Target sells some underware in the 5 of $20 bin that I consider seamless. Maybe try thongs ( the key to thongs is to buy a size bigger). I buy them just to ride!

Yup, that appears to be the oneâŠ
Then there was also this rather interesting oneâŠ

OMG that dressage thread made soda come out of my nose! Hairless minge? No wonder Thomas was banned. :lol:
And I guess I must have been riding incorrectly for the past 30 years because I have never been injured by my underwear. What the hell are you people doing with your crotch when youâre in the saddle? :eek:

I had this problem too. Boy short underwear helped. But when I got my really awesome custom Antares saddle the problem miraculously disappeared and has not returned. I tried all sorts of creams, lotions, underwear, and expensive painful laser. It NEVER occurred to me that it was my saddle but thatâs what finally fixed the problem.[/QUOTE]
Same thing for me! I always wondered why it only happened when I rode in my saddle. I finally woke up and realized thatâs what it was. I now ride in a CWD and have not had the problem since. I tired everything from new underwear to creams and didnât exactly enjoy going commando⊠Try riding in a different saddle for a week and see if it happensâŠ

Skip the undies. Except at shows. At shows, wear undies just in case you split out your breeches or have to go to the hospital. <âexperience.[/QUOTE]
Epic response and I was waiting for someone to throw that one out there.
I ride in the seamless underwear from Soma. Pricey, yeah, but I figure Iâve already thrown out this much cash for this damn sport, whatâs a few pairs of expensive underwear, right?
Thanks for all the responses! I will definitely have to look into some of these suggestions. I only have this problem on my right side, probably cause I have an issue weighting my left side more than my right so that side is pushing against the saddle more.
I donât really like going commando, actually riding is ok (only done it twice, both times to avoid pain after a bad underwear sore), but I donât like the feeling getting my horse ready/walking around, and I am paranoid about forgetting to zip my zipper or something!!

You guys are cracking me up with the âGo Commando!â suggestion.
I sell an underwear line called Commando in my store, and their tagline is âbetter than nothingâ. It seems like their products might be what the OP is looking for. I know a bunch of girls from my barn got them to ride in.
This is a link to the underwear companies website.
Try BodyGlide on very clean skin, (no soap residue), dressage extentions has it.
In the good old days we use to wear panty hose, cut off below the knee, over under wear. Worked great.
granny panties, and in summer bring a extra pair for after ride.
for those who commando + heat does that not equal the yeasty beasty?
There is a product called Bodyglide, that really helps with chafes on knees, heels and wherever. Iâve used it on girth rubs. Hard to find sometimes but worth the hunt. It comes in a rub on container like deodorant.

Exactly the opposite!
Thanks guys. My mom has some bodyglide for when she runs so I am sure I can find some to try!
OK, I need to slightly de-rail this thread for a minute to talk about boy shorts.
Because every time one of these threads comes up, a whole bunch of yâall chime in singing the praises of boy shorts. And every time, I get confused. I have owned exactly two pairs of boy shorts; in fact I bought one pair specifically to ride in, hoping to avoid heat rashes in the summer. And both pairs drove me NUTS because the stupid bottom âshortâ portion would always roll up and bunch up! Is it because I have bulging thighs and all you boy short-loving people have twig legs?? Are you supposed to wear them with some sort of reverse garter belts around your knees to keep them down? Duct tape them to my legs??
Iâm really confused about what I am missing here.

I have exactly the same problem! Cheap ones, fancy ones, they all bunch up at the top. Boyshorts are definitely no bueno for me for anything except sleeping in.
Thx eqtrainer! Since inverness i was dying to ask that!

Same here! Soooo I get the ones with the longer legs, that go to about the middle of my thigh, that way no rolling up. The âshaperâ ones are usually the longer ones. Yea I canât stand the typical âboy shortsâ as they arenât long enough and roll up into the thigh/groin crease.
I have underwear shorts from Under Armor and I use Gold Bond Powder.
I empathise with your problem and my remedy will entirely depend upon your sleeping position. Firstly let me explain, that for years i also has saddle sores when ever i rode and as i now move into my twilight years i ride much less often if at all, i found that the best relief from the obvious pain of pressure sores is to remove the pressure and this is where your sleeping position comes into play. If you are a fetus position sleeper and depending Upon your length and girth of your legs you will need to place one to three pillows between your legs to give you a good 37 degree angle, If you are a tummy sleeper (This is the second most humerus position) as it requires the use of five pillows in the form of a T, two across or under you waist and three underneath your buttocks this will as in the first position alleviate the pressure from the areas that have become inflamed. Lastly although the position may seem a little comical it is unfortunately a quite expensive method as you be required to purchase at least eight extra pillows, you stack all the pillows into two neat piles of 3 pillows each with the seventh on top in the middle and the eight pillow placed between your legs, you now lie on your back with your legs elevated over the pillows resembling a dying fly this although will work or has done for me on many occasions as i am also a back sleeper and if it does unfortunately not alleviate the pain you could give up horse riding and open a market stall selling pillows and second hand underwear.
