    shaving is a no-no for many female riders. I've found waxing or plucking are okay, but shaving is a sure-fire recipe for saddle sores for me. the hair folicles get infected too easily.

    another thought, make sure to keep yourself clean -- both before you ride and after you ride. anti-bacterial baby wipes work great.

Ok sorry this will probably seem TMI but here it goes, closer to my sit bones I have caluses (sp). moving towards the front in the crease where my leg meets my Labium it feels more like bruises and on the Labium I get bumps (hard knots). FWIW I keep everything shaved, but it doesn't appear to be an infected/irritated hair - I don't know, it's frustrating and embarrising all at the same time.

    Are you rocking around on your saddle? Or are you fairly stable while pedaling.
    It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.
