This thread sparked my interest as I have never used a chamois cream with "whoopee" so I went on a mission to try some on my 5 hour ride this weekend. I used assos and overall found the experience enjoyable. The whoopee factor only lasted a few minutes and wasn't unpleasant. But what I really enjoyed was the fact that the assos seemed to really work as I had no pain during or after the ride. I usually get some soreness after about 3 hours on the bike and I was good to go for 5 with the assos. I will be repeating the experiment during my next few rides.

I use Assos. I don't mind the menthol. It feels a little strange, but the feeling subsides quickly. Since I started using it, I haven't gotten any saddle sores.

Try ALCiS down there! It also is a pain relief cream and does not burn/cool/tingle/provide any awkward sensations except the great sensation of riding that bike seat!
: ) i use the stuff everywhere!!!

Dude, you are good.

Would rather have non-methol or witch hazel. Therefore, I don't use those products. Tube dispension would be super too.

Bought "whoopee lube" and tried it today. After 4 1/2 hours in 100+ degree heat, my answer is no to menthol. Riding with a tampon seemed to cause the menthol to creep up my vagina, causing what I remember as an irritant or even a chemical burning sensation.

At nearly 50 years old, I may not be as well naturally lubricated as the younger women, but I thought the point of this product was to provide comfort.

Also, from a potential cancer standpoint, exposing mucosal tissue for hours to silicone and menthol doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
