Chamois Cream

Chamois cream, also known as anti-chafing cream, is a lubricant specifically designed for use by cyclists. It is applied to the skin in the area where the chamois pad of the cycling shorts comes into contact with the skin. The cream helps to reduce friction and irritation between the skin and the chamois pad, preventing chafing, irritation and saddle sores.

Chamois cream is typically made from a combination of ingredients such as waxes, oils, and other lubricants. These ingredients work together to create a protective barrier between the skin and the chamois pad, reducing friction and irritation. Some chamois creams also contain moisturizing ingredients such as shea butter or aloe vera to help keep the skin hydrated and healthy.

When using chamois cream, it is important to apply it to clean, dry skin. The cream can be applied directly to the skin or can be applied to the chamois pad before putting on the shorts. It's important to apply enough cream to cover the entire area where the chamois pad comes into contact with the skin.

Chamois cream is also useful for other sports where skin to skin or skin to fabric friction can occur, such as long distance running or triathlons. Some products are even designed to be used during activities in water.
