I use it for bicycling in shorts with mesh liners. Works great.

Yeah, or invest in some bag balm.Tamas:So just go commando or wear cotton boxers?!
WadeGuthrie:After I dive, if I can't change into dry clothes for 20 minutes or so, I get itchy butt. I'm blaming it on those stupid mesh underwear that are sewn into my swim trunks. I'm pretty sure this isn't type I DCS because I dive pretty conservatively, it happens all the time, and it only happens on my butt. Moreover, I have actually had it happen on the way out to a dive site (having not been in the water at all). I'm not sure it matters but I'm 43, 5'7", 160lbs and have about 150 dives.
Does anybody else get this? How should I combat it? I'm contemplating wearing speedos under my trunks to see if this fixes the problem.
Me thinks we're all a little toooo comfortable with each other.... :classic:wetrat:OK now we have three great threads going - peeing in your wetsuit, farting in your drysuit and itchy butts. I guess we must feel comfortable with each other.
JimLap:after the dive it gets all tingly and feels like thousands of tiny elves gently fluffing and massaging the affected area.
