Chamois Cream

Bianchi Boy

I cycle regularly distances of up to 80 or so miles, and have never found the need to use Chamois Cream. Is there any advantge to using it? Can you use it on fabric inserts as well as chamois inserts? Should I give it a try?

:oops:

If you don't need it.... but why not give it a try. A cheap alternative is lanolin, in a tube from your local Boots. Proper chamois creme has anti-bacterial properties, which can make it useful on hot summer days, especially. I wouldn't use it with just fabric shorts though...

My G/F has been using Udderly Smooth Chamois Cream with great success, it's quite cheap too.

Thanks. I've just ordered some, so I'll give it a try.

I thought Udderly Smooth wasn't quite as good as Assos cream when I tried it.

You may be right, though my GF was put off Assos by reports of stinging...er....privates! Not an issue for a fella (or a Bianchi Boy), I would imagine :oops:

Just out of interest, was it less, er, smooth, or didn't it last as long?
