I never did before I started using an inform r/l. I love it. its fairly comfortable, I have done a couple of centurys on it ( them actually I have it on more than one bike) and I still get sores. I was fitted , they are level, and I still get them. frustrating.
I've had saddle sores in the past and that is one hell of a terrible feeling. I got rid of mine by (a) getting better shorts and (b) getting a different saddle. That was after trying all the different taint lubes I could find, soaking in salt, using baby powder during the day, etc. If you didn't get sores before you started using your current saddle, why not try a different saddle?
