on race days or long distance trail rides I use 1st choice PrepH, 2nd plain old vaseline (if Im out of of prep h). My former worcs pro friend uses bicycle road racer's "butt wax" Its just some sort thick white cream, he even scoops some onto his inside the under gear bike shorts butt patch. I may try that old diaper rash stuff Bag Balm its somewhat thicker than vaseline. And always carry "wet diaper wipes" in your gear bag and trail pouch for xtra cleaning back there.
Don't know about all that other stuff butt the ChafeZone stuff advertised on MXA really seems to help with blisters and chaffing.....
Cyclists always get the Monkey Butt and Butt Paste as joke gifts. Use too much and you'll want to try Boil-Ease
Butt wax??? WTF I only sit down in the turns & on the short rides between bits of forest.....the rest of the time I'm up on the pegs letting the bike do the work
Poor Blake, he seems to be the brunt of this and I can't believe you could talk him in to the photo Kelly . For the record I don't use the wax but wear bicycle underwear with baby powder if there is going to be a lot of seat time on a long ride. I might try it though.
I knew I'd catch flak for that! I might surprise you, but yes I agree, you sit much more in offroad situations. Didn't mean for anyone to get butthurt!! (See what I did there!!)
