I've been using this for the past couple months and it has worked very well at quieting down angry skin after consecutive days of long rides. I also had it with me at the beach and it helped to ward off swimsuit chafing too.
It's mildly but pleasantly herbally-scented, and it goes on smooth. It's somewhere between chapstick and petroleum jelly in consistency. I like that it's natural, so I don't worry about putting it on regularly. My only gripe might be the value - I'm halfway through my tiny jar already :/ I will probably buy more when I run out - hopefully I can get it on sale!
Doc's Saddle Ointment shouldn't be mistaken with actual chamois cream, because it's not. But it is fantastic to use post-ride to prevent and sooth saddle sores. I use it in addition to Doc's chamois cream, particularly when I'm putting in 10 or more hours a week, and this helps prevent issues with saddle sores. Also, the smell is an added bonus. My only complaint is that it is a little bit greasy, but is worth it for the benefits.
Bought this to help heal saddle sores after seven days of long rides (50-80 miles) up and down scenic mountain roads. Took time and some rest days but seems to have worked well. Now use it after every long ride. A little goes a long way.
Yep.... your ass will feel (and smell better, sorry tmi)! Fellow cyclist of 30 years recommended I get some as I developed a saddle sore this summer after many hours on the bike. Treated the sore with some Ichthammol Ointment first, which drew out the funk, then used Docs which really soothed the whole ares. Used the rest of the summer with no sores.
Works great!
I started using Doc's Chamois Creme, so I am not using this at all for saddle sores or anything like that. Soooo I started using it on dry heels and wow what a soothing ointment. And my heels are thanking Doc's.
I ride aprox. 200miles a week, i was starting get a few sores from this summer California heat. This product got rid of my issue in 2-3 days. Quite happy with it. I am a retired guy who rides alot in my own time.
Natural ingredients make this ointment a soothing and healing salve. Between rides any soreness and slight abrasions quickly heal and you can be good to go.
Over the years I've used many ointments and salves for "Chimpanzee Butt" and nothing is as good as Doc's Skincare Ointment. It really works.
