Ditto with great improvement with Chamois Butter (sold here at Team Estrogen in small packets you can take with you. I reapply each time I take a pit stop. Secondly, as you probably know, those areas do get tougher. Each time I get back on the bike after a week or more off I start over in reconditioning all the rub areas. At your local health food store they will sell CALENDULA gel which is fantastic for those rub places. I use chamois butter on the ride, reapplying as needed and then when home I slather the Calendula gel on the same areas and soon enough I am past the "break in" period and good to go for long miles in the saddle. Speaking of saddles the TERRY BUTTERFLY is a wonderful seat and highly rated by many women riders I know. Good luck....the rub is not fun!!!
