Chamois cream

[Andy_G]

I done a 6 hour stint on the saddle Yesterday, and i didnt feel to bad below but my happy sacks aint quite as happy, so i th ought i might aswell invest in chamois cream.
Can anyone recommend one, im looking at the Assos one or the Rapha one.

I make my own;

Own brand tub of E45 equivalent 500ml
250ml of Sudocrem
Tea tree oil - a few drops
Essential oils - a few drops

Mix in a big bowl and put back into the tubs that are now empty. Lasts for ages and costs much, much less than the commercial ones.

Assos imparts a glowiness to your bulbs but once you've ridden a while I haven't found it any better than straight sudocrem.

Sudocreme or Vaseline has got me through many long distance rides.

I got saddle sores using sudocreme and so went back to assos.
No probs since.

Vaseline but its messy. Sudocreme for after the shower.

Another vote for Assos Chamois creme here

Assos man myself. I find Sudocream slightly tackey, whereas Assos is very slippery (during hot weather I also add some on the back of my knees, underarms, and the crease of the elbow, as I've found the drying sweat can cause rub here too).

Dont use cream, I just use a liner under my shorts !
10000 miles in the last year and chaff free
Never liked the feeling of going out with soggy bits

 

[BrianEvesham]

Sudocream works for me.

 

[Trail Child]

Yet another for Assos.

 

[GrumpyGregry]

Assos ftw aboard the bike and sudocreme post bath/shower.

work colleagues view my tubs with suspicion

Go to the chemist and ask for CONOTRANE its only about £1.70 per tube and works very well
