chafing but no chamios cream available

Lemon Curd anyone?

Well, I have just mixed the batch - following instructions from the link provided by endoman. It was easy enough to do (although I would recommend finding something bigger to make the mix in, than a used 1 litre ice cream tub ). Consistency seems about right (I only used approx 35ml witchazel and less than 10ml essential oil). It smells ok, if a slightly antisepticy... I used tea tree oil, as my essential oil of choice.

I am out for a spin later this afternoon, so I shall smear it liberally where the sun don't shine and report back after the ride

Well done. But please - no pictures.

the sudocreme is best going on afterwards to treat the chafing, not during the ride. During the rise use vaseline / assos or similar.

I just sprinkle with talc before I get dressed, in five years, I've yet to have any chaffing what-so-ever

same here until I did 760 miles over 10 days living out of a tent. Anyone doing extreme distances without the comfort of home living is at risk. At home no issues, shower when I get into work, shower when I get home, a bit of talc of necessary and bobs your uncle.

Intended pun?

Pics are a no-no... you have nothing to fear!

2 things -

1. do you really smear this greasy stuff inside your shorts and then ... ew! ... put them on and then --- ew, ew! ... go for a long ride?
2. Poundland has 1/2kg aqueous cream. Picked it up last weekend as a low-allergenic cosmetic.

I use the assoss stuff, it really doesn't work out that expensive in the long run!

+1 on NOT using sudocrem as a chamois cream.

Liberal lashings of Worcester Sauce - you'll soon forget about the minor smarting coming from a small bit of chafing..............
