I am tempted to look at the bike shorts you're wearing.

Are they the right size? They should be fitting, which probably means smaller than what you'd spontaneously buy. You have to get the smallest shorts you can fit yourself into, hence keep the chamois in its place. A properly fitting bike short should prevent pinching.

Also, a common cause of vaginal issues on the bike is not squeeky clean shorts. They have to be washed after every single ride, no matter what, especially if you are prone to infections. Some wear underwear under their shorts and wear the same shorts a few times, but if you're anywhere near prone to infections, I'd avoid doing that (both the underwear and the wear-again).

I'm also not sure what you mean by "internal". Chamois Butt'r and the like are certainly not meant to be worn INSIDE your vagina, but they can be spread on your vulva area.

Good luck!!
