Major A$$ PROBLEM
OK, I just did 600 miles today...just got back. It was a muggy day, no rain. I sweated where the butt meets the saddle. This caused a very uncomfortable feeling when I would get back on the bike....sorta like a major league burning sensation.....dawg, it was painful. I guess it was the sweaty skin rubbing against the blue jean material. Soooooo, how do I avoid this from happening again? I am serious about this......this is about as painful as watching Jerry Springer.

AirHawk seat cushion, lets air circulate. I don't leave home without it.

Motorcycle Butt Rub (not the Butt rub we put on our Butts before we put them on the smoker) is from a lack O air circulation in the rectal area.

Its called prickly heat. Happens in the military all the time when you sweat and do not get to change clothes alot. I read a scientific explanation about it somewhere. Bottomeline is to get good circulation to the area or change sweaty clothes often.

1st.) 600 miles today? [:-]Thats a CONSTANT 75mph for 8 straight hours
Now I rode from Dayton Beach to NY straight through, I have also spent 33 days on the bike touring the country. Even figured out how to sleep on the bike to avoid time wasted setting up a tent. ( not while I was riding)
So what I am getting at is 600 miles; You need to be registered for the Iron Butt.
I found that as others have said, Air circulation is a must. AND check out Biker Shorts, as in Bicyclists. They are ment to reduce chaffing. Most of them use a synthetic wool blend to keep moisture away from the skin. Just about anything will be better than cotton underwear.

If you can't find Monkey Butt, try using Gold Bond powder (Yellow or Blue. The Green is foot powder is not good on your "jewels."[sm=smiley34.gif]). I keep a small bottle in my saddlebag and when I stop fill up the tank, I hit the restroom to empty my bladder and apply some powder. It keeps me happy all day long!

I have a gel seat pad with sheepskin that I use on long rides. The biker shorts work great also or Under Armor (or similar) underwear. Cotton keeps it moist down there.
