Hi Guys,
Doing a long run (95 miles) on the mountainbike in a couple of weeks and reckon there may be the danger of suffering some chaffage!
Are these botty creams any good? if so Which one and what are the benefits (pain releif etc)
Thanks Yous
Chris
Sudocrem. Anyone that tells you that there is anything better is selling snake oil.
Assos.
Vaseline.
second the sudocrem
Chip fat,from the night before.
got sudocream for the kiddies bum bums but thought it was a barrier cream and not really lubrication to stop chaffage?
It is barrier cream, but I'm sure it stops the chaffage almost as well, by virtue of lubrication. How well does it wash out of chamois though?
I have a pot of assos, brilliant stuff, not sticky like I'd imaging sudocrem is either.
Udderly smooth chamois cream works for me. cheaper than assos I think.
Sudocrem, the ultimate minty arse lard
Assos.
Sudocrem has kept me chaffage-free for many a big ride.
Sudocream, so I've been told by a cycling pharmacist (of the official kind: I mean a qualified pharmacist who cycles...) isn't ideal as it's paraffin wax based and does not let the skin breathe.
udderly smooth
Assos for the tingley ring feeling 
Snake Oil
Dry weather = Vaseline
Wet weather = Johnson's baby oil
Sore after = Sudocream
Used this for 25 (cough) years and it's always worked for me YMMV
oooh, tingly ring sounds good!!!
sudochrem is for when you you didn't use assos/o-zone/udderly smooth.
it's not chamois creme.
Assos (and I wouldn't do over an hour ride without it)
the orange oil that dripped out of last nights doner.....
I have considered using aqueous cream. Need to compare the ingredients list to other chamois creams. Otherwise, Assos or Udderly Smooth.
I always thought the idea of chamois cream was bollocks until I tried it last year. Used to get rubbed a lot - had nothing since I started creaming up.
I must have an arse like a blacksmith's apron because I've never had chaffing even on the 60+ day tour a couple of years ago.
I only ever wear Endura cotton knickers under my shorts though - they are the shizzle.
I doubt aqeuous would work as you will absorb it pretty quickly and it will "dissolve" in crack sweat.
Kamilosan.
It smells like honey too, which is a bonus.
I'm shocked and appalled at the lack of MTFU in these posts!
Chili oil.
Then mtfu.
I'm ginger so hence would be impervious to chilli oil due to the heat generated in the pu be /hairy ass area anyway

Chili oil.Then mtfu.
Atta girl, you tellem! 
MTFU
I normally use a wasps nest firmly placed in my crack before setting off. that's gonna take your mind off any chaffage!
Pakora/Kebab sauce

although I remember half the campsite at 24/12 saw your freshly lubed bollocks as part of your discovering this.
PMSL @ julian 
Sandblasting grit with grease - increases the clearances between the parts that chafe. 
Try bepanthen, its a nappy rash cream thats great, ive used it for years. Its also great for healing fresh tattoos, if your that way inclined.
Assos.
Never tried sudocream, but given that a tub of assos will last you six months, whats the point for a sake of a few quid?
