Have you considered a UTI? This happened to me, and went out went to my urologist, he wrote terry liberator on a prescription pad. Now I ride with the butterfly, but fortunatly my urologist was also a cyclist and strongly suggested that I get a saddle with a cut-out. Obviously always wearing clean shorts is important, as is good hygiene.

As many threads in the past have shown, I don't think there are things in this forum that are too hard core not to be public. Please post out loud, KnottedYet
This being said, diaper cream with zinc may help more than regular chammy cream for your itching and preventing irritation/infection. In the summer when it gets REALLY hot and I ride for many many days in a row it saves me from a lot of (h)assle.
The others have given great suggestions too...
Good luck, and hang in there!!Last edited by Grog; 05-30-2006 at 02:13 PM.

Ditto that request! That's just cruel to tease us like this! Originally Posted by Grog

Just a suggestion for AFTER the damage is done--I find that a little spritz of solarcaine w/ aloe provides some relief. I usually have this problem after riding our tandem - it's not a custom, so there is only so much I can do with the saddle position, and this has worked.

Let's just say that "mowing the lawn" to 1/2 inch or 1 inch can make a big difference.
But ya gotta mow the entire lawn.
