"Blue Steel" Chamois Cream

[Artista]

Alcohol didn't do the trick, but I appreciate all the great suggestions.

Darn, I was sure alcohol would do the trick.

On another note, what's the story behind your avatar, AppleTree? It's gotta be a goodie!

I know, I was really hoping that would work too!

Oh, the picture I found on another bike blog, and thought was hilarious. A bike!! Growing out of a tree!! I just love weird things like that. I wondered myself what the story behind it was. Did someone lean a bike against a tree 50 years ago and forget about it??

Anyway, I liked it better than the picture of me.

I have a question, being new to the cycling and not having used any of these products and only riding with my husband. I get a bit chaffed and I thought I would try this. Do you apply to your shorts or self, my chamois are synthetic not real chamois? I also know that if I am a bit more clipped down there I am more comfortable. I am glad I can ask this here and not at the LBS which is all guys.

Depends upon the product. I think most are designed to be applied to the chamois, but Brave Soldier Friction Zone is more of a thick oily salve in a small tube. That stuff is WAY concentrated and meant to be applied directly to the friction-prone areas.
