Let's talk about the small tubs… and why “sachets” are dumb.
Our 10ml Bum Butter tubs may be small, but don’t be fooled — these little pots are working hard to keep runners, cyclists, and chub-rub sufferers comfortable, happy, and moving forward without the dreaded waddle and grind.
Pocket-Sized, Adventure-Ready
Whether it’s tucked into a jersey pocket, a running vest, or rattling around in your saddle bag, the 10ml tub is always ready for action. Long ride? Long run? Unexpected heatwave? No problem.
And because it’s a resealable tub, you can dip in, close it up, and carry on without leaky packets, or panicked searches for a bin.
Goodbye Sachets. Hello Sanity.
Single-use sachets are a one-hit wonder. Once they’re open, it’s now or never.
Our 10ml tubs are different. Open. Apply. Close. Repeat as needed.
They’re perfect for mid-event top-ups when things start getting… frictional.
Even better? There’s enough Bum Butter in one tiny tub to last several days of cycling or running. Small, yes. Generous, absolutely.

Not Just for Bums (But Very Good at Them)
Despite the name, Bum Butter is a multi-tasker. These mini tubs are brilliant for:
- Inner thighs doing battle on hot runs
- Underarms that didn’t sign up for chafing
- Sports bras, bib shorts, backpacks, and anywhere else rubbing the wrong way
- Classic chub rub on everyday adventures
Basically, if skin is rubbing against skin (or kit), Bum Butter wants in.
Refill, Reuse, Rejoice
Here’s the clever bit: you can refill your 10ml tub from your big Bum Butter tub. That means less waste, better value, and a smug sense of organisation that feels oddly satisfying.
Top it up at home. Take it everywhere. Stay comfortable.
Small Knobs?
The small 10ml tubs of Bum Butter are called “knobs,” a name borrowed straight from the very proper, very real phrase “knob of butter,” meaning a small, handy amount. Of course, when you pair it with Bum Butter, the name takes on a slightly cheeky edge… and we’re okay with that. It’s legitimate, it makes sense, and yes, it might make you smile.
Oh, do stop giggling. Skincare is very serious subject (but can also be funny).
The Ultimate “Just in Case” Tub
You might not think about Bum Butter at the start of your ride or run. But when you need it? You’ll be very glad you packed it.
Small enough to forget about. Powerful enough to save your day.
10ml Bum Butter tubs: because chafing should never be the thing that stops you.

With a career spanning over four decades in off-road riding, Hobbs is a recognized pioneer in the UK gravel cycling scene, having founded the Dorset Gravel Dash—the UK's first ever gravel event—and invented the Clunker Classic.
