Try the first aid section at the chemists – they sell white tape in 1cm wide rolls, I think for securing bandages. For running, I just use a little square of that.

I do wear a base layer of the mesh variety – a Specialized 1st layer.

This may be a dumb question, but are you wearing a base layer?

Okay, so this is slightly off topic although possibly related. I’ve read several articles about saddle sores but I’ve yet to find anything about another bothersome issue that I hope I’m not the only guy to experience, that is sore nipples. Seriously, does anyone have suggestions on how to treat, and even better prevent, them?

Dude, you crack me up. Hope you never get any saddle sores….or STD’s.

That pic makes me say ouch. I don’t get saddle sores never had don’t know what one is and I rode for over ten years without bike shorts. Maybe I don’t ride enough. Sometimes the seam on the pad chaffes my balls just on the outside. TMI? When I shower I think how did I get STD but then realize it was from the tri suit. Unless that is a saddle sore then STD means Saddle Testicular Disease.

No thanks. I’ve had saddle sores before and dont’ want them again. I’ll keep my fingers crossed, but it has been a long time since I’ve had any.

Thanks Ross…..I’ve never heard of the Coconut Oil treatment. I have some of that in my kitchen right now.
