Who uses their own Chamois Cream recipe ?

[matticus]

does it [Sudocrem] not make an almighty mess of your chamois pad ?

No, it's designed for a baby's bum, it washes out of clothing, nappies etc. on a normal wash.

I use Sudocrem on tours but nothing the rest of the time. £5.99/400g.

Aside from the time and faffing around I wouldn't risk applying a homemade concoction to that area of my body.

Yes, I don't know why people are sniffy about Sudocrem. I really think it's because it's cheap, and "Cycling stuff MUST be better." Madness!

It's really good, I'd recommend everyone try it before the over-priced shoot .... except that I've since discovered Conotrane! It's better AND cheaper Slightly harder to find, but it's in most UK chemists. Also designed/tested on babies.

If you want value for money, then look no further than Udder Cream as used by farmers for decades.

100 miles before and not a mark on my bahookie .

 

[matticus]

Well when you've done over 350 miles in 24hours (all on flattish roads in about the same position), get back to us. :P

 

[MrGrumpy]

LOL yes I knew that would be the come back. Still think it would matter not a jot if your @rse is gonna smart it will soon enough but not at mile 300 !

The only time I've had anything sore was when I was being really lazy one week and didn't wash my commuting shorts.
