Greyhound Juice...Bag Balm??

[GLC1968]

I use the Assos cream and I apply it directly to the chamois. I only use it for long rides (50 miles or longer). It helps both with the heat and chaffing in the girly bits, and with general friction. I tried applying it to my body, but I just didn't feel comfortable slathering it on the girly bits. If I had just one rubbing area, it would make sense to apply to that area, but since for me, it's an overall help, it works best on the chamois.

And its WAY better for use with smooth chamois. I have a pair of old PI's that have a textured chamois (kind of like cordoroy) and it does not work well with the cream.

That sounds EXACTLY what I need, thank you! I'm going to get that cream. My cycling shorts have that textured chamois and it's rough....fffff My PI knickers are smooth though, but I guess not smooth enough! Thank you for the advice!!
I guess the article in Bicycling magazine this month regarding using the Greyhound juice..."a pinch between your cheeks" must have been inaccurate, glad I didn't get that.

I just checked the greyhound juice website and they now make a chamois cream in addition to their original products (heat cream). the visual of a "pinch between the cheeks" with the heat cream cracked me up -- it sure would make you go fast!!!

HAHA, Oh, yea, I'm sure it would! After I read your post that it was for "warming" muscles, I thought to myself, hmm.....maybe it'll just make you ride FASTER!!!
