    Where do you buy pure shea butter by chance?

    As for lanolin, I'm not sensitive to wool, but then again, I don't wear it on my privates haha, so I don't know about that.

    Natural food stores, some drug stores, some garden stores.

    I will try order online. No health stores here (no health haha) and not available at the drugstores here. Just asked mom's friend (who is a skincare specialist) and she says get it online.

    I was going to suggest the lanolin as well.
    At least I don't leave slime trails.

    I don't know about the lanolin still, but probably best just to try the advice about shea butter. I ordered some online and am waiting for it to get here.

    Curious about the shea butter -- any problems washing it out of your shorts, especially the chamois?

    I've used Chamois Butt'r for years, and have no problems with it on my butt where I need it most. But recently I've had chafing with the seams in the front of my shorts. The Chamois Butt'r solves that problem, but also causes a rash of tiny red spots a couple of days later.

    Gone but not forgotten:
    - Silver 2003 aluminum road bike
    - Two awesome worn out Juliana saddles

    I have used 100% Shea butter as a chamois cream several times, and it had a quite noticeable odor. I also had to wash my shorts several times, with Shout, to get the odor out.

    I have had that container of shea butter for some time so perhaps it is just too old - but am unsure that actually happens The stuff is expensive, so I don't want to purchase another container of it as an experiment. It seemed to work fine though.
