Hang on - unless your arse is pristine clean EVERY time you get on a bike commando, how the hell is it more hygenic?

If you have a leather pad pressing permanently against your chocolate starfish for hours, unless you are absobloodylutely certain you've got a shiny ringpiece, you're gonna have crusty claggy bits being pressed into that pad.

God help you if you do a no.2 and don't shower / bidet your rusty bullet hole to perfection before cycling... and not to get graphic here, but you're gonna have to take into account the changing... calibre of said bullet hole when sitting on a bike saddle, or there'll be recessed rectal remains just waiting to deposit themselves on the pad.

Oh, and what metrosexual bloody excuse for a man actually seriously used the term VPL for anything a bloke wears???? For God's sake man, go grow some, then you might have something v in your p.

I guess it comes down to whether you sit in those same undies all day and then ride home in them as well.

Direct contact to the anti-bacterial pad. Direct contact to lycra which asorbs and evaporates bacteria filled sweat.

And the only difference is that if you have underwear on the same is happen only to cotton, polyester or PVC.

but explain to me, how is it more hygenic to wear underwear, which provides no antibacterial support and also keeps sweat in...

I don't get it....

Surely Ms DDD has explained VPLs to you? Visible Pant(ie) Line - i.e. when you can see someone's pants through their trousers/skirt/shorts due to the outer garment being a little snug.

DonDaddyD

Yeah I meant the follow on comment "V in your P".

I don't get it... it reads visible in your panties.... oh now I get it, a Linford....

tick.....tick....tick.....CLUNK.

I use chamois cream - even on my 1 hour commute - without it I develop saddle sores...

Eurostyle Chamois Butt'r if you are interested.....

You shouldn't be getting saddle sores on rides of 1 hour, or even 3. It sounds like you've either got the wrong seat or it's set up wrong.

And as others have already said...pants should not be worn under cycling shorts.

I think you are fully qualified with both data and training to diagnose my saddle sore history and treatment plan...

KB, keyboards do not make good short pads.

No need to be such a tool about it.

I'm just surprised you're getting sores from such short rides, that's all.

This is a man who does not know Greg T...

(just so's you knows - nearly everything he writes is meant in the driest humour)

biondino

Though "driest" does not cover his sores. It's a shame "weeping" and "pustulent" are always considered such negative adjectives.

Where does the cream go.

I'm. Being serious.

Does it go on the cheeks or the upper inner thigh - where the balls sit and just behind it?

If the latter I may have to use it, I'm a little sore/raw bought about by friction (87 miles so far this week) and still have 80miles over the rest of the week to go...

Currently using Vaseline and coco butter (to smell nice mostly) but I don't think it's enough not enough

rjsterry

I'd go for full coverage to start with - you don't want to miss a bit. Some suggest applying to the pad of the shorts.

It goes in its skin

I was cycle touring in Holland last week

Mrs Vorsprung and Vorsprung jnr are very very slow cyclists so on more than one occasion I was 7 hours in the saddle

I was wearing normal pants and non- lycra shorts. No barrier cream. Brooks B17 saddle. It was warm and dry weather. I showered every night.

I had no issues with arse sores

The only arse problems I've had recently were when wearing brand new Endura fs260 pro bib shorts, as discussed on my blog ( see linky below ). DDD, the cream goes where ever you get moist downstairs.

I think that the many Brooks miles I've put in have given me a leathery backside which is impervious to saddle sores

Bacteria Man

Follow me, for I am the enlightened one. I have found the perfect undergarment-it provides both padding and the sought-after scrot/thigh seperation. I tried them on my ride in to work tonight, along with Assoss biffen cream and it is riding bliss.

It goes where it's rubbing which should be your sore bits.

I used to used chamois cream everyday swapping my saddle to a charge spoon as stopped me needing it yay!

DonDaddyD

I think I might need a thinner saddle.

Where the thighs meet the sack. Right in there, you know the part of the womens thighs that makes that V shape and beneath either side of the rumble strip (perenium) is sore.

I now use this cream the barber gave me to stop razor bumbs. Its called 'mercy cream' and is IMO thicker than Vaseline. Seems to work for now.

SimonAH

Good bloody grief! My posterior must be made of leather as I've never had an issue and don't wear lycra.

Mind you, have to say that my seat seems to be very saddle specific - got the right one for me and al is korrekt.

Not sure I fancy pedalling around in a rubber bag full of grease tbh - then again? :shock:

Mercy cream helps soothes and soften skin and treats most skin problems. It's not solely for the face but for sore or irrtated skin.

Cafewanda

Don't care how you try and dress it up, it's shaving-related cream
