Roll-On Chamois Cream?
Is there a good roll-on chamois cream product out there? I'm kinda grossed out by the creamy stuff.
Admittedly, I'm chamois cream ignorant. In the past, I'd only gotten saddle chafe on one ride that was 125mi and downpoured around mile 40. Recently I've been getting chafe on most rides over 75mi. Switched to the Romin 2 mos ago and thinking it's the culprit, but like the saddle too much to switch.

Maybe give a look at the stuff that they use for tri's? Body Glide comes in a roll-on stick.

Yeah, the Toupe was the saddle I was coming from. I think it has to do w the leather-like fabric they use on top of the Romin. It's a bit tackier than the Toupe was.

There are a few roll on chamois creams/anti-friction creams. Body Glide makes one. Chomper Body makes another called Silke.
if application is an issue, you should may try ones that come in ease to dispense tubes, like Century Riding Cream, DZnuts, or Chamois Butt'r.
If you have any questions about each, just let me know.

I don't understand where you guys get this chafing from and the need for cream. I've done several centuries and ride frequently and have an axe of a saddle, but never any rawness, the worst I've had is my nipples get rubbed a bit in the winter but a particular pair of bibs

I only use it on the hot days over 90 degrees especially when I leave work at 6pm. On those days i dabble a little on and go at it without any issues

Make sure your bicycle fits.
Get a good saddle that works well for you.
Develop a strong core so that you can maintain good posture all the way through a long ride.
Wash and dry yourself now and then on long rides to get rid of the sweat.

Roll-on cream? Setting everything else aside, that would make it tough to apply in a parking lot, or a car, which is where I often end up doing it.
