Hey Everyone, I need some advice. I'm new to riding and enjoy it thoroughly. However, I get a lot of pain "down there" in the femine region. Sometimes it's so bad that I can't sit on my seat after only 20 or so miles.
I've switched to a seat that has gel padding in the front and my husband is suggesting that I lube-up with a bunch of bag-balm before I ride. However, those two things aren't helping that much.
Do you ladies have any suggestions???
Thanks,
Heather
there are a lot of variables involved in solving this. don't get frustrated, just eliminate the possibilities and you'll figure out a solution.
first, search the old posts. this is a very common problem, and has probably been addresses dozens of times in old threads.
second, to sum it up, it's probably one of three things: bad saddle for your particular anatomy; bad seat positioning; bad shorts. there are loads of threads about saddles in old threads, so i won't get into it. check them out and if you still have questions, post again.
we've all had this problem. every time you buy new shorts, get a different saddle, or change the positon of our saddle, you go through it again. you shouldn't have to suffer to bike, so don't give up until your 'parts' are happy!:p
several thread in the tips n trick, and saddles sections
