I only use chamois cream for longer rides and this works.
Great value and does not both sensitive skin. I use this riding 5-6 days a week.
Button Hole is another excellent chamois cream. Comparable to other quality creams on the market as it works well and does what it is intended for. I would have given it 5 stars, but the peppermint scent is too intense for me.
Goes on in the morning and stays all day. Best cream ive used.
I kept suffering from saddle sores, so I looked into buying chamois cream.
To put it simply, I havent had a saddle sore since.

I only use chamois cream on rides over an hour on the trainer or outside. It has a pleasant smell and feel.
Have used them all this one works best for me. Rode 11,000 miles last year and won't ride without Button Hole chamois cream.
Use this on every ride. Best product for me. Besides it has a nice scent and has a cooling effect when applied.
Like aCheastyBoy I started developing saddle sores. I tried four other products without relief, with one or two it seemed to get worse. After reading readers comments about this product I thought I would give it a try. It really works and I now look forward to riding again. Very Big Thanks to all who took the time to share their results of this product.
I just completed a one day 400K ride, 250 miles. The temp. was in the 90's the wind was 20-30mph. The steepest grade was 12%. I am 70 years old so not an easy ride. Buttonhole is a amazing product I put new on appox. every 50 miles and came in with no soreness. I wouldn't do any ride with out Buttonhole.
In 2012 I rode 8,940 miles so I can say you need this product!!
Works well and is on par with the DZNuts I have been using. I do not particularly like the scent, but I do like the jar it comes in. This packaging lets you use all the cream you purchased, those that come in a tube always leave a whole lot behind.
Seems to lubricate well, better than some other products I've used. Strong menthol and peppermint smell makes me wonder about attracting bears where I ride in the Tetons. I'll just have to go faster.
Tried this because of the reviews here. It's very soothing. I still have some packets of another brand that are portable and used some halfway through a ride yesterday and noticed that it irritated my skin. I will be passing that along to someone I know uses it. This is so gentle and soothing I even use a small amount after a shower to calm irritation caused by long miles.
There's really no comparison between this, Assos, Relief, or Chamois Butter. In my experience this lasts the longest, and uh, I guess the term would be lubricates the best. It helps that it's sized generously, so that helps relieve concerns about using too much of the expensive stuff. I think the only main other cream I haven't tried is DZ Nuts, but based on the size and price of that stuff, and how well this works, there's no need.
Having first tried Vaseline and Bag Balm I started looking for something that wouldn't turn my chamois/bathtub into an oil slick. This stuff seems to work well, comes out in the wash, and smells nice to boot. Will buy again.
This is it. Refreshing mint or something tingly without burning your privates off. I ride a lot of hard miles and I never leave home without my Buttonhole!
The formulation of cream results in a very refreshing, clean feeling product. the consistency of the cream is buttery smooth and feels high quality. However, to me, it lacks the lasting ability to provide lubrication over any distance. Like most hand creams, it loses viscosity as it heats up in your chamois. I suppose that is becuase it is a cream vs a salve-type of product, which is what I use on a regular basis. The Enzo's is refreshing, and I since I purchased it I use it in addition to my stand-by product for the peppermint and menthol soothingcooling properties. Again, terrific cream in so far as creams go, but if you need a protective layer between you and your shorts or if you tend to chafe, then I would steer clear and get a heavier non-cream style product.
Okay, it smells like peppermint breath freshner and who out there prefers tic tacs over fine chocolate? But it's half the price and you get twice as much! And when you live in the not idyllic weather of a flyover state, many hours of training are to be had indoors.
I've tried them all. My search is over. I will try different kinds of chain lube but I won't even THINK of using anything else. After using this stuff I gave my tubes and jars of unused chamois cream away.
It goes on thick and stays where you put it. No mess, no fuss It lasts through road races and long training rides. If I had a 100 miler I used to carry a little tube filled with chamois cream just in case. With Buttonhole there is no need. It lasts all day. It washes off in the post-ride shower.
For some unknown reason, I started developing saddle sores - not fun. Tried this based on a recommendation at my LBS. This is a better deal and works just as well as the more expensive competitor's product that starts with an A (I've used that one and it also works well). The ButtonHole cream is non-greasy and the smell doesn't bother me. Works great - I'm a permanent convert.
