About ten years ago I had a few Bartholin's Cysts. They never caused me so much trouble that I had to go to the doc, but I found out what they were because a friend had one that was much worse.

So I just started cycling this week -- and reading this topic made me realize I know nothing about how to reduce friction and irritation, etc.

Please, info?

Thanks so much!
