Chafing

Ditch Witch

was reading about chafing in another thread and I know that Mr DW has to take great care not to chafe, yet I have never suffered from it, on a bike at least

Is it a man thing? We both where lycra shorts so it can't be that.

Chafing sucks... sweaty ball syndrome.

Loose shorts + tight pants solves that problem though.


Saw some sort of cream advertised as stopping chafing though. Can't remember what its called.

So that's:

Men: 1
women: 0



Is it just a man thing then??

Never had any trouble, personally. Maybe if he ate more pies & drank more ale like me, he wouldn't go so far & it wouldn't be a problem!

Happens to me. I had to get some steroid cream from the docs! Also have inflamed stretch marks on my upper inner thighs (sod it, next to my nuts, you know what I mean!)

Can we stick to cycling-related injuries please guys...? :roll:

It's a light hearted thread, obviously. If it gets unsuitable and veers too far off, I'll put in another forum, but not yet.

haha - wasn't being serious, I'll warn you if that ever happens

supersonic

Hehe, I thought as much!

elPedro666

Mostly I was worried where your 'injuries' came from.

Thinking about it I'd probably rather not know...!

supersonic

Fat thighs and riding in tight jeans lol. Well, they weren't tight when I got them

sparrowlegs78

I'm not even going to start on my chafing injuries!..lets say it now makes me use nappy rash cream before i go out :oops:

Anyone remember lycra? I know it's not cool at the moment but it's soooo comfy on a bike...
Like it was made for it!

I keep banging on about this stuff, yes it's a bit pricey, but it lasts for ages and it's the only thing that does it for me!

Heeeeey, Mr DW swears blind that Chamois Cream was for chafing.

Now I know the truth :roll:

Look, it's not my fault I can keep going for hours without a rest. I am feeling a little stiff today though after going hard at it last night, hopefully work some of that stiffness out with a good session tonight.

I woke up this morning feeling a little queer, I don't know what's come over me just lately, I've just not been feeling myself.

Don't beat around the bush, mate.

...indeed, and back to the OP, last time I had a hard one it lasted for four hours, I was so sore afterwards I couldn't walk properly for days! That's why I always use lubrication now.

Still struggle to do it no-handed for any length of time though (insert Sid James type laugh here)
