    And Christophe - you could surely mix witch hazel into it?

    Believe me even as a lass it has it's uses. Ironically is was my Assos cream that finally cleared up a patch of ezema on my leg!

    As for other places, it is rather soothing on the bottom.

    I have had to put the stuff in some other places, but that will remain between me and him and it wasn't for pleasure :lol:

    What does chamois cream do? What is the point and benefit of it?

    I just baby oil and go but should I do it? Am I missing out on some secret cycling pleasure like the padded crotch cycling shorts, clipless and drop handlebards?

    rhetorical question, right!?!

    Let me get this straight will the cream help with my achybum after a long ride or is it just for a bit of the old chaffing/ringsting type syndrome.


    Right, does anyone know of a good gay sex site we can post this on? I think someone got the wrong forum :shock:

    By strange coincidence I had just ordered some of the udderley stuff ( for the first time)when this posting started, now that the tub has arrived I don't feel at all comfortable at the idea of slapping it on!
    I ache, therefore I am.

    Sorry if this has been asked before but how much of the cream are you supposed to use, thin skim or noticable thickness?

    Depends really. Some apply it to their skin, some to their Chamois. I prefer the latter and just give the surface a good coating and rub it all in.

    I just used a thin coating, partly because I'm (i deliberately avoided using the word tight there) and partly because I only ride 20 miles at a time. I apply directly to the skin now I know where I need it, it best to keep it somewhere warm - away from external walls :shock:

    Humm, me thinks, might try it out with some older shorts first just in case things get a bit messy, thanks for the advice.

    I'm a skin man. :)

    Apply it thin but throughly particularly to the areas that take strain without.
