Weird gear 5: Yes this is real
May 30th, 2008 BlowSnow
Being Big Boned, I have had to deal with some friction issues my entire athletic life. I have used it all, baby powder, that stuff that looks like a deodorant stick, Chamois Crisco. One year at basketball camp I got the waddles so bad they called me “Penguin”. So thankfully, not one but two, separate people sent me this stuff to try. I never knew so many of you cared about my condition.
It works. Does it work better than other powders in a yellow bottle? I can’t really say. It is less tingly (some people like the “angel kisses”) and it’s label is considerably funnier. Having two, I get to keep one on my desk at work. While this does make things more comfy after my lunch rides, it brings a lot of fun into the workplace.
Personally I think for biking and running a personal lubricant works best. (easy dirty mind, not that kind, but like this or this) This stuff is great for after the shower, before bed, anytime you need to keep essential areas dry. I recently used it on a really long drive, and I must say, it totally helped with that twelfth hour tickle-butt.
Also, as a guy who hates wearing socks, I sometimes need help to keep from stinking up my new sneaks. I have been spinkling a little MBP in the Merrells I’m testing (blog coming soon) and they still smell fine and my feet stay dry!

I’ve used Body Glide and regular ole vaseline before and they seemed to work pretty well, but are messy. Nobody wants to shake hands with your or share a trail lunch after you’ve applied the goey stuff…..
This might alleviate that.

Hand shakes or not… Chamois Butter saves lives! If you ride a bike, you need it. Most people think “ohhh it doesn’t bother me”. Thats because you don’t know how much better it could feel.

Thank you for using on your feet…I wondered after the no sock confession in the shoe post.
Hey, could you get another sample of those shoes…an 11 would be great!

I bought a road bike this last spring so even though I haven’t really fully experienced the Indian rug burn since third grade on my forearm. I imagine this stuff could help. I’ll keep it in mind if I need some relief.
thanks for the post and the comments.

For on the bike, go and buy some Chamois Butter…. the best $11 you will ever spend on your privates.
