Review by Jim GaydenReviewed 11/7/2022by Jim GaydenCycling EnthusiastVancouver, WA.Chamois Butt'r Original 8oz TubeI'm 65 years old and finally concluded that I should start using some type of chamois cream. Chamois Butt'r Original is the first one that I chose. I chose it because the reviews were good and the price reasonable. As with anything it's not perfect. But it is a good product and I will buy it again. Since beginning to use this I have averaged around 40 miles per ride and have been on a few 80-90 mile rides while using it. And there have been several weeks where I went for 6 rides per week. I have never chaffed while using Chamois Butt'r.

Review by Ryman1108Reviewed 5/5/2017by Ryman1108Competitive RacerDes Moines, IA13 of 15 customers found this review helpful.Can't believe I rode WITHOUT this, everI figure there are 2 audiences taking the time to read a review of this kind of product 1) those who've never used a chamois cream and are wondering if it's something to try, and 2) those who've tried numerous creams and are still looking for the best.
For audience 1, the answer is YES, you've got to be using this stuff, and Chamois Butt'R is an outstanding option. Works fine by itself, but I often go with a thin layer of Aquaphor or Vaseline on the more tender parts of the male anatomy plus right where the inner thigh hits the groin and then go with this product mainly where the directions suggest putting it (immediately posterior to those tender parts). For context, I only ride a triathlon bike, so positioning and pressure points may differ from your riding situation. Of course after a couple hours of intense sweating on the trainer or on a humid day, Chamois Butt'R will need to be reapplied. Their little one-use packs are like magic about halfway through an Ironman bike leg.
Then, for the 2nd audience, I admit I have a limited chamois cream repertoire I've only used this product and their Eurostyle version over the past 15 yrs. The Eurostyle gives a significant cooling effect down there, much more than I'm comfortable with. With that stuff, you're feeling mentholly down below for quite some time, and then when you shower, it comes back to hit you with an open hand of minty-ness. No thank you-a fresh feeling is good, but for me, ice is not nice down there. Stick to this original Chamois Butt'R-you won't regret it.
Certainly, I wish it didn't cost so much, but for the protection it provides, I'd be willing to pay significantly more.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 9/1/2014by AnonymousCycling EnthusiastPacific NW3 of 3 customers found this review helpful.Good for short rides Doesn't last as well as other products.Chamois creme really makes a difference to how well I feel after a ride, whether it be 30 miles or 200 miles. Every time I do a ride of more than 20 miles or so without using some form of creme, I can feel the imitation on my skin. I enjoy long rides and tours with 7 days or more of continuous cycling, so a good chamois creme really makes a difference.
The Paceline creme is way better than no creme at all, but there are better alternatives. This is a good value product and I wouldn't hesitate to use it for a 50 mile ride. But it does tend to lose effectiveness during longer rides.
If I'm doing a really long ride (100 miles or more) or many days of 50 mile rides, I will choose another product. My favorite these days is DZ Nuts, but I think the Assos Chamois Creme is also pretty good.

Review by GoldbugReviewed 8/12/2014by GoldbugCompetitive RacerNC4 of 4 customers found this review helpful.Good value when on sale!After thirty years of cycling I have tried a lot of different stuff and wasted a lot of money on hype. This product, however, is a good value. When BTD runs a special during the off-season, load up! This stuff is more durable than other brands I have tried, yet does not leave any residue.

Review by mindanalyzerReviewed 8/8/2014by mindanalyzerCycling EnthusiastMiami FL4 of 4 customers found this review helpful.excellent chamois cream, great valueI love this chamois cream, this is a must for my rides, in special for the long ones, above 70 miles. If I forget to apply this cream before a ride, that next week will be a painful one (and I only wear Assos and top quality castelli bibs)
thanks to BikeTiresDirect for the good price and VIP points. Great store!!!

Review by AnonymousReviewed 5/2/2022by AnonymousCycling EnthusiastSalt Lake CityLove this stuff! Slather it on your chamoisI�ve been using this product for years. I spread a generous amount on my chamois before each ride. It completely prevents chafing once my crotch has been conditioned by a few rides with the cream. If I haven�t ridden for a few weeks, then I do get some minor chafing. However without using a chamois and chamois cream, I cannot ride more than once a week to you allow for healing between rides. It makes no sense to go without this product.

Review by 10kmanReviewed 4/26/2019by 10kmanCompetitive RacerPA1 of 2 customers found this review helpful.Works!Tried this on a whim just to know if I have a viable option from my tried and true. It's not as paste-like as Assos is, it's more of an actual creamlotion. Goes on easy, a little goes a long way. I think for rides approaching 3 hours (and beyond), it seems to not be as effective, but honestly sweating and rubbing skin for 3 hours is a lot to ask of any skin lubricant. Just noting. They do sell a travel packet size you can throw in your jersey pocket, for reapplication (I don't, but it's an option). This seems to do about the same as the Buttonhole does, Assos is still my go-to, but the price makes me keep looking for an alternative.
Can't go wrong with this one though, it works fine.

Review by FuelfoolReviewed 1/15/2019by FuelfoolCompetitive RacerBlue Ridge Mountains, NCGreat ValueDont ask me how or why, but I didnt discover the wonders of chamois cream until around year twenty of now thirty years of riding and racing. It was an epiphany indeed and is now a necessity on every ride. Since then I have tried many different products and find this one to offer the best combination of performance, durability and value. If you can catch a good sale AND buy in bulk, you can get it for around a dollar an ounce, which is my measure of a really good deal.

Review by TriGuyRyReviewed 8/28/2018by TriGuyRyCompetitive RacerDes Moines, IA1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.It's the lube-iest, I can't imagine riding without itFor any more than 20 minutes in the saddle, I can't imagine riding without Chamois ButtR. Pretty long lasting, though if it's a really sweaty day, I do like to reapply every 90 mins or so. The individual packs work well for that. Has a nice lotion consistency as isn't greasy. I like to apply a thin base of Eucerin healing ointment before applying Chamois ButtR if it's going to be a long day in the saddle, especially since I'm usually wearing triathlon shorts with pretty thin chamois.
With that one-two punch for protection, your undercarriage will be bulletproof...or at least saddle-sore free.

Review by PaulReviewed 7/30/2017by PaulCompetitive RacerMD2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.Effective and economicalI bought PaceLine cream because BTD was running a one-day special on it, and I've found it to be as effective as other more expensive chamois creams. It's got medium viscosity and holds up well on long rides. Even if you don't buy the cream on discount. the 8oz. tube is reasonably priced. Allergen Note The ingredients list includes lanolin, so if you're allergic to lanolin this cream might not work for you.
