To Cotton or not to Cotton

[DieVlieg]

I have been thinking of my backside a lot lately as it was kinda reminding me that is is feeling a bit tender of late. Usually after a long period of not riding the backside starts feeling sore after just a short ride. But being a regular cyclist for some time now I guess that part of the body hardened up. Well that is until I started doing longer distances on bad roads more regularly.

 

I have noticed some burning and itching vibes randomly coming and going and it is uncomfortable the first hour or so in the saddle.

 

Now I suspect the enemy from within (sweat) is trapped in my cotton as I always wear them (cotton) wen I suit up. I suspect the salt aggravates the shaving between moving and impact area around the middle area.

 

Question: Cotton or no cotton layer. And any other general advice for sores created by the saddle.

if by cotton you mean undies, then NO

You talking about wearing budgie smugglers under your bibs? In which case - NOOOOOOO!!!!

 

Criminal. It's bad. Very, very bad. Both for comfort as well as rashes. Sheesh. Remove before application of bibs / cycling shorts. Please. For your own sanity.

These stupid silly cotton in cheek threads are clogging up whats supposed to be a serious forum (Fitness and Training)

 

Do we still have moderators who moderate?
