assos Chamois Cream (6.76 ounces)

provides long ride comfort

If you do rides longer than 25-30 miles, you may find that chamois cream adds comfort and reduces the risk of chafing and saddle sores. Of the multiple chamois creams on the market, I find that Assos makes the best—it does a great job in reducing friction and is pleasant to use, with a slight menthol ting. Unfortunately, there are counterfeit versions of this cream being sold on Amazon, and also what appear to be old/expired products that are dried out. If you’ve never used this cream, I suggest that you buy your first container directly from Assos in order to get an accurate idea of this product and its packaging before you purchase it on Amazon. If you inadvertently purchase a counterfeit version here you’ll want to be able to tell it apart from the real thing.

I am recreational biker but usually bike from 1,000-2,000 miles a year and so some long rides in the summer (40-75 miles/day). I have been using Assos chamois cream for several years now and have not had problems with chafing. You can't get away from a sore butt, but the chamois creams has eliminated any chafing problems. I recommend it.

After several seasons of rubs, ingrown hairs and discomfort, regardless of the brand or price of the shorts, I discovered this cream. Good bye problems! This is greaseless, easy to apply, washes off with water and essentially eliminates irritation from your chamois. I wouldn't think of getting on a bike without a thin layer of this. It doesn't require gobs, either. I tried a few other well respected brands "once in a row" and realized that this was The One. You bet your bippy!--literally!!

It's the highest recommended and the highest price but it will last you years. You don't need much and it has really helped me get rid of and prevent saddle sores. I won't bike without it. I'd suggest also smearing on a cheap diaper rash balm with zinc oxide and after your bike use a benzoyl peroxide acne cream. Clean up after biking and change your chamoid every bike.
