Ugh! Chamoix cream advice

[zoom-zoom]

Marni, I had thought about Bag Balm, but after reading something about petroleum-based products degrading the chamois foam I decided against it. That's why I stopped using Chamois Butt'r, too.

Could your shorts be a problem? Just asking. I have had shorts that caused me issues and tried other's and now no problems!

Bliss is AWFUL, it really does cause the girly bits to tingle and worse. I've been told the men's version is stronger

I use either Chamois Butt'r or TBS (That Butt Stuff). Both are fine - I have a slight preference for TBS but I have to order it online, the other I can pick up ta my LBS which makes it much easier.

Belgium Butter.
No scary chemicals.

I quit using Chamois Butt'r because of the scary chemicals, but I found Beljum Budder irritating - especially when it would work its way inside after a long ride.

I looooove shea butter. It only takes a little, lubricates spectacularly well, doesn't mat the hair like petroleum products will, and lasts a long time, even in the wet - mostly washes out of my shorts and the residue doesn't cause a problem, doesn't stain, non-irritating, one natural ingredient.

Some people use pure coconut oil. The melting point of that is too low for my preferences (especially when it comes to trying to carry a backup supply in a pocket), but YMMV.

Mission Anti-Friction Cream for me. No tingling, no parabens or preservatives, and very long-lasting.

Shea Butter +1

for all the points Oakleaf said, plus, it moisturises the bits very well.

I used to use Bag Balm but stopped because of the petroleum issue. I now use That Butt Stuff and like it. I have very sensitive skin.
