What is the Butt'r for? I can't get anybody to answer me that in a serious answer.

Keeping your tush and girl bits more comfortable while riding. Some people don't need anything, others of us swear by some sort of lube or cream on any of the parts that come in pressurized contact with our saddles. Many of these products will inhibit bacteria and yeast, too--things that grow happily in such a dark, warm, moist environment.
:D heh.
Information OVERLOAD!!! New to this cycling thing. My DH has been at it for several years and finally got me to join him. Having some issues "down there" and had no idea how to "toughen" it up. So grateful for logging on here to find out what real women do. My DH has tried to "imagine" what I'm feeling. Told him to rub a cheese grater against his parts and it might be the same. :D
I'm looking forward to trying some of the things you all have posted.
Not sure if it's been covered or not...a lot to catch up on...
What about all the moisture related lubricants and the dreaded yeastie beasties???
Have finally ordered this.
Is there anything "bad" in the ingredients for Body Glide? It doesn't seem to have parabens, and my eyes started crossing when I started looking up the other ingredients. I seem to need a little more than just Body Glide on the chamois, but it is certainly better than nothing.
I am hopeful enough for That Butt Stuff that I bought two tubes of it - but it is also nice to know what I can purchase locally should I run out without time for a reorder before my next long ride and Body Glide seems available almost anywhere. Of course, there is always pure shea butter :)
I don't think there's anything in Body Glide that's "bad." Of course, I tend to be a little lax in this department. But, we had a discussion about Body Glide awhile ago and it seemed Body Glide met everyone's approval. I use it almost exclusively, and you can buy it in lots of places.
I had to order the Lady Monkey Butt powder at Ace Hardware. Found the regular stuff at Rite Aid, though. That was a little embarrassing to go into the hardware store I've been going to for many years and ask for that... but the guy told me that he couldn't keep the stuff on the shelves when he worked at Ace in Florida. And, that people there were "upset" that the word butt was out where kids could see.
None of the ingredients in Body Glide are rated higher than 1 or 2 by EWG, IIRC. I did look it up, I'm at high risk and I feel safe using it. And they do label it as a chamois cream now.
For me, it burns VERY slightly on the tender parts. It's so slight that it's not really an issue at all, and if I wasn't completely happy with shea butter, I might still be using Body Glide.
