Review: Beljum Budder chamois cream

[koala]

I tried this product also, and didn't think it lasted well enough even with re-application. It seemed to wash right out with just a little water, which is probably why it didn't stay put once I started to sweat. The ones that last longer seem to need some soap as well as water to dislodge.

I am with you 100% on wanting to use a paraben-free product down in that region. Two other products that don't have parabens are Nubutte (South African product) and Sportique Century Chamois Cream (from the Czech Republic). Both are imported here, and both are available online.

I have been riding for a while and bought CENTURY riding cream on a tour through Europe and have loved it since! No parabens and no petroleum plus it lasts a long time. It was recommended to me by the coach of California Sirius Training. All of his girls are using it and it is supposed to be getting vert hot in California. It was pretty widely available in Europe, but does anybody know where I can get my hands on it here in the states???

I googled 'Century Riding Cream' and came up with one for sale at Coloradocyclist .com. Is this the one?

Lickton's Bike in Chicago carries the Sportique chamois cream, along with the rest of their line, which I think is fabulous. My favorite is their Elements cream, to protect skin from sun & wind. I've been using this on my face for wind protection on very cold, windy rides & have come back just fine. My face doesn't get red & raw anymore, comes back nice & smooth.

For someone who rides in the winter, it is worth every penny.

For the poster who had residue left in the chamois after machine-washing, try washing inside-out. I always wash with the chamois facing out & never have any residue, even with gentle environ-friendly detergents. An extra-rinse cycle can help, too.

yes, that's it! Didn't know they had a vendor in the states. Thanks!

OT: Reagan- is that a bunny stealing a cookie??

I don't ever use chamois butter or other butt cream, look at all the ingredients...
the thing which works for me is organic, unrefined coconut oil... that's also my body lotion/cream whatever you want to call it.

Be careful what you put in and on your body
