Chamois Cream

Never used Assos, but I never had a problem with Muc-off either, so I haven’t changed. I think of you have one you use that’s effective, then why change. It can be a very sore area, and maybe not worth changing brands if you don’t know if it would suit you.

A nice lump of steak

Vaseline.

But usually nothing

Everybody is different - some sweat more, some have skin that's maybe a bit more sensitive, some can go all day without the need for chamois cream. Whatever suits you - if you use it every ride and find no discomfort or other issues then drive on - use as you see fit.

I stick with Assos. I use it on longer summer rides but only because I've had very unpleasant experiences with saddle sores in the past. I don't see any need to use it on shorter (less than 100km) rides as decent shorts will provide enough comfort.

I first used Assos but I am currently using Muc Off. I tried Muc Off as it is better value for money, you get a bigger tub for similar money.
I prefer the consistency of the Muc Off, it just seems to go on better.

Sudocrem is surely a pain to be washing out in low temp washes if using regularly????.

I don't know. I use it perhaps twice a year maybe and after 15 hours in the saddle, I don't think there is much residue left.
