Maxipad
I read somewhere that wearing a maxipad actually helps with comfort while riding on the saddle.
Well, I wore one today. That really worked. |
Exactly what did it do for you?
|
just shoot me...
|
You're a bigger man than I. Oh, wait....what.....?
|
Are you sure it wasn't a mini pad??
|
looks like you've found a new market
Maybe because it helps keep the skin dry? With high mileage tours, I've been thinking of changing the shorts once or twice a day to help keep the skin clean and dry. This might be another option that'd do basically the same thing. I'm not sure I'm man enough to try it.
I'm seeing a market here - design a bicycle specific pad, loose the feminine look and nature. Make it the size and shape of a chamois pad. |
My shorts have a built-in pad.

My thought is that, unless you are menstruating, if you need another pad you are probably using the wrong shorts.

Hahaha, silly people.
I don't have cycling shorts and I have a saddle that doesn't work for me. My perineum got enough pain from riding the saddle too much. The pad actually provides comfortable padding that makes the ride much more bearable! I have a Brooks B17 and actual cycling shorts coming in a few days so I won't be using this maxipad. :) |

I carry a couple maxi pads in my road rash kit. They presumably work well for large area scrapes. Luckily haven't found out yet. I thought that was what this was about. Silly me....
|
With the absorbency of the pads, I don't think they would feel comfortable after a long, hot, ride.

I had surgery a few years ago. Due to complications of Crohn's disease, they removed my sphincter and while it was healing, I wore a pad (with stitches from my taint all the way up, I couldn't ride for a few months). Anyway, I was shooting hoops at my in-laws' house, out in rural East Texas and the basketball bounced out into the pasture. As I precariously stepped through the barbed-wire fence to get the ball, my son called out, "Dad, don't get your pad hung up on the fence!"
My brother-in-law looked a little put off, thinking that my son was talking trash at me, "Dude! don't talk to your father like that." My son and I both busted out laughing and told him it was actually a legitimate concern. |

aren't you scared it might go in you?
|
I'd heard of them as useful for road rash type injuries, but not as a moisture regulation. Think I'll keep my chamois, thanks.

Sorry for your troubles, but dude TMI!

I always say that you should do what ever works for you, this seems a creative solution. For me, in that general area I find that a bit of Bag Balm applied before a ride prevents any chaffing. You might also look seriously at a better saddle, it's more expensive than Maxipads, but probably a better solution.

To think I could have been watching Dysfunctional Wives Of Some Big City instead of reading this disturbs me deeply.

Speaking as a woman who has tried using various feminine products on rides out of necessity, I can say both "yuck" and "ouch".

No need to be disturbed. I'm quite healthy, now.
