As a midwife, I can see that this could be a problem for some women. If you get frequent yeast infections, for example. I don't, and that boil on my butt hurts so much that I'm willing to try something new! To each her own, and don't forget to wash well with soap after the ride, as always, and wash the goop out of the shorts. Could take a couple of times through the washer with warm water. To each her own--you know your body--do what works for you.

I would be putting this mostly on my gluteal folds, where I get the infection/boil. I think I'd avoid the ...um... central area. I would put chamois butter there, because it hurts to ride with that area un-lubed. So that would help--the petroleum jelly wouldn't be so close to the inner parts.
