Here you poor troops go again discussing your butts and how to grease them up.

Avoid all of that slimy, "greasy kid stuff" using Fox's patented method of chafing prevention.

For the details, you must pm me, as certain folks on this forum (er - Underwear Nazi) get most upset when I tell the TRUTH and absolutely destroy their ego-seeking and mind impairing erroneous conclusions!

No "butt butter," udder balm, vaseline, PAM, baby oil, or other messy greasy stuff for me.

Six years and 18,000 miles WITHOUT any chafing or butt sores. Can you say the same?

If God had intended for your butt to be greased, you would have been born with "grease glands" on your posterior.

I tried the generic brand of PAM and while it didn't do too much for comfort, I can assure my butt never once stuck to the seat. :D

OK, Stealthman, let's think this through...

Pam is for pans.

Butt Butter is for butts.

DnvrFox is....(see illustration).

Pam in your shorts? What next?

There are we smart bikers, and then there is everyone else.

A search of the medical literature shows the following:

One of these is always looking for udder butter, vaseline, baby oil, Pam, just about any kind of greasy kid stuff. One isn't. Can you guess which is which?

What am I missing here? No, I don't wear underwear under my bike shorts, no I don't have any chaffing, no I don't use butt butter, and I put a few hundred miles a week on the bike in the summer.

Hi,
I have been trying Bodyglide. http://www.sternoff.com/ It's ok.
I haven't tried the expensive stuff like Butt Buttr. I have a small tube of lotion I got at a drugstore for less than $2, It is also ok.
You want to avoid alchohol. I'm not a big fan of mineral oil, or petroleum jelly. The skin won't absorb them, and I don't care for the feel. I have used Mad Gab's Elephant Lube. http://www.madgabs.com/ I like that, it heals and lubricates. I found the citrus to be mild and inoffensive. Not a big fan of stinky stuff. Mad Gab's Liquid Lube is also soothing. You know, I bought the 32 oz(!) size of Alba Very Emollient Body Lotion/Max dry skin formula- this winter. I really ought to try it for riding. The big size will last about forever, and it is very good stuff for the skin. Think I will try it manana. Price is also good in terms of quality.

I used to get sores, but not bad ones until I started using Butt Buttr and now I get none and no I don't wear underwear just the thought of it hurts.

Hi,
any of the products I mentioned will do the job. There are big differences in how they feel and look. The Elephant Lube is a natural product. The oil gets absorbed, and the wax isn't quite enough for several hours. I have used it on tour, so it's certainly adequate. Some of the lotions last longer but have a greasy feel.
I haven't tried Bodyglide on a long ride yet. Guess what I am trying to say is that there is not much relationship between cost and performance. It boils down to what you like, and what you're willling to pay.

Looks like an egg to me.

Speak for yourself about "your butt."

You have been riding too long without underwear.

Repeat 10 times:

"An egg is NOT a butt."
"An egg is NOT a butt."
"An egg is NOT a butt."
"An egg is NOT a butt."
"An egg is NOT a butt."
"An egg is NOT a butt."

"An egg is NOT a butt."

One too many times without underwear. You need help!

Repeat after me:

Repeat 10 times:

"A fried egg is NOT a butt."
"A fried egg is NOT a butt."
"A fried egg is NOT a butt."
"A fried egg is NOT a butt."
"A fried egg is NOT a butt."

Looks like an Easter Egg to me. You REALLY need to wear some undies when riding.

Repeat after me 10 time:

"An Easter egg is NOT a butt."
"An Easter egg is NOT a butt."
"An Easter egg is NOT a butt."
"An Easter egg is NOT a butt."
"An Easter egg is NOT a butt."
"An Easter egg is NOT a butt."
"An Easter egg is NOT a butt."
"An Easter egg is NOT a butt."
"An Easter egg is NOT a butt."
"An Easter egg is NOT a butt."

Egg - comes from a chicken, used for making little chickens or to be eaten.

Butt - Posterior side of human being, jjust above the legs. Smooth and firm for those wearing undies. Red and sore and covered with greasy kid stuff for those who don't wear undies!

Okay - clear enough?

what's next? defecation, the key to better climbing? oh, we discussed that already! :D

BTW, i don't wear undies under my shorts. and I don't use any grease, jelly, or whatever you call that! :)

I tried something new today. I figured that what with all the environmental concerns, I'd use something natural. So, I used some slightly warm bacon grease. It worked great, plus, every dog in the neighborhood loves me. The down side is this fat chick with very high cholesterol kept winking at me.

Let's review what we have learned so far:

Pam is for pans.

Butt Butter is for butts.

Underwear is for the birds.

The anti-panty army has many good soldiers.

Analogies are lost on Dnvrfox. (Repeat 10 times: Of course an egg is not a butt. It is an analogy.)

This thread has inspired a new product in the Underwear Nazi Store (http://www.cafeshops.com/underwearnazi).

This handsome design (thanks, Inkwolf!) on a 15 oz. mug. (Click (http://www.cafeshops.com/underwearnazi.9967760))

Well, I am going out for breakfast tomorrow. Going to have Ham and Analogies with hash browns. I love those Analogies "over easy!"

Let's see, if an egg is an "analogy", is a chicken a "metaphor? and steak a "simile."

Maybe I will try to buy some metaphors and similes for dinner this week? Think the store will recognize those products?

I use Pam spray on my arms and legs before I put on a wetsuit-- but can't ever say I have used it on my butt. I would just be afraid to find out during a long ride that Pam maybe wasn't the best idea.

If you want to annoy the Underwear Nazi and bring the fury of the Underwear SS down upon your head, then yes, it will work.

It will also work to get you odd looks in the locker room.

It will work to make your girlfriend laugh, especially if you wear it while dancing to Rod Stewart singing "Do ya think I'm sexy?"

It will work as a costume if you happen to be a stripper in a gay bar.

And if you wear it under your bike shorts, it will work it's way up between your butt cheeks and irritate the ever-loving bajabbers out of your pathetic ass.

Oh, it'll work all right. It will work about as well as replacing your saddle with a sawblade.
