Gromit Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 My wife has jut started spinning at gym with the goal of getting fit enough to join me on an MTB. The problem is that her 'lady bits' are getting chaffed beyond comfort. When I started cycling my ass got sore but I just muscled on and the pain eventually subsided. This however is not the answer my wife is looking for. So calling all the ladies, what do you do to prevent this?
Conti Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 my wife had the same problem but its better since she uses vaseline
Tumbleweed Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 i can see where this may be headed... however, get her a pair of shorts with a decent chamois and get her to use chamois cream.
Wonder Woman Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 My one friend has shorts with a chamois as well as one of those gel saddle covers...maybe try that as those saddles really aren't female friendly. At least her own bike she can choose the saddle!!
slowtwitch Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 Aaah Bennetts aka Boudjie Room, I don't know what they put in that stuff but it sure works for healing chaffed bits
Candz Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 I think its the lanolin...she must make sure that they are spinning shorts and that they are fitting tight..if too loose they will chaff!
Taps Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 My one friend has shorts with a chamois as well as one of those gel saddle covers...maybe try that as those saddles really aren't female friendly. Shame, maybe we all need to tell Wonderwoman we're all her friends
hot stuff Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 A good schamy and bepantene for the already chaiffed bits. Also use said cream for nappy rash and cracked nipples
cat-i Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 how often does she go, and how long at a time? possibly skip a day or 2 between classws, go run, or play squash, or do something else the other days, and built the 'sitting' up?
patrickw Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 Show her how to set up the correct seat position.Too high a seat will cause her hips to rock ,thus causing her lady bits to rub side to side causing chaffing!!!
splat Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 A good schamy and bepantene for the already chaiffed bits. Also use said cream for nappy rash and cracked nipples Bepanthen Cream is awesome stuff.
