Chamois creams.

[Dogberry]

Has anyone any experience / thoughts on this stuff ?

Sudocream or Vaseline is just as good as any Chamois Cream.

 

[rb58]

Yep, Sudocreme.

I've no experience of chamois cremes at all.

Are they (and Sudocreme) applied to shorts and 'lower region' ?

I use ASSOS (no pun intended) and have found it makes my longer rides much more comfortable. I would recommend it, and although not cheap, it goes a long way (figuratively speaking)

Assos made this bearable, and for me it was a big day out

Sudocrem slowly making things better here. Used before during a ride and after a shower

I don't agree with that, certainly not in my case although sudocream is great to help the healing process.

1+ Assos cream is excellent but rather expensive.

I've experimenting with Waitroses Baby Bottom Butter for the last 6 months and it seems to be working.

Oh, and a bit of sudocrem if I need to score a bullseye.....

Never had a problem with my bottom. I guess it's just naturally built to ride for hours.

Way too much I have summarised my experiences here for what it is worth.

Assos or Rapha both very good.

I have the Elite cream. Asked for Assos for Xmas, but got this. Seems very good
