Has anyone tried diaper cream?

[Grog]

Does it wash out easily? I've used A&D and Aquaphor in the past, but neither of them wash out, and both are so thick that they make the hair clump. But I haven't found the "perfect" chamois creme yet.

Hmm, "easily" I wouldn't quite say that. I don't really care about the occasional leftover (after washing) white streaks on the inside, but if you put a lot on you some of the cream can seep through the fabric and leave sort of a faint white shadow. It goes away after a wash or two. In my case I really have to look closely to notice, though.

No, it doesn't do anything for the bones, unfortunately I didn't use it as a chamois creme, just a small amount after riding to soothe the skin irritation. So, washing out isn't too much of an issue.

As for Desitin and other diaper ointments, I have used those for my son's diaper rash but he did not respond well (ie, they stung him). The Calmoseptine always seemed to work quickly to clear up skin irritations, so that's what I kept around the house. Apparently, it is used for a range of skin irritations ... http://www.calmoseptineointment.com/

That does look like a cure all. Is it like neosporin? I break out in a rash with neosporin, which would be bad if I put it on sore spots from riding. I'd really be itchy then.

I just bought Body Glide and it has worked wonderfully. It goes on clear, not greasy or oily, just very smooth. I love it. Also works on any area of your body that rubs like feet/toes, nipples, underarms or thighs. I highly recommend it.

Preparation H works well also. Its an anti-inflammatory and lube.

I've used Boudreaux's Butt Paste in the past with success

Now that's an intriguing name, Anti-Monkey Butt Powder. Too bad I don't have time to order it before my big ride!

My sister is taking a chemo drug that impacts healing, and she's had a cut just below her breast that she had for months. I finally told her to try Boudreaux's butt paste on it (per a coworker's advice, and after her trying everything her pharmacist husband and her oncologist could think of). It healed in 3 days. She now calls it "the Boudreaux's miracle" and can't wait for her next oncologist's appt so she can tell him what she used, because as she jokes "he embarrasses so easily".

two thumbs up from my family for the butt paste.
