Anti Chaffing Cream

[Undy]

Being new to cycling I had never heard of Anti Chaffing Cream but my misses bought me some. I felt a bit of a perv slapping it on but WOW, I mean just WOW.

Why isn't there a sticky extolling the virtues of Chamois cream? lol

There are quite a lot of threads extolling the virtues of that cream and others. I've never used it myself, but if it works, then it's great

I have some but not used it as yet, probably will in the spring.

Good fitting shorts and a decent saddle is a must, chamois creams serve to extend mileage.

I think because it's "horses for courses". I use a little on long journeys (50+ miles) but I find there's no need on my commute (20 miles each way). However everyone's physiology is different so not everyone will find it benefits them in the same way, or even at all.
But yes, if it works for you then carry on using it... Also means your wife will never have to struggle to find something to buy you got Christmas!

I used to use sudocreme, but MrsPK bought some Assos - it has a surprising Tingle inducing effect!

I like it too.
Anything over 15-20 miles and it's slapped on

Chamois Butt'r for mine, because that's mainly what my LBS has, also quite good about freebies at events. I use it for rides over 50km.

I use sudocream, not for its lubrication really more for its anti bac properties, i find using it before stops saddle sores. i dont tend to get chaffing as use a good pair of bibs and a saddle that my ass it used to

I Like Assos it has worked wonders at keeping me free from sores.

Does Sudocreme not make you smell like you have Nappy Rash??

Assos is all I have tried. Was on offer and works for me. No need to risk anything else.

As above, on rides over 30 miles only for me. No point under that and 30 mile planned rides always end up longer!

Sudocrem is fine, Assos is the nuts.

 

[Aunty Tyke]

Sudocrem is very effective and not smelly!
