    You do tend to break them in: good padded/lined shorts also help a lot.

    Plus some Chafe-Ease liberally applied to the nether regions.

    Sudocrem is the best and cheapest IMHO

    My nether regions prefer a more natural product. :D

    Do a couple of rides a week and your back side will feel better. However stop riding for a few weeks and you’ll be back to at square one... Did 20 miles at weekend, have been on hols for the last couple of weeks and not ridden. It felt morre like 50 miles.
