Paceline Chamois Butt'r Skin Lubricant Cream

Product Information

Although chamois cream is a really great tool to prevent chafing while riding, not everyone uses chamois cream nor is it always needed. Questioning my faith about chamois butt’r was the best thing I’ve ever done for chamois butt’r, because it’s not just very good at one thing — it’s very good at many things. Protecting under-butt skin during long bike rides is a very specific mission, a mission that the butt’r accomplished so capably that I’d failed to consider its other possibilities until this summer.

Arguably the biggest benefit to using chamois cream is the anti-chafing support it offers. The cream works by creating a barrier between your skin and any areas that may chafe, therefore reducing friction.Cyclists are prone to chafing below the waist, and more specifically, their inner thighs and glutes because of repetitive rubbing against their bike seat, which can lead to saddle sores. The aim of chamois cream is to reduce the friction or chaffing between your cycling shorts and your skin. Could chamois butter make an old chamois comfortable again? Yes it could. How to Use Chamois Cream So how do I apply this chamois butter? Bag Balm can be very soothing post-ride (especially if you forgot to apply chamois cream). It’s ideal for irritated skin.

I would say that a good chamois cream increases your comfort by 2 levels. Don’t expect it will resolve all your bike fit issues. Comfort level before and after applying Chamois Butt’r Coconut There are three situations when chamois cream is particularly useful: for very long rides; for indoor training, where you're on the saddle almost all the time; and for returning to cycling after a few weeks off.

This should help them reduce friction between your bib shorts, skin and saddle for longer before washing away. Men’s vs women’s chamois cream

He was heavily involved in the mountain bike boom of the late 1980s as a racer, team manager and race promoter, and that led to writing for Mountain Biking UK magazine shortly after its inception. He got the gig by phoning up the editor and telling him the magazine was rubbish and he could do better. Rather than telling him to get lost, MBUK editor Tym Manley called John’s bluff and the rest is history. Some riders cover long distances without ever needing it. Others think they benefit from using chamois cream even on short rides. The best chamois creams are claimed to be water- and sweat-resistant (look out for lanolin in the ingredients). Crotch Guard Skin Care Oil is a chamois cream that isn't because it's an oil. It's different to a barrier cream, Crotch Guard claiming that it works 'in' the skin rather than 'on' the skin. It's a difference that works. Really well. If you’re tired of the burning sensation, but not ready to give up on your activities, you might want to consider using chamois cream in those tender, and often targeted, areas.I have used several chamois creams from lesser-known brands (Morgan Blue, Force). However, after testing Chamois Butt’r Coconut, I have to admit that the difference is striking.
