shorts with insert a must, but even with them, a long time in the saddle( particuarly in the heat) saddle sores inevitable.Various chamois creams about, but they don't prevent me being sore.

Been doing big mileage over the last year or so, and my arse should be as tough as elephants feet, yet still sore as fuck on the undercarriage.

Oh and make sure you have your saddle in the right position for you. That can lead to massive problems.
 
Get a DECENT pair of padded lycra shorts. The ones from lidl are useless and won't last you a year, the lycra goes see through and the padding isn't good. I've got some DHB from Wiggle and they are fantastic, good quality and comfy.

Also like CeeJay said, a good layering of Chamois cream helps, though sudocream is also good.

Never ever ever ever wear underpants under your lycra shorts though.

Is that what Siddall was applying to your nether regions last year.

This. The chamois is meant to be like a second skin, putting some sort of pants between it and your crotch just defeats the purpose of it.

Also if you have a big sofa like saddle it might cause unnecessary chaffing, if you are pedalling and your legs are like this <> then it's going to be less comfortable than if they are like this ||. Bigger, fatter seat isn't the answer.
