Chamois Creams (w/o parabens OR witch-hazel)

[cyclerunmom]

I've been a user of Assos/Butter cream, and Body glide for sometime now (used it on century rides, racing, running, marathons,etc) but recently came across a new chamois cream scientifically formulated for specific needs of us ladies.

I got a few samples at the Tour of california a couple of weeks ago and after trying out it, I am in love! This stuff is wonderful!! It worked amazing for me and it does not contain parabens nor witchhazel.

The name of the product is Dznuts Bliss High viscosity chamois cream. Although sometimes I do prefer the tingle (:, this product has no Tingle at all!

I emailed the company for more samples for my friends, and they were more then happy to provide me with some.

After checking out the website (www.dz-nuts.com) I was able to obtain the following information regarding the ingredients they use and the ones they stay away from, in addition to the benefits of Dzbliss!

I saw the dznuts bliss advertised in something (Triathlete?) recently and meant to ask here about it. Though I don't have any "junk" and kind of resent their offerings in the tshirts department that refer to women as feed zone babes and domestiques, some of the tongue in cheek humor is, well, humorous. It's often such a sensitive subject that we approach with caution, so I suppose it's nice to see someone just up and say "it's good for your junk and your lady bits."
