Chamois Butt'rOriginal 8oz Tube(Return to Product Page)

Fundamental to any long ride, eliminating the suffering from saddle sores in the neither regions� I�ve been using this cream for years and always recommend the product to my fellow cyclist.

My skin is sensitive and use this in other places that chafe and this has preformed great on century rides in hot weather.

I'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.

I 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.

Love this stuff for long/short rides!

Great product at an affordable price, helps to prevent chaffing and saddle sores.

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.

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.

I 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!!!

This Chamois Cream helps in chafing.

Love this stuff!

I�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.

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.

Dont 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.

Keeps the saddle sores at bay and makes for a smooth, soft chamois. Can't ride without it.

For 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.

This product has made a big difference in my comfort. I use it before every ride. I highly recommend!!

I 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.

Long road rides with lots of climbing. Works as well as the high priced spread at half the cost. What's not to like

Through nearly thirty of riding and racing I have tried several different brands of chamois cream, and both my wife and I keep coming back to this one on the basis of performance and value. There are other way cheaper brands out there but which don't hold up. And there are other crazy-expensive brands that perform no better. When you can catch a sale on this stuff, it's a pretty good deal on a good product.
