To avoid chafing and to improve your comfort you should wear specific women’s bike shorts.
The most bothersome thing is when your thighs chaf against the seat. But with the right bike short legs won’t ride up.
Shorts are made up spandex and nylon, this means they are breathable designed for moving water vapor and perspiration away from your skin.
Inside the average shorts should have a smooth soft liner that protects your delicate parts from friction. Furthermore, it should be made of synthetic materials. Another feature consists in two curved seams, so the central zone of the shorts remain smooth.
Two suggestions are a must: -take liners with antibacterial treatment, so you can avoid more easily the developing of sores;
-don’t ride in unlined garments: wear cycling shorts under multisport tights.
You should choose shorts with a smooth surface antibacterial hygienic, non-binding elastic.
For a more comfortable condition, choose the shock absorbing type, padded bike shorts designed to absorb shock during your bike trails.
