Tricks for keeping the 'bits' happy

[SpinSpinSugar]

The Girly Bits I mean! This season I have learned a few tricks for keeping my girly bits happy on the bike for long rides besides the normal stuff we all know like bike fit and tight shorts. I haven't seen some of these posted before so I thought I'd share what works for me. Hopefully this will help some of you too!:

#1 - most important - AZO UTI relief pills. Take 2-4 immediately before the ride, and take again if the ride is more than 4 hours long. Available over the counter at nearly any drug store, Target, Walmart, etc. It stops any pain/burning/etc before it even starts. I can't say enough how this has been a miracle for me.. http://www.azoproducts.com/products/azo_standard

#2 - AZO Yeast Tablets - Take 2 the day before the ride and again 2 the morning of - Preventative measures are the best cure - Available over the counter at most drug stores, Target, Walmart, etc. http://www.azoproducts.com/products/azo_yeast

#3 - Do not shave for at least 3 days before a ride. Even the panty-line. Helps prevent chafing

#4 - Tuck up! - yes, shove those bits as high up inside as you possibly can - nothing worse than "feeling the pinch"

#5 - Use the most dry, sticky lube you can find, and use it everywhere but the edges of the labia. (or else those bits will slide back out!)

Please feel free to add to this list ladies. I'd love to know how you stay comfortable in the saddle.

EDIT: Allow me to add that I have a lot of '''uummm''' soft tissue down there.. so this may not be helpful or necessary for everyone - but if you read this and go -"A-HA!" then you may be in the same well-endowed group that I am in..
