Chamois Cream - do you use it?

[DIPSLICK]

Those breathing classes were a waste of time. When the pain hits, you want to slap the person in the face that says "stop holding your breath, and breathe, breathe" yeah right! See if they breathe if I shove my foot up their rear!

BREATHE BREATHE,,,,,,,EPIDURAL EPIDURAL

did not help me on the J2C .....my butt looked like raw liver BUT i think the saddle was more to blame

 

Ow!

['Dale]

Saw one of the riders cycle through a stage WITHOUT SEAT POST AND SADDLE as he was nursing saddle sores.

In the recent Giro,....

That's only because you will only use the first circle..... rip it off once and you will never use it again...

 

But is good for using on your hands over a layer of second skin for burst blisters....

Nooit....used it at joberg2c...works perfectly. The key is committing when sticking it on, don't try and reposition once you have applied. Now go ride...the longer the better....sweat mixes with the glue and eventually when you have to remove them at the end of the ride they simply slide off, no tearing of nipples, skin or hair...I am not joking, it works like a charm.

There's a few things worse than being hungry to ride one's bike BUTT one's BUTT is sore.

 

Bactroban base layer for long rides. 3 hrs plus.

Then speensalf.

Hey guys/girls.

I have been ring with chamois cream for my last four rides, each between 22-25km. I have moer of a sore saddle sores or ingrown hairs. I'm seriously fed up as I changed to a wider more squishy saddle, I ride with first ascent bagies will switching to bibs or stretchy pants help?

Re Saddle sores.

Things that worked for me:

1. Absolute hygiene: Get out of the cycling shorts ASAP. Shower with good antibacterial soap.

2. Apply bactroban ointment 3 times per day.

3. Switch to the right size good quality bib shorts. (tight fitting)

4. Beware of to soft a saddle.

5. Apply thick layer of milking cream mixed with anti bacterial ointment before every ride.

If this does not help time off the saddle plus drainage plus antibiotics might be your only option. Hope you get well soon. Nothing more irritating than a bout of saddle sores.

Thanks Sniffie I'll try your sugestions because I'm really sick and tired of these things.

Use it for chaffing in my area. Never used it on the chamios. A good saddle works for me.

 

But I do have two permanent marks from when I sit but it doesn't hurt and it's not a sore.

[Gandalf]

Off course yes! Mix my own: 1 big tub of milking cream + 1 tube of antiseptic ointment. Cheap and it works like a charm.

 

where do you buy this milking cream?
