Thanks guys! I am not sure A&D ointment (or any diaper rash ointment) would do the same thing as the ointments specifically designed for cycling. Diaper rash ointment is formulated for moisture barrier and relief from rash; not necessarily protection from it.

As long as I know what my objectives are in searching for something to use, I can substitute an ointment I can use. So, what I am looking for is a creme or ointment that provides lubrication and moisturizes the skin at the same time?

It's greaaaaaaaaaaat to be back!
