Ooh yea, it's pretty sore this morning for sure.
I just went the bathroom and it's hurts pretty good now, but not so much when i'm just constantly sitting. It's right inside (the pain) the vagina and it's kind of a numbing but itchy type of pain. I can't describe it. It's pretty irritating I will say that much and it's never happend to me until now but then again, my last bike I had I was fairly young and we bought it from Toys R Us instead of walmart but I don't think that made a difference, the seat was different on that one though.

It did start hurting right after a fairly long ride of about 3-4 miles. If I do get bike shorts, I was debating whether to put them under my normal clothes. You think that would be a problem?

They have to do either against your skin, or over your underwear. Basically what happened to you was you chafed it real bad. The padded shorts will help with that a TON.
Then put slick gym or board shorts over it so nothing is rubbing on your bits. (that's why you see all those guys wearing the silly spandex outfits)

You can buy another seat for pretty cheap. I found a good one at Kmart, it was a schwinn, for around $20 I think.
Believe it or not the ones that are made specifically for biking with almost no padding at all are more comfortable if you're going to be riding a lot. But I think if you're just going to be doing 2-3 miles a day then a padded seat will do just fine.

I've decided not to go riding today and to let it heal up. It's hurts pretty bad so i'm just gonna chill today. Told my fiance that he and his brother can go if they wanted but i'm gonna sit out today. I don't know what to do about it yet, I'll figure something out.

[sourpuss]

What do you mean you don't know what to do? Everyone here that bikes has told you exactly what you need to do. Padded shorts.
I'm sorry, I'm getting really frustrated here. Now it's starting to sound like you're looking for an excuse to not exercise.

I'm sitting out one day so I can get some stuff to make it better.
I'm either going to get a padded seat or some shorts, just don't know which one yet. Like I said, I don't have a whole lot of money so it's a bit hard for me to get both or one thing that is more expensive than the other. That is what I am debating on.If I can find some padded shorts for a fair price, I will go that route. If not, then I will get a padded seat. I'm gonna have to look around more instead of just looking at Sport's Authority.

I love riding, why would I stop now just because I hurt? I'm taking one day break before getting back on. I wanna heal a bit more so maybe next time we go on a huge ride like that it won't hurt so bad.

[sourpuss]

That's cool. If you're going to do one or the other, then definitely go for the shorts- you can use those on the hardest seat know to man and it's pretty comfortable. A padded seat may be a bit better but may not solve the problem.

[Winged_Muse]

Alright, I'll do that.
Anything to keep this from happening again

[sourpuss]

Yeah, it's no fun for sure.

[Winged_Muse]

No it's not. I'll go looking at the store tomorrow for some shorts
