Am I the only person who actually applies these to the chamois ? I use either Bodyglide or Assos cream, which I believe are both petroleum free... Question for those who apply it to body and not chamois -- did you try applying to chamois first, and find that applying to body was more effective, or did you more or less arbitrarily choose an application site (as I did), then it became habit?

Wondering if I should experiment -- but it actually works pretty well to apply to the chamois.
