You Mnetters with mad cycling dh's/dp's - what do they use on their sore groin area?

[DrNortherner]

Dh rides for many many hours during the week, he has a sore groin area. Kind of like red sore skin from chaffing I would guess.

He has tried vaseline, canesten and sudocrem all to no avail.

Any reccommendations?

Thanks

DH says to not wear the shorts twice, no undies under the shorts and maybe have a look at changing saddles.

Change saddle.

He has had various different saddles....he has however been wearing pants, tink this is the problem - his sore bits are where the seams of his pants sit.

Dh wears boxer shorts. Has never had any problems (may cycle less though - 12 miles a day only).

DP says no undies and get a good pair of cycling shorts "with a chamois insert and a towelling bit at the front" ... feck knows, sounds hideous [vomit]

pants off, clean padded shorts. Very unattractive.

Yes... my DH did Lands End - John 0 groats on his bike earlier this year in six days cycling up to 160 miles a day he used Assos Chamois Cream and can highly recommend it. DH also says no undies and a good pair of cycle shorts with chamois insert.

Apparently Boudreaux's Butt Cream is the way to go Its a US nappy cream which is favoured in the hardcore cycling fraternity (as used by Lance Armstrong) !

No undies and decent cycling shorts are also essential

Another vote for Assos chamois cream, going commando, clean shorts every day (the best shorts he can afford, I like Pearl Izumi ones) - and maybe a new saddle.

Assos chamois cream while riding, Sudocrem just overnight. And slap LOADS of the stuff on...

I did 600km charity bike ride in 6 days in August, DH did about the same last year. Our bits are/were all still intact
