Looking for an Ultra Endurance Chamois Cream

Tom Boonen’s delicate (t)issue

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.

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.

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.

I got Lantiseptic and jar of Endur-It just came in my door, Shea butter should be coming soon. I am doing long rides this weekend and I'll try the creams I hope one really works. I did noticed that Endur-It's ingredients have Shea Butter as well as lanolin and those are the main ingredients of the two other recommendations I got here! Can wait to try them.

I rode today and used my new shea butter. It seemed to really stay in place.

I found a 4 oz tub at a local pharmacy. It was a bit hard to find, but was located in the Baby Care aisle along with other diaper rash treatments. Also, a 36 pack of the foil packs on Ebay(http://www.ebay.com/itm/LANTISEPTIC-...item5191e49f8a) and I did confirm the 50% lanolin.

I went ahead and ordered the 144 pack of the packets. It works out to $0.75 per packet. I will cover shipping to you.

If you want some, PM me.

I love DZ Nuts Bliss. It's also a great way to treat saddle sores or chaffed skin post-ride.

[carolp]

I like Bliss but so far, nothing has worked for me for AIDS Lifecycle, and it seems like the Shea butter might stay in place a bit better.

This topic looks pretty covered BUT I am a huge fan of PuraCare Active Sports Cream, made in Ogden Utah. Has lanolin, aloe vera gel, vit A,D,E. I have been using for 4 years now and really like it. Note - In addition to cycling, I also use on my feet when I am hiking.

This long weekend my husband and I rode 3 days and got over 350 miles on the bike. The First Day: We both used Endur-It. The cream (is more like a balm) has a faint but nice smell, it’s texture is thick and sticky in the jar but once a little body warmth hits it, has excellent lubricant concistency, it gives you a very smooth feeling and performed amazingly good for the whole length of the ride with no issues of burning or chafing at all.
Second day we used Lantiseptic. The texture seemed similar, but I just didn’t feel as soft as Endur-It and the smell of Lantiseptic wasn’t attractive to say the least! Especially if we compared it to Endur-It’s nice smell. Lantiseptic appeared to be greasier as it was quite hard to clean off your hands after application, but as recommended Lantiseptic worked well with no issues with chafing or burning.
After the second day of riding we had Endur-It as the clear winner. Both my Husband and I just liked Endur-It much better. Is clearly formulated for cyclists, as it has a nice smell, really smooth feeling, it lasts for several hours without having to apply again, also it is easy to clean off your hands and to wash off your shorts. I could see us using Lantiseptic if Endur-It wasn’t available but for now we’ve found our chamois cream. Thank you for all you help and see you on the road
