Assuming you have the modern, avoid the creams, unless you have chafing. I think the marketers have done a great job convincing bicyclist that they need a grease down "there". All that does is clog up the modern chamois materials.
Use a gentle liquid detergent, no softeners, wash cold / cold rinse. Air dry indoors.
