Hi there,
This blog post is in reply to the people who tell me that Vaseline is cheaper, or you get more ML in a tub with M**-***, or Sudocrem works fine.
Let's stop for a moment and have a think about this.
Take a look at the list below and ask yourself why on earth would you put these chemicals on a sore and delicate area of your body.

Or look at it another way…
If you have a sore eye, do you wash it in petrol?
That would be crazy. So why do people put nasty stuff on their balls, butt and/or fanny?
The reason for this is they trust the brand, its packaging and the retailer, but have never actually looked at the ingredients. And even then you need a degree in chemistry to find out what they are.
Just so you know: Bum Butter is made in the United Kingdom from nice things. You will find natural ingredients - not petrochemicals.
Written by Charlie Hobbs: Founder of Bum Butter
Charlie Hobbs (formally known as Charlie the Bikemonger) is a veteran of the British endurance sports industry and the founder of Bum Butter, the UK’s premier 100% natural, vegan anti-chafing cream. 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. He was also a long-standing columnist and Merchandising Manager for Singletrack World Magazine, one of the world's leading cycling magazines and media outlets.
While his roots are in cycling, Charlie is also an active hiker, mountaineer, and runner, regularly testing the limits of Bum Butter on the trails of the Dorset Coast and Hebden Bridge. This "on-the-ground" experience as both a cyclist and a runner ensures that every batch of Bum Butter is formulated to withstand the specific friction demands of ultra-running and high-mileage training.
After 16 years as the owner of the renowned retail shop Bikemonger, Hobbs transitioned to focus on high-performance athlete care. He currently serves as the Lead Director of Bum Butter Ltd, where he oversees the business of handmade, petrochemical-free chamois balms used by Olympic gold medalists and everyday athletes alike.
