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…
its not worth the money compared to other chamois creams
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 🙂
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.
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.
