    another VERY embarrassing question

    Thank god I don't have to look you all in the face when I bring up this topic
    Speaking of chamois cream....I am not sure if it cause this issue or not, but it was my first time using it.
    I having commuted to work on my bike for about a week now, and yesterday I used my new Brave Soldier Friction Zone for the first time (smells great - a little tingly). When I got to work and was getting changed in the locker room, I started having some......ummm......air problems? down there? I guess you could call it queefing?
    Anyone who has dealt with this knows it is completely involuntary. It was happening just from walking, from speaking, from moving (not constant - ok you can all stop laughing now)
    But I have never had this happen except for during/after sex - and twas not the case here.
    Do you think the Brave Soldier caused this? or just the ride in general?
    Hee hee - ok, even THAT question sounded funny.
    I very very hesitantly mentioned the situation to my bf and he couldn't stop laughing. It's funny, yes, but VERY embarassing - and hard to really clarify where that noise just came from.
    UGHGHGHGGGHHH!

    Holy cr*p!! It's never done that to me!!! You could _hear_ it??? I've never heard of that happening except under the obvious circumstances. Maybe Lise would know more...

    No need to be embarrassed here, really. Everyone here is really awesome.

    I use that stuff too, (Nanci's great recommendation), and that hasn't happened to me either. ....tingly , yes it is!

    Has to be the ride, I would think....

    I'd be interested to here in what Lise might say.

    Have a great day!

    Was the Friction Zone washed off before it happened? Could you have had a LOT of FZ trapping air between the lips and gotten air trapped, somehow, so not really coming from up in there???

    OMG - I don't know. I really only put it at the crease of my leg. The tingly part kinda scares me a bit - think it might burn instead of tingle on certain intimate spaces.
    It must've been the ride - like I said it's never happened before outside of the bedroom.
    boy oh boy oh boy.

    Cheri, here's a thought:
    Usually, if you do get any air in there somehow due to strenuous moving and a vacuum effect, I would think the air could come out without too much noise due to the hairs in the area preventing a seal from forming. Perhaps the cream stuff formed a seal of the outer lips, which caused the air make noise as it escaped.
    Our "fur" normally keeps the lips from forming an airtight seal- but an ointment might create a seal despite it.
    Maybe you should try applying less ointment, and applying it to the chamois instead of directly on you? Just a thought....
    Obviously, also try riding without the creme and see if is still happens. Or maybe a bit of talc instead?
