I just had my first short ride after 6 weeks of these issues and survived! Have to say, I just got a pair of Pearl Izumi 3-D pro shorts, and they are so comfortable. I could feel the air flow with the fabric weave. It felt much more breathable than my other shorts.

I didn't realize there were different types of Monistat. That may have been where I misunderstood. Thanks for all of your help on here, ladies!
