    I've never had a saddle sore of any consequence even on a 300/400k brevet, overall sore yes! Clean shorts each ride, seamless chamois, Terry Butterfly, chamois cream and a well fitted bike has worked well for me.....and my being shaved is a personal preference and wasn't influenced by pornographers or anyone else.

    We disagree a lot of this board, but it's always been of a polite and respecful nature.
    Well said and one of the reasons I like this forum!!!!

    Using Vaseline can increased the risk of yeast and bacterial infections.

    Hi
    I always usually get saddle sore and the boils very often. On a resent thread related to shorts for hot weather I bought a pair of Sugoi Shorty shorts as I live in Puerto Rico and the weather is really hot. I am in love. To me this is the best padded short I have used. I have the Pearl Izumi shorts and the Shebeest which were my to go shorts. Pearl Izumi pads run down my thigh and maybe this rubbing is causing me to get the boils. I have ridden with the Sugoi and no problem at all. I think these have been the best combination of shorts with my saddle. Just my two cents on the topic, maybe its just the kind of padding on some shorts for some of us. Sugoi's have really small padding in the crotch area and don't bother me at all in the saddle. As for the hair topic. Can the girls who shave all let me know if that solved the boil problem?
