To this day, I still don't understand what chamois butter is used for...
To prevent chafing?
I can imagine it being a greasy mess, like riding around with a wet diaper or something.
And um...i'm picturing a big goopy mess after a long ride. Or does it somehow get absorbed into your skin or shorts?

It was a greasy mess the one time *I* tried it.
That was also the only time I had any chafing.
Once I changed out of the now greasy bike shorts and into a clean, dry pair, no more discomfort or chafing. Never before, and not since.By charity, goodness, restraint, and self-control men and woman alike can store up a well-hidden treasure -- a treasure which cannot be given to others and which robbers cannot steal. A wise person should do good. That is the treasure that cannot be lost.
