I use Bike Glide (from Body Glide) and I don't have the problems and I am quick to chafe and get sores. For long rides I am 100% in bibs and they better be clean before I start and I start with a clean goochal region and apply the glide liberally and if I know I am doing a really long ride like a bike tour I am probably going to bring baby wipes and clean well down there and reapply and then when I get to camp I will clean again or if I am in the hotel I will shower and I might shower again in the morning. Typically at night I will use my Shikai Borage lotion or if I am out riding I will usually have some cortisone cream which helps greatly if I start to get a little something down there.
I am happy with Bike Glide but I am always willing to find another product which is even better. My needs are vegan meaning no animal products or testing and I want something that is in a stick form because it is easy to apply and no mess. But really the key is keeping things clean and dry (moisturized but not wet and sweaty)
