Don’t Leave Home Without… Chafing Cream
We all know it and we all dread it. Chafing. That red raw pain from a day in an unfamiliar saddle or even under your arms from sweat (believe me that is not fun). Now I know what you may be thinking… “I have never had chafing” and I can safely say it is better to be prepared than caught out. ESPECIALLY if your saddle fitness is not quite up to scratch. Just think! Just think- it could save you from being distracted and in pain while riding through breathtaking, magical scenery that you just can’t appreciate while in pain.
Fear not! We have done a bit of research and found a product that could save you the pain of chafing. Whether it is to prevent or treat, these products will have you loving your ride through the chafe. Now if you are prone to it and want to avoid the pain altogether, have a look at ‘Body Glide Original Anti-Chafe’.
If you are unlucky enough to get chafing when out on a ride, it is good to have some Bio- Oil on hand to soothe your aches and pains. This bad boy is dermatologically approved and its non-greasy, long-lasting lotion will have you riding in comfort, even on super hot days or the constant rubbing of long rides! This is great for mildly chafed skin and is easy to apply (I use this for a number of other remedies as well – scarring, stretch marks – this product is a godsend!).
So if you’re at all worried about those long days in the saddle, don’t leave home without one of these products, which can be found at your local chemist. (And no, this is not a sponsored post, we just like providing you with a few different options to choose from).
