Chamois Buttr Original Anti Chafe Cream Reviews Summary

Effectiveness

Pros:

• "This stuff does really well. On long rides it is a must."
• "Chamois cream makes everything so much more comfortable."
• "Lasts all day with just one application, and just flat-out works."
• "Great product for a cyclist or runner. Reduces and prevents chaffing from a cyclists saddle."
• "It works! Where you put it, it will not chafe."
• "It prevents razor burn better than anything else."
• "This stuff works great! I'm a Ironman distance triathlete and mostly use this for long cycling rides, particularly ones I'm doing indoors on the trainer."

Cons:

• "They give you a lot of it but sadly it doesn't help at all once it dries."
• "caused severe rash on the first and only use, made it worse than if without any product to prevent the rash; also, greasy, not pleasant, would not recommend."
• "It just didn’t do it for me. I use for thick thighs and I found that it didn’t last as long as I thought it should."
• "Seems to be a glorified lotion. Doesn't stop chafing, doesn't keep skin from rubbing together."
• "I tried Chamois Butt'r on a 50 mile bicycle ride and you could tell it dried out well before I finished the ride."
• "It's slightly better than nothing, most of the time. Sometimes nothing is better."
• "So I bought this thinking it would help just a lil bit of rub I have and it did the complete opposite it burned like you can’t imagine."

Texture and Application

Pros:

• "Both RunGoo and Glide are thick paste or waxy products that protect."
• "Little bit goes a long way too."
• "One of my frustrations with similar products is that washing it off your hands is difficult. This stuff washes right off with soap and water."
• "It is easy to apply and seems to wipe off my fingers after application pretty easily."
• "Delivers out of the squeezed tube in a very controllable way."
• "Applies easily, odourless, glides nicely."
• "Goes on without feeling oily and allows for movement in my riding clothes that doesn't pull and drag on my skin."

Cons:

• "You also have to deal with cream on you hand."
• "Its thick so you have to give it a good wash with some soap otherwise it’ll cling on."
• "The cream will also get onto your bike shorts if you put them on right away so remember to let it 'dry' a bit first."
• "It leaves a slick film around the chamois that is still present even after a long ride."
• "When the pain finally passed, I was left with a tacky, waxy mess that made my clothing cling to it."
• "Though it does leave a bit of a sticky residue on my hand after applying it."
• "The first thing I noticed was how thin and runny this cream was."

Value and Packaging

Pros:

• "I like that it's in a tube because it seems more sanitary than a jar that you keep dipping into."
• "Comes in a value-sized 8 oz. tube which makes it cost effective."
• "One of the 8 oz tubes has lasted me over a year."
• "The bottle’s huge and will probably last you a long time."
• "I'm only just now running out of it after having it for 2 years."
• "One tube lasts me about 2 weeks."
• "They make little single packs too which are great for travel."

Cons:

• "I like this stuff (and would give it 5 stars if less expensive)."
• "I guess it's a good value, I just wish it didn't contain lanolin."
• "I just wish it wasn't so expensive."
• "The only complaint I have had is that the pricing seems to be out of control... this stuff has become super expensive over the last several years."
• "It's a little pricey and doesn't last for a long time."
• "Seems expensive for an 8 oz tube but I haven't found a better option at a lower price."
• "The large tube isn't easy to stuff in your jersey."

Scent and Residue

Pros:

• "Love the coconut smell. After a long ride, your nasty bib smells like a new beach toy, haha."
• "And it has no scent. It's amazing stuff."
• "It is not greasy. It does not stain your clothes. It is transparent."
• "No scent and doesn't stain."
• "The cream is fairly oderless."
• "It doesn’t have any scent to it which I like."
• "No smell, doesn't seem to stain my shorts."

Cons:

• "I must be allergic to this stuff because my down under bits were itching for almost two days after using."
• "I don't like the smell, it smells like spit or something."
• "It doesn't cause any irritation, so let's give it a shot~"
• "Burned like hellfire!"
• "The only negative would be that it came off during my swim in the ocean."
• "It really didn't do much for me. It feels like regular lotion."
• "Tried it for my runs and it doesn't seem to work, my skin just hurts."
