Assos Chamois Creme

The creme acts as a protective barrier between your skin and the saddle, significantly reducing friction. By keeping the skin lubricated and minimizing the rubbing motion against your shorts, it prevents the irritation and saddle sores that often occur on longer rides.

You can do either, though most cyclists prefer applying a generous layer directly to the skin in the areas prone to chafing. Applying it to the chamois pad of your cycling shorts is also an effective method to ensure consistent protection throughout your ride.

No, the formula is pH-neutral and specifically designed to be safe for technical cycling fabrics. It will not degrade the elasticity or moisture-wicking properties of your gear, and it washes out easily in the laundry.

It is designed to be non-greasy and absorbs well, providing a smooth, protective layer without feeling heavy or sticky. You should notice a clean, fresh sensation immediately upon application.

A small, coin-sized amount is usually sufficient to cover the contact points. You can adjust the amount based on the duration of your ride and your personal preference for coverage.
