Is Assos cream OK for girls too or does it irritate their delicate parts ?

[Pulls chair up and sits back 🙂 ] 😳

Just pulled this from the Amazon description which is probably taken directly from the tub or manufacturer:

Apply directly on the skin (avoid intimate areas) before each ride.

That suggests it might irritate delicate parts.

yes, I thought that, but I seem to recall a female rider on here saying she used it. I’m taking a novice friend out for a ride tomorrow and I don’t want her to get chafed…

Avoid delicate areas? Isn’t that like having a toothpaste that says “avoid tooth enamel”?

What’s her number because the stw massive needs to tell her what your REALLY like. 😀
Good to hear from you again btw.

Kettle on, biscuit anyone?

i know lady cyclists that use it without a problem, just remember it’s a cream, not a lube

funny that any of you should think you know what I’m really like :o)

just remember it’s a cream, not a lube

😯

Not a lube

Sniggers…

FYI I hadn’t contemplated dragging her into the undergrowth but now you’ve put the idea into my head 🙂

I know of women who use it but the finer details of it’s application I’ve never bothered asking.

what does it taste like ?

isnt it a bit like having a good shower with minty fresh shower gel? special tingles.

I’m taking a novice friend out for a ride tomorrow and I don’t want her to get chafed…

😆

special tingles sounds A-OK, but running around screaming “It burns, it burns!” isn’t…

yes lube up and how considerate of you IMHO
PS Please stay the forum is poorer without you

I always feel its like having someone eat a couple of packets of extra strong mints, then blow gently on your nether-regions.

Maybe you should suggest that instead? Just a thought

No!,the beast has awaken. God please forgive us!

having relayed this info to the lady she texted:
“That’ll get the tongues wagging. Does it work on nipples too?”

I’ve used it with no issues but imo/e its not worth the money compared to other chamois creams.

He shoots, he scores ! 8)

no probs, I have some but I don’t use it any longer as the Altura Summit shorts I got are so comfy it’s unnecessary. And obviously no one wants to take it off my hands 🙂

Would you though?

If the answer is no, then this thread is pointless.

If the answer is yes, then this thread is pointless without pics.

sfb, I think the instructions say not to rub on the “mucous membrane” which means, none of the sticky bits for girls and keep it away from the sticky bit of your bottom if you’re a boy. If she rides normally, then she should know which bits get sore. A female friend used it for the etape caledonia and she reported that it helped somewhat but she was still chaffed afterwards.

Latin names for body parts aren’t my strong point, so you’ll have to enlighten me 😉

Har de har har. 😀

my arsehole isn’t frikken sticky – surely that would be a symptom of some malaise (or Olestra) ?

it’ll be fun trying to avoid those areas 🙂

It’s fine. ‘Sticky bits’ ?

Sticky bits’ ?

I believe ladies given to cardies are no longer troubled by such emmissions…

Don’t forget to wash your hands after you’ve applied it, you don’t know where she’s been.

You know what I meant 🙂

You know what I meant

I am not privy to such afflictions…

If she rides normally, then she should know which bits get sore.

that’s the whole point, she’s a novice and hasn’t ridden a bike for decades, so I want to make the outing as trouble-free as possible 🙂

I can picture it now….
Simon approaches with camera in one hand and big tin of “lube” in the other….
I don’t think we’ll see her out on another ride 🙁

I can picture it now….

you may be able to picture your own inept fumbling but you have no concept of mine 🙂

I trust you’ll not be double dipping…

I tried it – it was horrible! All burning and hot, I had to wash it off, pronto, and change shorts. Yuk. (and that was not on any sticky bits) I use good padded shorts, vaseline or the light pink germolene which is slightly greasy (for slip-factor) but more importantly, has a local anaesthetic – it’s brilliant for v long rides.
