Recommendations for body care during cross country tour?

In my experience, antibacterial soaps can upset the normal, and hopefully healthy, pH of your vagina and induce a yeast infection. I would stick to whatever soap you normally use. Now is not the time to change to products your body is not used to. But even with that, use it to clean your backside and the crease of your inner thigh, but go easy on your genitals. Trust me, you do not want to ride with a yeast infection.

The one and only saddle sore that I had was in the fold of my inner thigh. Benzoyl Peroxide took care of it, but you have to be careful. The cream will bleach most clothes. I would apply it at night and sleep without underwear.

Ah, the reason I posted here. You guys are a wealth of [unpleasant] learning experiences! I use aveeno body wash, I guess I'll just stick to that! We'll also be getting yogurt every morning.

I had a saddle sore earlier this spring and I just 'rode it out' so to speak. Didn't think to apply anything to it. Good tip!

I recently purchased and love the Canari SPF jerseys in screaming orange and killer yellow. They're light and very breathable. Some are currently on sale.
