I stupidly decided to delay my order of new chamois cream from Wiggle, thinking that even if I run out I won't notice a big difference. I ran out yesterday and I sure did notice! I just didn't feel as comfortable on the saddle without it. So now I have to wait until my new cream arrives. 

In the meantime, does anyone use some kind of homemade chamois cream?

I use thisor this

Both available from the supermarket.

I think I have some Savlon lying around somewhere. I'll give it a go

You don't need much. I just rub it in on the skin (mostly around the sit bones) where I know I tend to get saddle sores. You don't need to smother it onto the chamois like this...

Silcon cream (anti chafe; pharmacies) used to be v good but maybe no longer made.

When i had my knee replaced I was introduced to silicone cream.

it was used for massage.

Hamilton laboratories make it and is is called dimethi cream.

Yep, just Sudocrem really unless you've got a specific sore. I couldn't believe how much instant relief it gave.
zinc cream works very well for the sore spots....

 

I have nothing useful to add so....

lol

I see so you can carry cream for your coffee? right? ???

LOL :P

I just use Petrolium( I think that how you spell it)  jelly it works for babies and Cyclist and it cheap as

Is it wrong for me to say Ive never used anything. Maybe I just dont ride enough or maybe my arse has too much padding....
