    I would recommend getting Astroglide for your lady parts. It is available in almost any pharmacy as it is used for a lubricant for, well, um, er, the "funky monkey dance" . That coupled with chamois butter should get you slicked up and riding fine. If not, try moving your saddle a bit.

    And if that doesn't stop the pain, then try moving your saddle even more...over to the dumpster!

    (Sorry, couldn't resist!)

    Seriously though...first try some lube as a cheap fix. Try tipping the nose of your saddle up or down 1/4". Try a different pair of shorts. If those things don't stop the awful pain on longer rides- time to try a different saddle. Read the saddle threads here at TE- it's better to read comments from actual women than to rely on what some man at the bike shop tells you is good for women. He's just selling what's in stock in the store, remember.

    Astroglide and slathering the chamois of my shorts with Curel or Aveeno lotion does the trick for me. There is still sometimes a little discomfort "down yonder" on longer rides or if I'm doing lots of climbing, but it's not the burning, searing pain I was having before. And no more saddle sores since I got the Astroglide. I NEVER want to have another saddle sore as long as I live!
