Where you can and where you can't apply Chamois Butt'r?????

[FreshNewbie]

Hi All!

As I been reading this forum I came to realize that many female riders have the same problem with saddle sores and etc. Since I changed the seat on my bike to the one with the cutout ( thanx to the wonderful advice i found here) I been having less problems, however I know it would probably be a good idea to try out that Chamois Butt'r that everybody is so pleased with. So, I have a question : can you actually apply Chamois Butt'r to the private area ( and i dont mean rear area :-) ) ??????

I don't know about that exact product but I've been known to apply plain vaseline to reduce chafing Down There. But with my new saddle that's not really a problem any more, so I just use my Bag Balm in the crevices that do chafe, mostly the butt-thigh junction. I do NOT think you'd want to use Bag Balm on any sensitive skin though!

Most certainly NOT I tried baby cream it seemed to work, maybe I should just stick to that

good question! i know i don't... i put right next to that area... and further back on my butt.. don't know if that's right or not! i've always wondered if i'm putting it on correctly!

I would figure that applying such products to delicate areas would cause some sort of problems down there.

I put it all over... from front to back... especially on long rides... when I ride a century you could say I'm "slip slidin' away"... I've never experienced any discomfort anywhere from lathering that stuff on!
