Chamois Cream

[joosttx]

Mad Alchemy Pro Chammy cream is really nice. I don’t use it that often. Just on super long multi day rides

I love the Mad Alchemy products as well. For long rides, I like the Pure Chamois Cream. It's a bit thicker but not quite viscous. It'll "loosen" up when you gather some in your hands and apply it. Long lasting cream for sure

I like Climb On. A bit pricey though.

The AC stuff is really good. Like it's surprising that a bike shop's house brand could be as good or better than anything else out there good. Especially for people who don't like it tingly.

This, medicated, not water based(doesn't 'sweat' off)..cheap..great for any little cuts and scrapes. Less lanolin than BagBalm, oil of clove makes it smell better.

Put it on you, not the chamois..Also great for saddle sores or 'bib rash', chaffing. Shower, some rubbing alcohol(YOWSER!!)..and a little of this, heals fast.

Another vote for Mad Alchemy. I use the Pro+. Great product and Pete Smith is a great guy.

I concur 100% with this recommendation. Not only very good as a chamois cream, but only $6.99 at the local feed store!

I use chamois butt'r daily.
Its good. It works. Nothing fancy.

But i've only recently started using chamois cream.
Been cycling 8 years without it. Its definitely a game changer.
But chose to stick to something that was generously stocked by the LBS.

What more could a chamois cream really provide? Serious question. As i noticed that there alot of nicer brands.

For me, I really like Doc's chamois cream.

I picked up some Betwixt at a local LBS. It is thick, but not too much, and lasts a long time. Works as well as Doc's for me.

For an upcoming trip where I plan to carry-on all my cycling stuff, I began looking for something that would pass the TSA less than 3.4 ounces requirement and found Ruby's All Natural Anti Chafing cream which is more like DZ Nuts in consistency than either Docs or Betixt. And it comes in a TSA friendly 3oz tube.I have used it a couple times and it works fine. It is also "multi-purpose" according to the description on the packaging:

"Ruby’s Body Balm is an ALL NATURAL lubricating balm with 5 simple ingredients: olive oil, lemongrass, calendula, beeswax and benzoin. It is made to ease friction and the chafing common to swimmers, cyclists and runners. Ruby’s can also moisturize dry feet and elbows, protect a baby’s bottom, massage muscles or enhance a romantic evening. Try it and find out why Ruby’s Body Balm, “MOTION POTION FOR EVERY NOTION™” is naturally better.

Thanks, when I get some time, I will update that list.

Without a doubt, Endurance Shield. A tub lasts me several months and I ride daily. Their sunscreen is also beyond excellent. 45 spf and it goes on without greasy feel or pastiness. Great stuff.

Not like I am a connoisseur of things one may spread on their nuts, but this stuff is amazing:

It smells so good, I have a hard time not using it as a daily moisturizer. It's too expensive to use daily! But it sure smells good. It's also got a little warming action, if you are into these things.

I've also thought about trying Glysomed as chamois cream. Am I alone in this? It seems suitable.
