They do not inhibit the airflow qualities of COOLMAX and other polyester-based chamois pads, provide anti-friction properties, inhibit bacterial and fungal overgrowth, and some are all-natural (check on Google for the various ones). Many modern chamois pads supposedly breakdown when exposed to petroleum products; this would include petroleum jelly AND mineral oil. Bag Balm and even some (all?) of the Chamois Butt'r products contain petroleum products. There are a number of up and coming products on the market that focus on the construction of a modern chamois.

I don’t really use either for chamois cream, but Bag Balm has soothing ingredients if you want to use it off the bike.

Both are extremely durable and resistant to washing out, if that's what you want.

We have a new product called TRISLIDE that we will be launching at Interbike for cyclists. Actually, it is not new for triathletes; over the past year multisport athletes have been making TRISLIDE a must have! Because it is a multipurpose tool (anti chafing, anti blistering, continous silicone spray which means no touch or goopy hands) we will be showcasing it at Interbike. I would love to send you a sample for your review. Some cycling pros are already using this and most all of the triathlon pros, elites and age groupers are as well. If you are interested, please send me your mailing address and I will be sure to get it out to you asap. By the way, we will be at booth 665 at Interbike this year. If you happen to be there, please stop by to say hello. Karen Allard, president, SBR SPORTS INC. 1-800-620-4094 Hi there,
