It is humid here plus I sweat a lot.
My problem is excessive sweating that a. has given me saddle sore pimple things and b. the front of my shorts get wet because I ride a lot on the low bars and there is too much pants and chamois fabric and it bunches up.
So I need soft, non chafing, minimal chamois low cut but not short leg nor sausage let shorts. I am medium size and wear size 6 pants. I have spent so much money paying for shipping for shorts I have sent back in the last 2 months. It could pay for a good pair of shorts.I'd be willing to alter the front waist to achieve the lower cut, but beyond that, does anyone have any advice? Even non-shorts related saddle area advice would be appreciated.
I went to the doctor before a week long tour as I worried I'd be in agony and get an infection from one of those pimply things that I never had in all my years of biking. He told me he could give me an antibiotic, but then I'd get a yeast infection which would be worse on a 450 mile ride. I do try to practice good hygene, but I seem to get a new pimple thing on a 'monthly' basis.
Anybody know how to beat this problem? :confused:
