It stinks so badly though.
Any ol lube seems to work.
The painful saddle sores are infected. They're basically acne. Clean the taint. Give it a scrub in the shower. Let that beast air out between rides. If you find a magic bullet, let us know, it's something I struggle with despite doing all the right things.
If you can get your doc to prescribe a bottle of topical (usually in a bottle with a sponge tip) bacitracin, rub that on your nethers after rides. Prevents and heals the taint acne. I did this once, it was pretty good.
