Chamois Butter...

Having raised dairy goats for 12 years in my former life, I know first hand how wonderful Bag Balm works. On goat udders, hands, heels and anything chapped. Since reading here about saddle sores I have been using Bag Balm after I ride and think it has help. Never having used anything in/on/or around my chamois, if I try Bag Balm on my upcoming 50 mile ride, am I going to have problem with where the Bag Balm may end up? It does have antiseptic stuff and I think a little menthol. Does that irritate ones girlie parts? Having gotten a little careless with Gold Bond Power applications, having that stuff on ones privates is an interesting sensation. So far so good with the Bag Balm, but I have been carefully applying, not slathering it on. Any first hand Bag Balm users out there? bikerHen

I put a big gob in the crease where buttock meets thigh, and smear a little up to the crease where groin meets thigh. The stuff is sticky and doesn't "migrate"! It's pretty much gone by the end of the ride, like it absorbs or something. Instead of rough chafed skin I've got a smooth bootie, and no saddle sores!
