Whats happenning to me, rubbed bits!!

[wonkey_donkey]

Get yourself a Heather Moffett seat saver, they work a treat on all bits !

 

[Shysmum]

but I had one of those, and it just made the saddle seat area smaller, so I rubbed more !! If that makes any sense.

This issue is close to my heart, as I used to get what were like bed sores between the cheeks.

so what I do is just stick micropore down my a**e crack on both sides. D

Lovely post Louby! Try Nappy Rash cream/lotion on the sore parts.... it does help... and when its healed ... the Vaseline.

 

[Jesstickle]

Well I'm glad you all find my misery so amusing! Hehe. Stupid big bum!

I second a Heather Moffat - perhaps once the sores have healed/redness reduced you could try borrowing one to see if it helps . My problem was bruising on my seat bones zand sometimes the bruised areas would chaffe. It was worse with thin jods or nickers with seams or if I rode a lot/erratic sitting trot etc.

I cant work out how I can have a big fat butt, but still have bony seat bones!!!

Get a WOW saddle !! lol !! You can buy panels to fit your horses and a seat to fit your bum them put the 2 bits together and voila !

Simples !!

Get a WESTERN saddle they are so comfy. I have not experienced any problems since riding western. And I am not the slimmest of people - especially round the rear! I don't ride in jeans I have a favourite pair of black 'Bridleways' jods which are lovely and stretchy - which reminds me I must go get another pair.
I have two American horses both very different shapes and sizes and each have their own saddle. One saddle was mega expensive, made to measure, the other was from EBay (though a good make from the USA). Actually the EBay one is slightly more comfortable (typical). I have more problems driving (a car) for hours in the heat of summer!

Erm, I suffer this problem Have tried seat-savers, padded pants AND have lost two stone... all to no avail, still get sore at the front, but never used to a few years ago. Now I'm wondering whether it's because I'm a little.... er.... over-zealous with the hair removal and perhaps that provides a bit more of a buffer zone... OMG!! I can't believe I'm typing this on here!!!

 

[Shysmum]

yup hair removal will do it (shuffles off in shame)

 

[debsflo]

i would recomend a heather moffett seat saver too very comfey

 

[amage]

Was just about to suggest hair removal issues. exfoliation helps! and make sure underwear is pure cotton

I am dyslexic and read that as "rubbish bits"! I thought oh love bet their not as bad as you think!!

I'm not dyslexic, but I read it like that too!!
