Lots of good advice (mostly) already in this thread. The gist is - start out clean in breathable clothes, then dry off, clean up (with baby wipes/towel/paper towels), put on deodorant, new clothes, voila.
Well, as I noted it is used to prevent sore from the saddle. But sure, if you already have one...
