TMI, but I could use some advice...

So we did Annie last night. Since I got past a certain point in my weight loss (and I still have a LOT more to lose), any time I do a lot of sit ups at once I end up rubbing a spot on my butt raw. Like, RAW. It's just below my tailbone and holy CRAP does it hurt. I have no idea what to do about it; I LIKE doing sit ups, but it takes a couple weeks for the dang spot to heal and it's really uncomfortable for a good week. Am I a freak of nature or does this happen to other people? How do I stop it from happening again?
I cannot believe I'm posting this on a forum.

I've seen a lot of people refer to the sit up *kitten* rash, but I've never had one! Are you doing them on a mat with an ab mat to support your back?0

Baby powder or corn starch your *kitten* before you go.
Warning though... It will make you look like you are farting chalk everytime you move.
I also have the baby powder srapy deoderant... I spray said area and I no longer get raw... Actual powder works best, but looks interesting. If you are not weird about the appearance of chalk farts... Powder it up girl.
I got to a point where I told everyone that I powdered the Twin Peaks and Grand Canyon. :happy:
A girls gotta do what a girls gotta do.

Yep, ab-mat situps, on top of a yoga mat.

Best. Post. Ever. I have no issues with chalk farts if it will stop this horrifying butt pain. That may be the weirdest sentence I've ever typed in my life.0 -

LOL... I am a girl who does not believe in the term TMI. I throw it all out there.
Last night the coach said how the 10# plates are so limp... I said limp like a granny's boobies.... The gym burst out in laughter followed with WHAT?! I said... Hey, I can say that cuz I AM a granny.... Which got a whole lot more laughs... followed by some...ugh..TMIs!0 -
Um..we're the same age. You are NOT ALLOWED to be a granny. That is all.0

^^^^ This. I can attest to the chalk farts, but who the heck cares? I would look for something that is specific for moisture and rashes. I use this one, and I love it.

Now I'm wondering if I'm doing them wrong since I DON'T get *kitten* rash!0

I had this happen to me once but ever since I started using a yoga mat it has not been an issue. The floor at my gym is molded rubber with grooves which may have contributed to the issue.
But yeah, it sucks.0 -

Being a grandma is the best revenge! Bwahahahaha!
Rosie (granddaughter) was misbehaving and grandpa went to reprimand her... I said...why are you disciplining her? You are grandpa! Give her a Kitkat and tell her good job. My daughter was so pissed...so he kept giving her more and more Kitkats.
Ahhh.0 -
And white *kitten* angels. Woot!Baby powder or corn starch your *kitten* before you go.

Hello, my freaky darlings. :P
I've not had that problem, but it sounds like it was addressed already. I love that so many people in this community are so free with their words and experiences--both here in the CF forums and in my CF box.0 -

Agree!! It's nice to know that the day I piss myself attempting a squat PR, I won't have to hold back.0 -
Can't forget the inevitable leakage during double unders. Nobody escapes that !0

Yep happens when your Box has a rubber mat floor. Use an abmat or a yoga/gym mat. Even a folded towel will help.
...oooooor you could just CHALK DAT *kitten*! :huh:0 -

Men have the good fortune to have a prostate... so never pissed myself. But the squat farts... oh yes... the squat farts.0 -
Yep, I get Crossfit Butt Rash every time we more than a few situps. The shower after brings tears to my eyes.
I just started using Glide on my bum. It's made for runners to prevent friction/chaffing (i.e. bloody nipples, chub rub thigh rash). It looks like a stick deodorant. Works wonders!
The first time I did Annie was the day before my colonscopy (since we have already entered TMI land). I felt like I had to explain to the doc why I had a huge, bloody rash on my bum. I'm not sure he bought my explanation. :blushing: :blushing:0 -

See......I get the sit up farts. So. Much. Pressure. And then there's the way the legs are placed during.....
Well, "TMI" is listed on the Topic....guess if you didn't want to know...you shouldn't have entered. 0 -
and even more TMI and I am not sure if I am alone in this, but the handstand kip queefs. Kid you not. Doesn't happen all of the time but there are just some days where it is like every single damn HSPU. For those of you working your way up to them, prepare yourselves!0

Day. Made.0 -
Oh good Gods, I pee myself every damn time I jump rope. I've taken to wearing pads to the box. Apparently there was a down-side to birthing 3 11# babies. :noway:0

I am sitting at my desk LMAO...hoping nobody asks what's so funny.

Tears, yep. I actually screamed when the soap hit it. So where does one find Glide?0 -

I didn't even know that was possible! I haven't mastered a handstand yet. I'll make sure to work as close to the speaker as possible to drown out the noise. :ohwell:0 -

YES! This! It's the worst! I don't even think there is a solution. It's just...so embarrassing.
I also get sit-up rash. :-(0 -

I had no babies, but my bladder still likes to release when I'm doing singles (haven't mastered the DU). I don't know what' its excuse is, but I make sure I run to the restroom right before we start.....and wear dark pants.
What I hate is when we have jump rope AND then situps in the same WOD...I'll tinkle with the jump rope, and then I feel like I'm displaying it with my situp.0 -

oh thank goodness. I thought I might be the only one out there. The best and closest thing I have found to a solution is just keeping my core really really tight from start to finish. There are still days though, where I'll do that and it continues to happen.0 -

yep... felt that coming on when I was doing singles at a furious pace (haven't made it to DU yet)... I thought I better wear a pad when I see DUs in the WOD! :noway:0 -
monkey butt. ugh. we talk about this openly at my box.
my husband's tailbone actually sticks out a lot, so he gets it REALLYYYYY bad. he has a permanent scab on his butt.
he either resorts to using the GHD instead or uses a rolled up yoga mat for some extra padding. he tried body glide (anti chafing stuff) and baby powder also. he says the yoga mat helps the most.
i usually don't get it unless we're doing a 200 sit up cash out or something.0 -
:laugh: :flowerforyou:
Thanks for the laughs, guys!!0
