As above really, why all of a sudden do my nether regions get rubbed. First it was my backside, now its my front bits. Its driving me mad and sore :o:o:o Nothings changed apartt from Ive put a few pounds on but nothing major.
Tried a seat saver today, helped the backside a bit but not the fro nt. Im wearing full seat breaches now as at first I found that helped, so the next things gonna be padded knickers :D:cool::cool: and of course try to shift the weight.
Any big knicker reccomendations????
 
:D:D
Was hoping the weight was prob the answer.
Still waiting for the age factor, as in everything is starting to go south! Yuk :eek:
 
Lanacane and cycling shorts ? And (dare I say it).......a tena pad or similar ??? :eek:

I found I got rubbed behind cos my saddle was actually too small for my a***, which was a simple answer, but one I never sussed in many years. Now I have a new bigger saddle (inadvertantly cos I couldn't remeber the size of the other one) I don't have to wear cycling shorts or use a seat saver.

You have my deepest sympathy ! sm x
 
Thanks :)
I struggled getting a saddle to fit as my horse although 16.2hh is very short coupled and couldnt have anything bigger than a 17 inch. Saddler said I needed a 17.5 inch ideally, so we compromised with a 17 inch with a sweeping back to give me a bit more room. Half inch doesnt seem a lot but when my saddle went to be flocked I did use a friends bigger saddle and it was amazing the difference. I need to get rid of this extra weight, its not loads, about half a stone but must be making a massive difference. :(

Comfy rumps are amazing you can order them from Robinsons, Rideaway, Derby House etc.
 
Ouch! The only time I have ver had that problem was a few months back during my miscarriage and that was so painful....infact the rubbing caused me more issues than the miscarriage so I had to stop riding until I finished.....
 
Ah Louby. I sympathise. I get blisters on my bottom occasionaly. Usually in other peoples saddles but if I wear the wrong pants even in my own (huge, flat seated, super comfy) saddle! It hurts and my OH finds it hilarious. This is so embaressing but if I know I'm riding someone elses horse whos tack does it to me I use micropore tape on my behind to stop it happening. Don't tell anyone I said all this though!
 
howengold, sorry to hear about your miscarriage. I feel like not riding too at the mo, its so uncomfortable. Its wierd as Ive had the same horse and saddle for 8 yrs and Ive had the bum rub earlier in the year but now its both. Ive not put that much weight on. My back is sore at the mo too so maybe Im riding different. God I sound like such a moaner :)

jesstickle, micropore tape :D, tell me more, I'll try anything :D
 
I've had problems as well, at the rear. Pants without seams on the gusset do the trick for me. M&S used to do fab ones but they've stopped them now and I'm down to my last two pairs. I'm gutted and can't find any as good. Sticky bum jods seem to help as well as they don't move in the saddle and cause friction.

Well (I'm going a bit red now I'm writing this) basically I get blisters between my cheeks so what I do is just stick micropore down my a**e crack on both sides. How horrifyingly shameful is that?! Works for me though :D
 
Hmm maybe not the weight thing. Ive put on and lost stones - all in a 16.5" saddle. Never had any rubbing or discomfort.


Maybe dont ride in cotton or similar knickers. I always wear lycra mix shorts, super comfy and never get a chance to rub :)

Thanks, I think the front rub :o could be due to my jods being too tight and the seam rubbing where it shouldnt, the bum bit, well, who knows.
Ive loads to go at now thanks to you all.
New knickers or shorts, creams, weight loss and of course the micropore tape. Failing that, cosmetic surgery :eek::D
