Try not to hang around in your dirty clothes after a ride either, once the sweat dries its like hot sandpaper covered in bacteria

I actually use Chamois Glide or whatever they are calling it now, it generally has worked just fine. This is only my second saddle sore that I can remember and it is pretty much gone now.
I cannot wear wool in addition to the ethical objections I am slightly allergic and it would reek havoc on my nether regions. Cycling Kit usually is fine though I don't often wear bibs and this was one of those times so who knows?
A&D is an interesting idea but I do really like the ease of the Chamois glide sticks however if things persist I might try that or something else. I have yet to try DZ Nuts and have heard nothing but good about it.
I really like Florasone for rashes and sores and such it works well but alas would be mucho-expensivo para el coato del huevos.
