This is what I prefer to use. Nut butter doesn't go on smooth, Rapha smells funny, but this goes on smooth washes away easily. Plus I haven't gotten sores with it win win in my book.
Like the shorts, this cream is the best. Non irritating and simply just does the job.
I've tried many chamois cremes. This is by far the best. If I use it, I never have a problem with chafing or rash. If I don't use it, I'm very likely to get either, or both, of the aforementioned. I've tired many other products but none work as well as the Assos brand. It's a little more expensive but not that much more. If you want the best protection possible, this is the go to.
I've done century rides and beyond using this product and it's protected me completely. If you have decent riding shorts, I don't believe that it's necessary for shorter rides, say under 25 or 30 miles. Nevertheless, I use it on every ride. That's just in case I decide to increase the distance on a ride,
Recommendation watch for the occasional sales on this product and then stock up.
Goes on well, works for 3 hours and is easy to clean up. What is not to like?
The best price for the best product for the undercarriage . Don't be cheap get the only creme that works
I've used assess chamois cream for 18 years A little more expensive ,sometimes you can find on sale ,however the absolute best... I tried everything ... The ingredients work & are thicker with very high-quality ...don't be fooled by other products and seem to have air in them,Like cheap ice cream ...this is the absolute best for your bottom ...
Good product, good price on sale from this vendor.
DZ NUTS has more staying power for longer rides, a bit more pricey. Noxema is a great go to if you left your product at home...

There are at least three things that cycling enthusiasts should buy regardless of price. The first is a helmet. Helmets save lives. I got hit by an SUV and my helmet protected my head. Don't go cheap on a helmet. The second is the brightest rear light. Many cycling accidents happen when a car hits a cyclist from behind. Don't go cheap on a light. The brighter, the better. The third is cream. Saddle sores hurt. Don't go cheap on cream. Assos is not cheap but I have ridden 3,400 miles in two months and did not get saddle sores.
Been using this on every ride for years now. Other, prior brands were inferior even though I had to use more of them- a moderate amount of this over the relevant areas suffices. Only saddle sore I ever got was a few weeks ago on a warm 95km ride due to my shorts riding up friction. (Not the creme's fault, I'm just a bit thinner this year.) Recommend to all my riding friends. Also, does not stain shorts/chamois and washes out readily- and mild scent. Assos kit may be chichi-wear (I own none) but this stuff plain works- and is not overpriced.
If you've ever had saddle sores, you know they're something worth avoiding. I smear a little on the chamois and then put a dab on potential problem areas and it keeps me saddle sore free. It doesn't have petroleum jelly or anything greasy that clogs up your chamois so your shorts come out of the wash clean every time. Expensive but worth it. I buy a handful of jars at the beginning of the season so I've always got them.
Great for keeping chafing at bay. Seems to have a healing effect on minor rashes. Thick enough to stay where you put it.
Lasts longer than others and less scentodor than others. When on sale can be cheaper too. Wish it were also packaged in a tube for travel.
Other chamois creams I've tried don't seem to last. Cost is an issue, but I look for deals.
The best chamois cream I have tried. A bit pricey but definitely worth it.
The Assos Creme...and the DZ Nuts are the two best... I alternate between the two. A light application of either will last for a Century...no need for a second application half way through a long ride...and unlike the Chamois Butter...these two do not bleed through my bibs after a long intense ride...
I've used Assos chamois cream for years. Because of the price, I've tried others, but always come back and purchase several when I find a reasonable deal.
I've tried every Chamois out there, thinking if there was something better. There isn't.
I've race & trained for more then 25 years.
Last year I've logged 17000 miles last year.
So with that kind of mileage you need the best Chamois out there.
I think a lot of Assos stuff is overpriced, look good glam gear. I have a few pieces and I personally dont think it works or fits signifcantly better than others to justify the prices. That said, I do like this chamois cream as much, if not better than any other I've used. Does what I need it to do, prevents chaffing and boils that I get loggin lots of miles. Use it year around. Price is reasonable unlike other Assos items.
I've tried several chamois cremes over the years and the Assos product is the only one that did not cause an allergic reaction. Admittedly, I'm allergic to a lot of things but it was nice to find a product I could use.
