Groin lube!

[PDP76]

Any recommendations for groin lube - the non sexual type !
It’s that time of year where I can be prone to jock itch after a session on the mountain bike cross country etc.
No jock itch so so far so good. Unfortunately as I get older and my balls get saggier ! I’m getting some chafing going on. I’m using tried and tested sudocrem for relief after a good groin clean which works well.
What I’m looking for is a good barrier, not Vaseline, didn’t work ! That I can apply before and during rides so my groin isn’t a chafed unattractive looking volcano like lava flow when I’m done.

Thankyou

I use Assos Chamois Cream. Never tried any other brand. It's expensive but as I use it infrequently the tub lasts a long time.

Happy Bottom Bum Butter has done the job for me...

Muc-Off Chamois Cream for me - usually on offer somewhere eg

Yep, this one is good. Smells nice too.

Anti monkey butt powder works wonders.

Another vote for Assos Chamois Cream.

The more parsimonious option is to buy a big tub of cow udder cream from a farming supplier which will last years.

Sudacrem is cheap and works very well in my experience.

Then again it's designed for nappy rash so not surprising

That's what amazon is for!

I've always used Sudocrem, but British cycling did some work and recommend Doublebase gel (among other measures):

BC/BikeRadar said:

If you’re looking for a specific recommendation, work done by both Burt and Sterling at British Cycling found Doublebase gel – a medical-grade emollient – worked far better than classic cycling chamois cream.

These medical creams have been developed for hospital patients with bedsores (which present similar challenges to cycling: pressure, sweat, bacteria, open skin) and reduce friction while also helping the skin’s barrier function. It’s also completely pH neutral and void of perfumes.

Must make for a curious selection in the "people who bought happy bottom bum butter, also bought..."

works for me

I've used two so far.

Muc-Off Athlete Performance Luxury Chamois Cream (on my 2nd pot now)

Udderly Smooth 227g Chamois Anti Chaffing Cream

The muc-off is far better as it is thicker and lasts longer. recently found that on 8 hr rides i need to reapply after 4 hrs to maintain that smooth feel

I have always used Assos chamois creme ... until I recently tried the Mucoff stuff as I needed some quickly. Now converted to Mucoff. Slightly better consistency and larger container.

I really like this one, not as runny as some and I find it lasts over the course of a longer ride.

Body Glide:

Been using it for many years for running, fantastic product. Non-greasy, non-runny, non-marking. I've only ever used the 'original' version (the blue one) - they have a cycling-specific product seemingly aimed at preventing saddle-sores, but the regular product (ie the blue one) does wonders for avoiding chaffing.
