Shorts/rubbing/creams/potions question

I've only recently bought lycra shorts after 3 years of commuting to use on longer recreational rides but have a query - should the pad be pushed right up into the creases of you legs/torso so no skin rubs? This doesn't feel particularly comfortable but is better than the rubbing I tend to get or the problem of my happy sack sticking to my thigh! Does this mean I need to start creaming up?[:D]

The idea is that there should be no movement between the shorts and your skin therebye cutting down friction. I think if you're intending to dosome miles it's a good idea to use a cream Try "Sudo" as that's what most cyclists use and it's not too expensive.0

Make sure the happy sack is well out the way, like so :-

Was it purely coincidental that you illustrated your point with a team of Poles......[:)]0

Assos do a good cream but it is about œ10 for a tub.
