Hi all you sore tushy-no-more gals!

What is causing the raw tissue upper b_tt crack problem I've experienced in the past? I don't have any pain really, but when I get back and am feeling a little "achy" in my very lower back, it is a totally raw stripe of tissue right at the base of my spine where the bottom cheeks must be rubbing. High up, not on the female parts, but like the upper b_tt cheeks are rubbing raw against each other. But then I've never ridden more than 8 miles, so it maybe could be worse if I ever did.

I have an "elephant" large cushy seat on my bike and I have never heard (until here) that you're supposed to ride "nudi genu" (latin) under your shorts. Is that the problem? I am so dumb about these things!!!

Guess I'll learn a lot here reading all these posts. Guess I am going to have to purchase a real honest-to-goodness pair of biking shorts and go "nudi genu" under them!!!
