I did realize though that I think I had been leaning too far forward on the girly parts when in all actuality I should tilt my hips a bit to shift my weight more towards my sit bones/behind.
I am so glad to hear others are having the same problem as I am. I began riding my stationary bike in February when it was still cold out. I was riding for a better part of on hour every day. My husband and I bought bikes, ( not the most elite, but new nonetheless), and began riding on bike trails approximately a month ago. We try and do at least 10 miles daily before or after work and then the 25+ rides on the weekends. I have bought padded shorts, I have played around with the height and position of my seat, I am constantly repositioning myself, I have purchased a different seat, and I've taken days off in between rides but I still am having the pain problem. It's to the point I want to cry. Not just from the pain, but from the mere frustration. It does feel better after I take a day or two off but I want to find another solution. I saw someone mention some type of cream. What exactly is it and where can you purchase it? I am open to any and all suggestions. I refuse to let the bike seat win.
