A lot of cyclists will struggle with "issues" when it comes to the nether regions and they suffer in silence. It's not typically a topic you talk about with your coworkers or even your family but in many cases it is very avoidable.
When cycling in bike shorts and spending hours on the saddle, a lot of friction, moisture, heat, pain etc can develop from the intense time on the saddle....but there is a secret weapon out there that many, if not most people ignore. Chamois creme.
Chamois Creme? What's that? It's butt creme, that's what it is. You can buy it at bicycle shops all over the country and they know it is the best thing since sliced bread and most avid riders wouldn't be caught dead without it.
I know when I started riding, I ignored ALL of the advice of my bike shop. I didn't let them measure me for my seat, I didn't buy any bike shorts because I thought they looked fruity and I sure as heck wasn't going to buy any butt creme to make my riding more enjoyable. Wasn't going to happen....at least.....not until I smartened up. Those first few weeks of riding were absolute torture, until finally I sought out the advice of those who knew.
An hour later, I had been measured for the right width saddle, I had a nice pair of Pearl Izumi shorts and I was armed with "butt creme" for my chamois. Needless to say....I was a happy camper after the first ride. Check out this video for more information on chamois creme or chamois butter as it is often called. This creme, combined with a quality pair of cycling shorts and you will simply be amazed at the difference in your comfort level on the bike.
It might appear to be expensive, but it goes a looong way and the difference in your riding comfort will be incredible. Trust me.
