+1 on the lubrication. I have switched to Bag Balm, first, because it's cheaper. Second, I don't use much. I like it fine. I still have part of a tube of Chamois Butt'r, which I use sometimes. And it comes in little 1-use packets, which are handy on the road. On the first day of the 7-day AIDS/LifeCycle, which I am doing for the 6th time this year, everyone is very shy about applying butt butter. By about day 3, it's like applying sunscreen.
