back, off your fork.

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 :eek: :o

Me too! We have an endless debate about this at our all-female yard. Half opt for Sloggis but some of us swear by thongs! Cheap cotton ones are the best option.

This Probably sounds a stupid question to most of you but what is your "fork"?!
Click to expand...

your 'fork' is your, umm, front bits! basically the part of yourself that a man cannot sit on without being in agony! (i was told yonks ago by a good trainer that this is why most men have a naturally better seat on a horse than most women - men HAVE to sit with pelvis upright at least, women don't...)
your 'seat' should be balanced evenly over 3 points, i.e. your 2 seat bones and your fork. if you have all your weight on the front you'll lean forwards, be insecure and ineffective, and be more likely to get chafing!
the best image is to think of sitting on your gusset, i think...
 
Would never go commando! most of my flys on my jods come down constantly! I dont mind flashing my knickers at people but not so they can see whether im shaved or not!!

^^^^^this^^^^^^

Thongs only for me too, my rump is far to hungry and eats up big pants.

It's ever so embarrassing when out hacking knowing a a car is coming and i'm stood up on stirrups with my hand down the back of my jeans rearranging my apple catchers! :o
 
I’m sorry for laughing but you have a way with words lol :D, sorry I can't give any other useful input other than what others have already suggested but if it makes you feel better, I’ve suffered on many occasion as well with the dreaded fanny chaff, although I’ve not always found out which item of clothing has actually caused it, think it’s a mixture of time spent in the saddle on a daily basis, what you wear and getting a little sweaty down below :o, have you tried a seat saver like the heather moffet one, perhaps it could help. :)

There must be something anatomically wierd about me....because in 30+ years of riding ( not continuously obviously) I've never had any form of chaffing whatsoever:confused:

I'm up to 26 years and only had it a coupleof times from wrong pants! Need to apply sudocrem for a couple of days while this resolves itself in correct pants though!
