Looking for an Ultra Endurance Chamois Cream

[nscrbug]

One word: Lantiseptic. Buy the 50% lanolin version, not the 30% version. I just finished Paris-Brest-Paris. 765 miles in 88:45. My butt was pressure sore, yes, but NO chafing and no broken skin. That stuff is tenacious. It stays where you put it. . My friend Cecil calls it butt spackle! I wouldn't ride an ultra without it.

Just Googled this stuff...would the 50% version be the "Skin Protectant"? Because I did see that the "Daily Skin Protectant" is the 30% version, but it doesn't say anywhere on the site which one is the 50% one...so I assumed it was the non-Daily Skin Protectant.

I must be one of the lucky ones....never needed to use chamois cream...(I have tried it, just samples to see if I "feel" different). I've gone on 20-30-50 mile rides without them. Never chafe either... ;-)

Saddle sore??? What's that? Never experienced that either, not even when I had two horrible saddles!

Careful what you say ... it can happen when you least expect it.

And fwiw, you may be fine at 20-30-50 mile distances, often times chafing doesn't make itself known until you get to century-plus distances, which is what the OP was asking about.

Yeah I rarely use it under 100 miles.

for short rides, under 80 miles, I don't bother with anything, but for things like AIDS Lifecycle, where I am riding day after day after day, I need something. I have had hideous sores using chamois butter, so I am thrilled to learn about some other stuff to try. Thanks!

found some Lantiseptic at the drugstore this afternoon. Picked it up in hopes it helps better than Chamois Butt'r or Hoo Ha Ride Glide. It's got to be better than that stuff....

I don't claim to be an expert on this and have never bought a butt cream because I fear they may be using unsafe ingredients. I have cheap ol' mineral oil lying around the house and have used that a few times and I think it works great. No need to spend much money.

Yes, it's the skin protectant. As near as I can tell, you can buy it in a big tub, or a case pack (144 packets). That's it. There's no option to buy the single packets in smaller quantities anywhere online. This stuff is designed for "professional use" so it doesn't seem to come in consumer-sized packages. The 30% version does, but not the 50% version. That's fine with me though, because it doesn't spoil and I ride a ton... The case pack set me back about $100.

Maybe TE should sell it...

Maybe TE should sell it...

I've considered that. It would CERTAINLY get the staff pick icon..... Though I doubt they would let us break up the case packs. Might be worth inquiring about though.

[maillotpois]

It would be great if they would - it would be a whole new market for them. I would love to give this a try, but that's a lot of product if I don't have a chance to test it out first to see if it works for me.

If TE can't sell it, anyone interested in going in on a case pack?

I'd be interested in a few packets. DH might be too...I dunno...

With shipping, it works out to be 75 cents per packet, FYI. If anyone is interested, PM me and if I get enough interest, I will spring for it am mail them out to you.
