This is a good chamois cream. I use it for my rides that last 2-3 hours or for additional protection during longer rides. It is easy to apply, just squeeze it out of the tube onto your chamois. I find it tends to get absorbed or used up during longer rides and so I need to reapply. Overall good quality at a fair price.
Not much fancy about it but does the job in reducing chafing and hot spots. Apply to yourself, the chamois or both. One application seems good for a 100 mile day. But having some extra on hand probably a good idea! I buy the large tube and keep a small amount on the bike in a small zip lock freezer bag. Rinses from hands quite fast with plain water.
This is by far one of the best chamois products on the market, try the Euro style if you are looking for the same protection with a different twist!
I've used this for several years for racing, week-long epic tours, and 1-day monster climbing events. One good application usually lasts for the entire ride and I get no abrasion. Shorts clean-up very well and this product is extremely cost-effective compared to other quality chamois creams. Thumbs up!
I use it on rides longer than 25 miles, works great I would recommend it.
Chamois cream, such a personal choice... I don't care for the ones that contain menthol or other skin-tingly additives. Original Chamois ButtR is is the crotch lube with nothing extra, just a thick lotion preparation with no fragrance.
Use this product at the start and during your long rides to prevent chafing and saddle sores. It goes on your butt, not the chamois, just about where your thigh reaches your butt. That's where the saddle sores develop. Keep a small container or package of this product in your bag and at each rest stop re-apply using the good 'ol three finger swipe technique. It's water soluble and not greasy like a petroleum product, such as Vaseline.
And, by the way, if you ever develop a saddle sore apply hot compresses to that bugger as often as you can or it will take on a life of its own.
For those centuries or other long rides, apply directly to bike short chamois. Soothing lubrication without a mess to deal with after the ride. Worked exceptionally well for the STP Seattle to Portland 205 mile ride. Is a good value at regular price compared to other products but particularly valued when ChamoisButtR is on sale!
