I raced the Buffalo Springs half on Sunday and just got torn up. I dont remember having that issue last year( same suit, same bike etc) but wondering what you ladies prefer and does is really help? Thanks!

if it's the same tri suit you wore last year it's probably stretched out a bit (or you lost weight?). Fit of shorts is important. Tighter fitting the better.

Assos chamois cream. Sometimes heat, slightly different riding style, or even wind can change your reaction from one ride to another.

Lantiseptic. The thick heavy, gross stuff that comes in a tub, not the stuff you can buy in individual packets.

Smells like shit, and you'll have to use baby wipes to get it off your hands, but it's the best butt cream I've ever used.

Anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and about $8-10 per tube. The manufacturer says it's safe for wetsuits and I know from personal experience that it stays put better than anything else for an IM-length swim.

I use nitrile gloves to apply so I don't have to get my hands dirty. Then, I just flip the gloves inside out and toss it in my gear bag (or trash) so the excess lube doesn't get on my other stuff.

I like Smooth Ride Chamois Cream from OA Performance Products for long rides. It is natural based like all their products and works well for women.

I've been using Hoohah Ride Glide. Crazy name, but its pretty good. But for rides longer than 3 hours, it kinda breaks down. I will try some of the others listed here.

I recently tried Sportique Century Riding Cream, after years of using Bag Balm (which started to clog things up and I suffered from ingrown hairs that got infected). So far, it works, it's all natural and it doesn't seem to break down in the heat of AZ. I find that over the years, things shift around, seats break down, bike fit changes ever so slightly, so that what wasn't a problem suddenly becomes one.

I love my DZNuts Bliss cream, but for long rides I'll reapply it about halfway so I need to find something that will last for the long haul and won't require reapplying. Some of these products I've heard of and others I haven't so I'll be interested in trying them out.

Try "Udderly smooth udder cream". You can purchase it at walmart on the cheap. Doesn't leave a gooey mess on the hands. Warning though- works great but tends to thin out after a swim. Great for plain old cycling though- my favorite!

They do have another product-" Udderly smooth chamois cream" that can be ordered online and it's not water soluable, so sticks around, even in the water.

Beljum Budder. Selected if after lots of research. It must help because I haven't had an incident of torn tissue since I started using it. I still have pain though. But at least no screaming in the shower.

Have used a host of others and have found BB to be really good (and no parabens either if you're avoiding them).

Aquaphor ointment. Cheaper than some options, and available at the drugstore!
