'Saved my butt' giveaway!!

Irritated? Itchy? Burning? Red? Discomfort? Yes, yes, you can buy eye drops if these were symptoms you were experiencing with your eyes... but what about your, uh, butt?

There, I've said it.

Cycling this year has been a little interesting. I've gotten a new bike, been out on the roads since February because of an unusually mild winter, and have had my 'character built' on more than one occasion. I've ridden in less than ideal conditions, including hot, humidity, and pouring rain, which only seem to make the friction of clothing on skin worse.

When I was contacted about testing out the Anti Monkey Butt Powder, I giggled at the name, googled it to make sure it was something legitimate, and once I sent my reply, hoped it would arrive as I looked at the forecast for the 75k Ride for Heart I recently did. As promised by the weather forecasters, it rained, a lot. Turns out that the package didn't arrive in time (no fault of theirs... crossing north of the border always takes more time, just gotten used to it), but was probably the last time I'll ever have any chaffing! It's not just for cycling either, check out the website to see other butt-busting activities it's being used for!

The lightly fragranced powder contains calamine and talc, and really work their magic! I have used it on every ride since, having setup permanent residence in the side pocket of the bag I use to carry all of my triathlon stuff.

$5.95 for a 6oz bottle, or $29.95 for a 6-pack, definitely worth it! I checked the websites for two local running stores which I go to often, neither seem to carry it, so I may end up having to do some research or buy it online somewhere once I run out -- because I will be getting more!

The only drawback that I've found, is that my cycling shorts are black. Obviously, the power is white.... so it does tend to leave a bit of evidence, a trace of a white around the inner thighs of my shorts where applied.  Otherwise, definitely two thumbs up from me... thanks for saving my butt!!

Now it's your turn to save your butt! I've got two bottles -- one of the original Anti Monkey Butt Powder for the guys, and Lady Anti Monkey Butt Powder for the girls!!
