Anyone use chamois butter? How? What kind? And why?
Just curious...I never really ride over 40 miles at a time and never thought to try it...

yep I use it for any ride over 50 miles... keeps chafing away which makes for a far more comfortable ride!
There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness".

I use it for any ride over about 20-24 miles. Chamois Butt'r for me! Doesn't prevent the occasional saddle sore, but does help with chafing/rawness.

Funny - I've never used it for any length ride (up to and including centuries), and I haven't had any chafing problems.

I've never used it... neither in my young day racing (70's) or now in my 2nd childhood
Mentally I can't get past the "squoosh" factor when you first pull up your drawers. I blame that on exceptional potty training
Physically, I wear shorts with the smallest chamois I can find, currently PI Sugar Shorts and ride a saddle (Koobi SI Classic) that NEVER gives me pain issues.
spazzno regrets!
