I've never actually used any kind of lube before, since it's very rare for me to develop any sores. It only happens to me if I have multiple 50+ mile days without any time off the saddle, and that only happens once or maybe twice a season, if then. I'll keep the Bag Balm in mind for that. But single-day rides of any length have never been a problem for me.
