    I can highly recommend Icebreaker knickers for cycling. wear mine under padded shorts and they're great. not cheap, but well worth the money

    Here is mine sella-fltgelflw-sadd-blk-top-det.jpg
    Selle Italia Flite Gel Flow.

    Very comfy. My best cycling investment (after the bike itself, natch).

    Hmm, they've changed the shape.
    Bah, I liked those.

    I kinda moved onto SLR Gel Flows, though.

    Also I found that virgin coconut oil was much better than sudocream...its a bit of a miracle cream as it repairs skin, has antibacterial properties and also smells lush.

    I reccomend the Biona oil http://www.steenbergs.co.uk/product/493 ... anic-biona

    Maloja do (or at least used to do) underpants with a small padded gusset that are not offensive - they look like standard M&S white cotton briefs in the pics anyway- if you're really not sure about padded cycling shorts.

    EDIT. Just found these ones too which aren't too horrid.

    But I second LiT's suggestion of cycling shorts under a dress for a practical yet normal-looking stance. It also makes it far more amusing when you overtake blokes. A BURD IN A DRESS WITH A PANNIER JUST OVERTOOK ME. GAH.

    Be wary of chamoix cream too - application in crease of leg to punani only.

    So the old folk were generations ahead of their game when they slathered us kids in coconut oil, olive oil etc whilst I was growing up.

    I generally cycle in a dress and leggings, but will check out the padded knickers
    and as the dress would cover padded shorts I may be tempted to try these again...just my ars* is huge and i don't particularly want to wear something that makes it look bigger!!!!

    You could get padded tights and replace the leggings with those?

    Compression type ones may even help with your huge ar$e (although I'm sure it ain't that big, that's a 'ladies' huge ;-) )

    No, you just grew up with cannibals :D Never amounted to more than a starter or a light snack so they never bothered with other marinades :D

    That's true for a lot of this thread, including:

    But that quote mentioned sudocrem. Sudocrem is for babies with nappy rash, which overrides any smut in the post. :wink:

    Firstly thank you! I am new myself and love the fact that people can ask these sort of questions.
    I had a very similar problem after my first full commute (30+miles) and was nearly in tears with the pain in my lady bits.
    Lowered the seat an inch.
    Got female specifc coolmax padded shorts (I find it can be quite sweaty especially during "ladies week" as a previous thread put it)
    Got a new saddle.
    I now love cycling and can go to the loo wihout pain the following day.

    For info I am a tight fisted whatnot so I have the speg 3/4 and love them and a ladies bodyfit saddle, as recomended by a female cylcling friend. Combined cheaper than some of the options mentioned.

    Glad you got it sorted.

    Apologies in advance. This is a genuine snippet of conversation from my long-ago youth....

    Rugby team_mate, before game: "Did you come on your bike?"
    Poacher: "Yes. it's this new racing saddle that does it."

    One turns to the other and says "oo, I haven't come this way before."

    Can bikes going over cobbles really do that?

    Also, riding during 'Ladies week' isn't that illegal? Let alone nigh-impossible....

    Unrelated but linked:

    Two nuns are having a bath.
    Nun1: Where's the soap?
    Nun2: Yes it does rather!

    Oh and DDD clearly you have forgotten all those adverts with roller-blading/sailing/trampoline-bouncing women who can still do whatever they want on their 'ladies week'... :P

    Reminds of the tale of the gang of youths bored on their sink estate in Cardiff. One of em nips off and comes back with a box of tampons. 'Look' he says to his mates. 'We can go swimming, horse riding, cycling and jogging with these'.
