Udderly Smooth Chamois Cream – Review

It’s not something many walkers, naturalists, birders or general outdoors type folk speak about but I think it is time to be a little more open (be like the cyclists out there – you’ll understand when you read on).

Today I am going to talk a little about – Chaffing, the soreness you sometimes get where areas of skin rub – Now I’m a little overweight I can admit that (a couple of stone) and I sweat quite a bit (always have even when I was at my skinniest), it is part of my make up. I also love to walk.

Sweat combine with walking (running, cycling other exercise), pretty often, will lead to chaffing (soreness caused by skin rubbing on skin or clothes – it’s to do with the salts and abrasion I think), sometimes this occurs in what might be described as rather intimate areas (I’m not going into more detail)!!! But it is always painful.

So what can we do about it? Well read on and you might just find out a little.

Udderly Smooth Chamois Cream – Review

After suffering in silence for many years, I decided to bite the bullet and do a little research into what to do about chaffing. Well, the obvious answers for many was keep clean; change underwear often; and remove wet clothing as soon as possible.

And then I read a cycling forum (sorry no idea which, but I told you the cycling comment would make sense, they were pretty much the only group talking about chaffing) and they were recommending a chamois cream. The idea being it provides a barrier between the bike seat and skin. In principle the same should apply to those of us off bikes. Like the walkers and runners of this world.

And so it was that I decided to look into this miracle cream. Try to see what was available, and let me tell you there are lots out there, some of them are ridiculously expensive, others cheap (usually with poor review numbers on Amazon). But the one that came up trumps more often than not was Udderly smooth chamois cream.

What the heck I thought let’s give it a go.
