As the title says. Don't fret, I'll apply it myself.
Is Sudocreme just as good as the cycling specific lubes on longer distance rides?

I never bother - decent shorts are fine with the synthetic inserts. Sudocrem for 'rubs' etc as it's good for repairs, but a bit sticky.

I used to use Atrixo with natural chammys - that's good.

I've not used anything pre/during a long ride before, but my aging nether regions need a bit of 'something' after a ride (usually a bit of E45 after a shower.)
I'll try a few different salves and unction to see which works best..

Just get a Brooks saddle, job done.
Really??

So you would advise the OP that he pays £70+ for a saddle that can take months to break in and that may never suit him. Instead of paying a couple of pounds for a tube of cream.

Good advice that.

I use a hand barrier cream and also a nappy rash cream with zinc in it. I think you can use almost anything providing you remember to stop and reapply it occasionally. Also stopping and readjusting your shorts when you feel it starting to rub is a good idea. Im sure Im not the only one who just rides through it, when stopping for a couple of minutes and sorting it out would be the wiser move.
