About this deal

An observation with regards to the amount of lubricant to apply. By applying rubbing alcohol after applying the lubricant, the lubricant will dissolve and spread smoothly, and be absorbed into the skin, meaning that more lubricant can be applied without gumming up. It can reduce your risk of saddle sores and groin pain, making big days in the seat more enjoyable. It’s safe to say that there are often misconceptions as well as confusion over where chamois cream should be applied. With the old school leather chamois, the cream was best applied directly to the chamois.

You may notice chamois come in all different shapes and sizes depending on the rider's individual needs. However, the original chamois within cycling shorts for men (and cycling shorts for women, once the industry saw fit to manufacture them) were actually made of leather from a chamois goat, not the antibacterial synthetics you see fitted today. John has been writing about bikes and cycling for over 30 years since discovering that people were mug enough to pay him for it rather than expecting him to do an honest day's work. A lot of riders swear by petroleum jelly (or diaper rash ointments containing it) as cheaper versions of chamois cream, but that can actually be a costly mistake.I use it for nipples for endurance running, groin area for both running and cycling, and feet for chaffing and rubbing issues.

Chamois cream will usually also have anti-bacterial properties which may help prevent saddle sores developing or getting severe. Should you always use chamois cream? Not only does the Natural Little Bee Bum-ble-Bee Chamois Balm not contain any chemicals or parabens, but it’s also made from raw, undiluted and natural fatty oils.

Best chamois creams in 2023

Cyclists are prone to chafing below the waist, and more specifically, their inner thighs and glutes because of repetitive rubbing against their bike seat, which can lead to saddle sores. This method of application can still be a great one to try. However, many people opt for applying directly to the problem areas once they have their kit on. The Squirt Barrier Balm chamois cream is effective in wet and changeable weather, staying put after three to four hours in the saddle.

To wrap things up, I wish I had tried Chamois Butt’r Coconut sooner. I can recommend it to every cyclist who spends long hours in the saddle.

Honourable Mentions

Cyclists often use too much chamois cream rather than too little, says Mathews. New cyclists often complain of a “water slide effect” from using too much chamois cream and wonder why it’s not helping fight friction—that’s because sliding around actually adds friction.
