Got my bum a present.........udderly smooth cream

JimmyK

after my last 40 miler, my @rse was killing me.

i wear padded shorts but to no avail. i went to wiggle and they sell udderly for 6.99 so ive ordered some. how much do you apply to the insert of your lycra shorts by the way ?

anybody else used udderly ?

Not yet. Tell us how you get on.
I have recently tried some of those 'ReSkin' patches and I have a mixed impression. The patch seems to certainly help with 'heat' buildup, resulting in less perceived friction but, over a long ride (with microsensor bibs), the thing got crumpled up and became a pest.
I have now resorted to judicious trimming of hair around those parts where it's meant to go in order to increase patch-to-skin contact.
Watch this space, if you're interested in such things..... :shock:

I'm about to order some - I've used the regular udder cream and it's very good but too thin for use in shorts.

I have been using Assos cream for a few years and I just take a couple of fingers full and slap it on the pad - in the sort of area where you can imagine being sore.

I don't rub it in or anything - just smear it on the top like butter on toast and it seems to do the job.

Assos is better applied direct to the skin IMO, you seem to use less that way (and L.A swore by it!).

I've been using the Udder stuff recently - it's not quite as thick as Assos - but once on I'm hard pressed to say anything negative about it. Works just as well as anything else I've tried.

+1 for applying direct to skin. Much easier and you will use less.

Been using the Assos stuff but its so 'spensive I thought I'd try the Udderly stuff from Wiggle. You get more in a pot & it costs less! only used it on a couple of long rides so far but it seems every bit as good as its more expensive contemporary.

+1 for applying direct to skin, where its needed :oops:
