Chamois Butter and shorts!!

[deeaimond]

I use pure shea butter. It's great and is not messy at all. Abit waxy at first but dissolves as it warms up, absorbs into the skin eventually. No chemicals (I have detergent allergies so it is definitely not giving me problems) Tried other things but this works the best for me. (it helps that all the bits are nice and moisturized)

problem is I'm not sure where to buy it. I got a huge tub from my bf's mother, and it'll probably last me another year or so. She got it in Ghana. I'm thinking if u live in a town with like... a store specialising in cosmetics for african people? or on the internet.

Nubutte is based on shea butter. It doesn't lubricate enough for me, but I love it as a healing salve.

Oakleaf, I've never seen nubutte, but i'm assuming its got other stuff added to it. maybe thats why it does not lubricate as well. pure shea butter has an unpleasant lumpy texture and not very nice smell... maybe thats why most versions out there have other stuff mixed in. But the lumpy texture starts to melt one you warm it in your hands for abit.

Update: I shared my shea butter with my very skeptical touring partner and the first thing he said coming out of the bathroom was 'it doesn't sting at all!' and after that, he's been hinting at getting some of this shea butter stuff.

more point is, I put it on my inner *ahem* bits as well and I love that it does not sting. And at the end of the ride my butt and bits are all soft as a baby's!

I'm seriously considering this as an entrepreunerial idea...
