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.

Chamois Butt'r Eurostyle is paraben free. I'm not thrilled about iodopropynyl butylcarbamate, but it's not an endocrine disruptor anyway. I might have to give it a try.
I'm not sure I understand the comment about hygienic re-application of Body Glide. Care to be more graphic? If it comes in a stick, then you never have to touch it with your hands (unlike most chamois creams), right?

I apply chamois cream directly to the chamois. when using body glide, I rub the stick right onto the *clean, laundered* chamois. I was referring to re-application during a ride (which isn't something I need to do much, but I can see how it might be beneficial on very long rides, and they do make "individual serving" packages of Chamois Butt'r for that purpose). Rubbing the Bodyglide stick on a sweaty chamois mid-ride would seem to compromise the hygiene of the stick. Maybe I'm just being a silly girl afraid of cooties, but that seems icky to me. It's something I wouldn't do.
Was that too graphic?

OIC.
Really I'm less concerned about getting my own bacteria on the stick, than I am about other people's germs on my hands. I know I'm not the only one who's had to butter her Kaiser roll in a portajohn...

I've never had Assos bleach anything. I've got fairly dark colored chamois pads on most of my shorts. I think they've toned down the menthol in their newest formula, though. It's definitely less tingly than it used to be (and also greenish-white and not yellow).
