I love Chamois Buttr!!!!

[bikermomof2]

44 yr old mom who began riding summer of 2006 when I realized I could burn more calories on bike than on treadmill and actually enjoy doing it! Took a 24 mile ride two days ago (first day of the dreaded monthly visitor) w/PI shorts and a maxi pad. HUGE MISTAKE - do not do this- it is painful the rest of that day and the next.

Found this website and read about others with saddle sores. Yippee - I'm not alone! Also read about Chamois Buttr- used it today (2 days later) for 24 miler and no pain at all. Not during the ride and not after. Many, many thanks for all the other biker chicks who freely give info to us novice riders! I'll keep reading as I keep encountering different issues.

BTW - Terry Butterfly seat on my roadbike.

Some folks like the Instead Cups or Diva Cups during the monthly visitation.

I too am a recent finder of the Butter of Chamois - what will they think of next?!

You might also like Body Glide, my other favourite personal lubricant. Eliminates Chub Rub right away!

+ a million!!! So many ouchy years of being hamburger "down there" all the time. Chamois Butt'r rocks!

Little tip: Get a 1/2 oz screwtop jar from The Container Store - or cut a contact lens case in half. Now you have a pocket-friendly container for extra Chamois Butt'r on the road when you have to pee and wipe the lube off.

I like to bring along 1-2 of the the handy dandy Chamois Butt'r refill packs TE sells. They are nice and small so fit in the rear shirt pocket nicely.

Unfortunately the CB refill packets are very similar in shape to gel packs so you have to be really careful to look before you bite the top off and guzzle...

The dreaded monthly visitor at my house is the guy who reads the electric meter.
