I have a saddle sores. Was it my underwear? My position? Sigh. So I'm not sitting lopsided, with a bandage on one side. I had no idea about saddle sores since I've never had them before, but hoooooeey they hurt. They're like rug burns in a VERY uncomfortable place. Mine were right on my underwear line, so they're where the butt meets the leg. I also now know how painful it is to have water hit your saddle sores. Yowza.
So, I'm taking today and tomorrow off to let those heal up before I get back on. Have you ever had saddle sores? What did you do? Do you wear special 'riding' underwear??
I haven't had the issue yet, but all my lady friends who do use the Anti Monkey Butt powder and swear by it!
ReplyDeleteRiding underwear does exist...haven't tried it myself, but I was looking through the Dover site and one product reviewer said bike shorts work just as well for cheaper.
ReplyDeletei have friends that will use riding underwear when they do a lot of riding because it has a gel seat inset to make riding more comfortable... hope you feel better soon...

Put it on at night while you wear clothes you don't mind getting messed up a bit. (it can leave a bit of an oil like stain on clothing) Will take the 'burn' out of any type of hurt!

I had a pair of full-seat breaches that used to *cough* bother me. You will get lines, but thats better than saddle sores! Hope you feel better soon.
