Read our review of Muc-Off Athlete Performance Luxury Chamois Cream Pour Femme So if you tend to go out on long rides of, say, five to six hours, it's worth the money because you shouldn't need to reapply it all day." "It's a costly cream (though better value in the hard-to-find 250ml tub for £25) but it's not bad value because it is long lasting compared to some other brands. I was initially surprised at how thick a consistency it has for a tube cream, but that means a little goes a long way and there's no issue with it absorbing into your skin.
Tester Siobhan writes: "When you first apply it there's a pleasing cooling sensation, which lasts a good hour or so, but no unpleasant tingling. Like the men's cream, it does its job really well, keeping you comfy in the saddle on long rides thanks to a formula that means it stays put yet doesn't feel greasy. It may be a bit of a mouthful, but Athlete Performance Luxury Chamois Cream – Pour Femme is, you guessed it, the female-specific version of the consistently very well reviewed Muc-Off Luxury Chamois Cream. Read our review of Premax Performance Skincare Chamois Cream for Women Compared to other women's products out there, it's a serious contender among the premium options thanks to its durability, silky feel and nice smell – there's just that niggle that each time you slather it on, you're one step closer to forking out another £24." "I loved the natural formula, it would be nice to see more brands moving away from ingredients lists that are hard to decipher. The formula claims to be 'ultra-endurance' and given the long-lasting comfort I'd be very happy taking this with me on a multi-day in terms of comfort. On indoor rides in particular, though, I noticed fewer hot spots and less overall chafe when testing on back to back days with and without the cream. Tester Janine writes: "I tested the Premax over a month of riding during a hot, sweaty July on both the Wahoo trainer and out in the real world, and I noticed a positive difference to mid-ride saddle comfort and post-ride soreness across both. It's long-lasting, feels amazing and delivers a very pleasant experience.

Premax Chamois Cream for Women is similar to the men's version in its price and fancy looks but formulated with ingredients for women's skin to balance pH and aid moisture while smelling good. Read our review of Crotch Guard Skin Care Oil It's not cheap at £18.02 for 118ml, but for the price of postage (£1) they'll send you a 10ml sample. Crotch Guard says that its oil supports the physiology of the skin's natural lipids so it is recognised and accepted by the human body, which then absorbs it to help support the skin's natural barrier and protective functions. Traditional chamois creams usually provide a protective barrier to guard the skin from rubbing against other surfaces, but these can clog pores, promote ingrown hairs and stain clothing.
Really well.Ĭrotch Guard's maker says that the oils in its product mimic the molecular structure of the lipids (fats, to you and me) found in human skin and therefore strengthen and reinforce the structure of the skin. It's different to a barrier cream, Crotch Guard claiming that it works 'in' the skin rather than 'on' the skin.
