I've tried all kinds of solutions for, what are becoming, chronic saddle sores - many cheap to expensive bibs, creams, ointments, combos of those ... nothing worked. This was on top of keeping my bibs very clean.
I came across your video about 2 weeks ago while dealing with another bout of them and figured, why not... This WORKS - Even with constant cycling over 7 days, they slowly faded away. They're not completely gone yet but damn close and I can ride with no pain.
THANK YOU for sharing this Davide!!!!
Glad it could help. Safe rides!
I have been through a very difficult situation during the last 8 days due to a serious irritation (bruising) on my butts after a 6 hours ride.I have stopped riding until this irritation is cured. However, after watching this video and reading the comments bellow, I ordered the Tea Tree oil and we'll see...I will be back to describe my experience.
Try if it works for you. If you have irritation also a chamois cream should help
@@DavideTravelli For the time being I am using Arnica cream following the instructions of my dermatologist and it seems to be cured little by little. As about the chamoi cream, I began using it just that day of the 6 hours ride but I think made a mistake: I followed the instructions of the cream factory and applied cream only on my skin while I should have applied cream on the pad too.
Absolutely worked for me. My saddle sores were so bad they were ruining my rides and even affected my running. Just 10 days into two-a-day treatments with tea tree oil all but cleared it up. Looking forward to ramping my mileage way up. By the way, tried this on my feet too because I was running enough to screw up some toenails. Worked just fine. Thank you for the tip.
I'm glad it worked! Safe rides 💪
Thank you Davide...great info!
Ciao Jerry, welcome. Glad it was helpful!
I think I've never commented a video in the forever years I spent on youtube...
This is the first one. because this is AMAZING.
I've had so many saddle sores. Commuting to work and ride in the weekends so no rest days.
The saddle sores don't get rest days either and they just staaaaay then.
I did this 1 day . Pain was gone....
Unbelievable.
Thx dude.
Hey Char! Thank you for the feedback and I'm really glad it works for you too. Safe rides 👊
Always looking for tips for saddle sore prevention! 🙌
Cheers, let me know how you get on!
Thanks, it was tingly feeling at first.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you Davide for the helpful advice. We will try it and see how it works.
Thank you and welcome. Let me know how you get on!
Thanks for advice, I have only been riding for a year, about every other day, for 20 miles. And just developed some painful saddle sores. Will try this!
Ah sorry to hear this. Hope you can get back riding your bike painless!
Excellent video, I agree wholeheartedly. Tea tree oil also works excellent for infected cuticles around your finger and a toenails. It works very fast.
Thank you! Yeah those drops are quite handy 👊
Thanks
You’re welcome!
Thanks for this advise, I have to cycle to work everyday. On very hot days I perspire more than usual and this is what happened. I will try this natural solution!
Hope it works for you as well!
Thank you so much for this advice. I also use tee tree oil for athlete's foot, usually, the itch is gone in two days.
You’re very welcome Tiago!
David, I’m about to go on a 7 day tour. After I have applied the tea tree oil, do I them apply chamois cream on top of the oil? Should I apply the chamois cream to just my chamois? What do you do? Thanks for the great video! Cheers
You probably don’t need the chamois cream but igf you wanna be on the safe side you could use it the first few days and then stop and see what happens
Thanks Davide, do you dilute it in any way or just use it as it comes?
Hey Víktor! I just use it pure, a couple of 2/3 drops each time.
Ciao Davide, quale gps utilizzi? Sto valutando il garmin 1030 plus. Grazie.

Do you use it before every ride or just when you Are getting saddle sore? Can you use the tea tree oil with chamois cream?
You can use it before and after every ride. If you're at home after your post-ride shower or if you're bike travelling I usually clean up the sit bones area with a wet wipe when in my tent and then apply a few drops. You can use it in conjunction with chamois cream as well but unless there is a problem with either your saddle, saddle position or shorts if you cycle on an almost daily basis you will find you wont be needing chamois cream and just tea tree oil should be sufficient. Experiment after a while to avoid using chamois cream and see how it goes for you.
So t3 essential oil? Tea tree?
Tea tree oil
