Chamois Butter and shorts!!

[deeaimond]

Yay.

Tried some on a short ride (33 mi) last night. The weather was cool (a perfect night for riding actually) so I can't speak to heavy sweat or rain, but so far, so good.

It goes on very similar to Body Glide - so a little goes a long way.

It lubricates very, very well. I purposely didn't re-apply after two bathroom trips, just to see how it did. No problems.

It's completely non-irritating. And while it's a little early to say for sure, it doesn't seem as heavy as Body Glide, which is tending to clog pores and giving me butt-crease pimples (no, I don't apply it there, but it apparently migrates either from my labia or from the chamois).

Refined shea butter is somewhat expensive, but since you use so little of it, I think it's probably about the same as Beljum Budder, or even a bit less expensive, on a per-mile comparison. I'm not sure how well unrefined shea butter would go on (sounds like that's what you're using, deeaimond?), but it's available online quite inexpensively. I did see someone selling unrefined shea butter at a street fair recently, but couldn't get the attention of anyone at the booth.

It doesn't clog pores at all, and I have super sensitive skin, like everything clogs it. I actually use it to prevent ingrowns as well. I'm just really glad to help 'advertise' a really awesome all natural product. Shea Butter has healing properties i heard.. Anyways, hope to see more people give it a shot, and only coz it works and is pretty amazing.
