Levis jeans are great- I had a pair over the summer that I’d ride 3 horses in, almost every day…Then I wore a hole in the a$s and they don’t make that kind anymore!
Paris Blues work well except they loosen at the knee, unless I’m built weird.
Mudd is great too…
I don’t wear boots & breeches unless I’m showing, and I never have problems lol
or another brand of stretchy riding jeans are great 
I believe I saw several pairs at the Tack Exchange - SHOPPING TRIP AHEAD!

Ah, geez. I nearly died of embarrassment just READING this post–with no one else in the room to catch me!!!
And to the one (I forget who at the moment)who mentioned “Dressage Crotch”–it’s also a “Reiner,” and “Trail Rider” problem as well.
What is that odd whistling sound? Oh, heavens! My pencil punched a hole in my forehead!
I NEVER have to shave the insides of my legs–that’s a good thing… Levi’s and 1/2 chaps work for me.

Don’t get stuck in the sludge if you’re that confident in your ride!
Yes it’s true! Dressage Crotch! It is a medical term! It can be diagnosed by your friendly OBGYN! Kidding! It’s not a pretty picture at all, kind of painful peeling away your undies when undressing, yip, ouch, yip! You do not under any circumstances go anywhere near your s/o or husband until you have had a nice hot soak in the tub for an hour,. … with bath salts. . . .and lots of soap, and a very very soft washcloth!!!
It never occurred to me that there might be a “feminine” reason for it! (So what is Robert Dover’s excuse?)
I have ridden for decades in whatever jeans (and chaps) I favored at the moment with no pain or discomfort. Perhaps there is something to be said for starting riding when you are a 3 year old…
If I had a husband who compared me to other riders in such an intimate way there is no way in he!! I would let him out of the room without a FULL explanation. I trust one will be forthcoming and it will be shared with the BB.
I don’t “do” the breeches/chaps thing because I usually stop at the store on the way home. I just can’t walk around in those tights, especially the way tidbits of hay cling to the material.

Oh thank God!!! 
I was really starting to think I was alone out here… Please do tell us what Mr. Artienallie says!! 
And DMK (I just LUURRRVVEEE emoticons )
I say there’s only one way to find out!!!
I’m pretty sure it isn’t her thighs she’s talking about here! I feel your pain! I always ride in breeches, mostly due to a horse-related (of course) injury which has left me with quite a bit of scar tissue in my inner thigh. The inside seam of jeans leaves me hurting for days! Anyway, I find the breeches much more comfy, and have not noticed them being hotter at all.
That said, I hope you don’t suffer any permanent nerve damage…no man likes a frigid woman!
Don’t fret, Spider. Despite decades of jeans and chaps, I am (still) a happily satisfied customer.

Hmmm… Inverness… I have been riding in jeans, jeans and half chaps or jeans and chaps for most of my life (except when about to enter the show ring), with no problem.
On the other hand, I am still single… 
Could be a connection here!
My bad!
Blame it’s resurrection on vineyridge! Ok, so her question was asked in all innocence, or so she’ll say!

Hmmm…if I don’t want to end up an old, bitter, wrinkled up, single woman like someone else on this BB, should I start riding in my boots and breeches every day?
DMK, are you just going to TAKE that from her?!
and forgot how much I disclosed about my person. I feel for all of those who suffer from this malady, but alas, I don’t get it. This information could come in handy when Mr. Mommy is pestering me however!
Still married, and still commando!
You have to be smarter than the horse, and since that will never happen, pretend you are.

Always jeans and chaps (none of this half-chap foolishness! ), but it definitely matters what jeans you wear! I wore this one pair of Gap jeans once and almost had to go to the hospital.
Mr. Rory married me regardless and hasn’t divorced me yet!

Merry! That is cracking me up!
Reminds me of one of the female comedians who was worried about sleeping in the nude in case of a fire and running outside only to reveal her “lady area” to the neighbors
Seriously, though, this is a big issue! I discovered the wonders of boots and breeches when I was breaking in new boots last year and found it much more comfortable than riding in jeans!
My husband once dated another rider and says she and I were definitely similar in the “marital areas” in some ways than the non-riders he’s dated… I was too much of a lady to ask for lots of details but understood that sensitivity was involved? Not going any further
