    I use Assos. When I'm feeling cheap, I'll use Chamois Butt'r Eurostyle. The regular Chamois Butt'r and other lotions aren't waxy enough. They don't last well enough once I get sweaty. Thicker, antibacterial stuff like Assos also keeps the chamois (even elastic ones) soft (I apply after washing, then use just a little bit or some straight on the skin before riding), and that that seems to help me the most.

    Assos has an antibacterial ingredient? Good to know. Since I'm allergic to anti-bacterial ointments, I presume I would have a very unpleasant rash if I ever tried Assos.

    The only chamois cream I've used is Chamois Butt'r. I need it less often since I started buying shorts with seamless chamois. But sometimes I still use it for very long rides.

    Is anti-bacterial the same as "bacterio-/fungistatic qualities" as per their new pot????!
    Actually sounds like I'm Assos bashing (now there's a double entendre, if ever there was one!), but I do actually think they're an excellent brand. Would still be interested to hear from anyone who's tried their new formula though.
    Life is Good!
