Personal female question

Do you use any lubrication on your rides? I had a scare last month when I had bleeding for a couple of days after a ride - all of that was removed two years ago... In the end it was from not using lube - tissue had been torn... No pain but scary for a bit!

hey there,
that just happened to me last night after my ride. can i ask what you use? is it chamois butter or? i hate when that happens. mostly long road rides or intense off road rides..not fun.

Right I am using That Butt Stuff available here. It has natural ingredients and no tingle. My order did ship pretty quickly. I tried Body Glide but wasn't happy with it. Chamois Butt'r did a good job - but it has parabens in it... That Butt Stuff states on their website that their product has:

* no petroleum
* no animal products
* no parabens or formaldehyde
* no phthalates

Hi ladies - I don't use anything, and my shorts have minimal gel pad. I made a doctors appointment for November - hadn't had a female check-up in about 3 years because my doctor left, so I got a recommendation and made appointment.

Funny - I had my race Saturday (Barn Burner, Flagstaff, 108 miles, but had a team so did one lap of 27 miles), rode my A** off, still only to finish 2:57, but now my "area" is numb, lol! It's coming back a little bit each day, but what a weird unsensation.

Getting ready for first annual Wahine Warrior race here in AZ next week- women only!! SWEET!
Calling all females.....

Whatever else you may or may not have going on, numbness is probably going to be a fit issue almost all of the time, and you're lucky the sensation is coming back - it might not, in the future. Do try to find a saddle that fits you better!

Hi again - I don't use anything when I ride, and my shorts have a very thin gel seat, no diaper here I have a appointment to get checked out in November, and will have them check to see if I'm entering "The Phase".

Barner Burner (Flagstaff, AZ) race 9/11 was awesome, alot of lady riders - so good to see - and on 9/25 I have a race with the first WOMENS ONLY in Arizona, so really looking forward to that. I told my husband he didn't have to go, he says "Why would I do that?" - I thought, he's right, with all those women around...LOL
