Women post - Dry hips from cycling

Triathlon Forum

Ladies out there… do your hips get really dry from your cycling shorts? Mine do. Almost like little goose bumps show up. I wanted to hear from you ladies as to what you do to fix this nagging little problem. Normal hand lotion does not seem to do the trick.

Thanks,

Uhh. . .most decidedly NOT a woman here. . .but I had to find out what you meant by “dry hips”. . .

Normal hand lotion doesn’t work? You might try WalMat brand cream. Not lotion, but the cream that comes in a tub. . .its the same as the $12 tub branded by the makers of Eucerin, but only costs $3. My wife and I both use it daily. I have dry skin problems, especially in the winter. This stuff is magic.

Creamy vaseline, now called “Deep Moisture” vaseline. This is NOT vaseline intensive care, this is merely emulsified vaseline.

You usually find it in the baby section (they wear it under their diapers). Amazing stuff. Been using it for years. It’s cheap too.
