This is a tip, gear, health, whatever you call it topic, so just posting here in "open"...
OK, I know we have tons of threads on TE about chamois cream. I have read many. But looking for a specific combo in a product. If you know of the thread already, just post the link, purty please.
Chamois cream that does not have parabens, AND does not have witch-hazel astringent...
Any suggestions?
I love my Chamois Butt'r. However, I learned about the whole paraben issue here on TE. My mom has had b-ca twice. I already have some funky-lumpy-bumpy stuff I get diag mammos for in one breast. So, I tried to look for something else without parabens (found in large amount of b-ca tumors, btw).
Next up, I tried Belgium Butter. Found via TE, and Bicycling Mag article written by the Fit Chick. Noteworthy cuz it's "paraben free". OK, fine. BUT... it has witch-hazel.
Witch-hazel is a drying astringen. Which is OK on the chaffing thing in general. But, not so great if you already have your own drying issues with changing hormones and peri-menapause. Plus, the witch-hazel tingles and burns.
Assoss cream has this tingling and burning thing too.
From lbs, I found Udder Butter. But, re-read the label, and more parabens.
Pick your poison... burn and tingle today--without cancer tomorrow; or be comfortable today, and die of cancer tomorrow. Nice, eh?
Since I want to ride, I've gone back to Chamois Butt'r on pain free "today".
Any other ideas?...let's hear 'em.
