I have tried a few different nappy creams (as I call them) over the years and some have done nothing and some are just a real mess to apply. I bought this one a few years ago now and I must admit I don't use it for most of the year just when it get really hot and sweaty. I don't really suffer from sore bits, not sure if it the saddles and or shorts I use but I normally get away without any cream. Some riders swear by the stuff and put it on before every ride, must cost them a small fortune but if it helps then money well spent. The Assos cream is the best by far I have ever used. It is just the right consistency and it is no sticky, too thick and very little smell. You don't have to apply too much as it spreads / rubs in well. Some people apply to their shorts pad insert and some people apply to their body, I do the later. There is slight tingling / cooling feeling a few a few minutes of applying but that soon goes. Once out riding I cannot notice I have applied anything and does take away the rubbing / soreness which you can feel after a good few hours in the saddle.
RRP £14.00 and I paid £13.99 from Specialized Concept Store Harrogate
Since buying this one Assos have changed the pot and is now 200ml with an rrp of £20 but again shop around you can get it for £16.50
