my crotch has been injured from riding

[Dogmama]

I spent years in wool cycling shorts with real chamois. It was horrible. The chamois dries out and feels like cardboard covered with sandpaper. It takes alot of care to keep it supple and I can't remember what I did nor didn't do, but the result was terrible.

Oh man - I remember the "real chamois." I never could get it supple again. Horrible. And they were men's shorts because that's all I could find. We're talking B.I. (before internet) when I had to rely on my LBS - run by adolescents would sneer when I walked in. Also used men's shoes because you couldn't find women's shoes.

And now we have T.E. - who'da thunk it?

I too realize this thread is a little old now but I have a suggestion to anyone with this problem that is a homeopathic remedy. If you take a small spray bottle and put water (a cup and a half) and about a teaspoon of tea tree oil in it, shake it and spray it on your girl stuff before, after whenever you feel that nagging tingling or itching feeling. It will help and it is a natural antiseptic so it keeps things from getting irritated.

Yeah that tea tree works really well, as good as vinegar!
Oh and nest shorts in WORLD - skins womens cycling ones.
