 is, what do people (women) wear for underwear and bras that don't
 rip skin off! And more importantly where do you get it? I succeeded
 in solving the horses rubbing problems, now it's my turn. HELP! >>

My preferred outfit for riding is a pair of cotton (not nylon!) lycra riding 
tights with polar fleece lining in the crotch and seat and on the inside of 
the knees.  No undies underneath.  Half chaps over Ariat boots.  I manage 
very well with this outfit, the notable exception being one 5-day ride on a 
borrowed horse who moved in such a way as to rub me absolutely bloody.  
(Ouch!!!)  I have no problem with the smoother moving of our horses.  A rough 
going horse can cause a lot of discomfort.  I don't have a bra problem, but 
then I haven't an ample figure.  Some women like the various cotton sports 
bras, which do not flatter, but do bind the bust close to the body to prevent 
bouncing.
