"down there" problems while mountain biking - Women's Health Message Board

BkrChyk · 04-24-2003, 09:23 PM

I have taken up mountain biking lately, and have noticed that my lower parts are hurting alot during sexual intercourse or any type of lower activity. I have been feeling burning down there and need help. Has anyone else had similar problems, or know of any cures for this problem. I think soon I will be buying the spandax shorts with the bum padding, but until then, any advice?

This happens to women sometimes when they take up cycling. You may want to do some searching on this website as I know there was extensive posting in reply to someone else having these problems. You may want to consider talking someone in a good bicycle shop to see if they can't recommend a different seat or seat cover that might help.

Hello, I can identify sort of with this. My bum gets sore too after biking. I've found out that there are bicycle seats specifically designed for women. The seats have a crevis in the middle. Also there are padded bicycle seats and padded bicycle seat covers. That way you don't have to walk around with paded spandex. You might want to check a bicycle shop as suggested so you know what you're looking for, then go to a discount store to get it cheaper.
