Up to now chafing hasn’t been a problem, but I’m concerned that it will after 6 or 7.

I’ve read some positives and negatives about lubricants. I know this has been discussed in the past on BF, but I’m wondering if the 50+ crowd has any experience or recommendations?
First time I've heard of a recomendation for a lubricant. If you don't have a problem now- then don't bother. I just use a body moisturiser and that is only on the long rides (10 hours+)
