chamois cream, do you love it or hate it?

I only use the Assos cream and I've never had any problems with it.

lots of discussion on everyone's favorites - do a search. My favorite is pure shea butter (thanks deeaimond) followed closely by Body Glide (thanks Crankin, a lot easier to find).

I dont use anything

I use Body Glide, and have no issues, but I'm not a long distance rider. A little is all I need.

I saw a movie/documentary about the tour de France called "Hell on Wheels" and they show a rider's chamois pre-ride. The amount of chamois cream was amazing. It was like frosting on a cake. Sorry if that's a gross image. I wonder if everyone uses that much?

I think it's Levi that uses vaseline, I like it also. I sweat alot and the m=normal chamois butter goes away pretty quick. The vaseline stays right where I need it.

I used chamois butt'r on a tour I did. It did what it needed to do - kept me chafe free. Riding every day for multiple days, I would use it again. Riding a century on the weekend, nope. It just feels... um... wrong.

I just use some unscented hand cream. Works great for me... lasts for several hours, non-greasy, cheap, and washes out no problem.

I just use vaseline too. It's easy, cheap and works great for me.

Nothin for me except, on occasion, anti monkey butt powder. Mainly because I like the name.
