Cyclist's Butt Care Through the Eyes of Wolfman

"Smiling Butt Cream is a cosmetic product designed for cyclists, but if you're a cowboy or biker, you'll enjoy it too! It is primarily used as a lubricant," writes ultra-cyclist Štěpán Stránský, a.k.a. Wolfman, about our cosmetic product. He was so intrigued by it that he came up with the idea to write his own review, or also a “user manual”. And so, here it is!

I decided to test this product when I heard that Posedla is producing the cream in collaboration with the Czech company called "1. Aromaterapeutická," which is a global player in the production of essential and herbal oils of the highest quality.

When cycling, the skin is highly sensitive, and it still surprises me how many people don't realize it. Lubrication is essential, but it must be of good quality. Anything that comes into contact with the skin is absorbed into our body, which must then eliminate any harmful substances. Therefore, as with food, it is important to pay attention to the cosmetics we use.

For good reasons, I can't show you where the cream is applied. But at least I can show you where it should not be applied!

Smiling Butt Cream is a body cream of pleasant viscosity. After application, it leaves a protective film on the skin. I appreciated the long time without having to reapply the cream. With a larger layer, it lasted all day on my behind. I tested the cream in dry, heat, frost, and damp conditions when the cycling shorts were soaked with water.

After applying the cream, I recommend not sitting on the saddle for a minute or two before the cream is absorbed. This also ensures that the cream does not leave stains on the clothing or saddle. Personally, I also apply a smaller amount of cream around the problematic area. This will better protect my skin against water, frost, and wind.

Emancipation is in full swing, and creams are available in both female and male variants, with a focus on different herbal ingredients. Many years of experience in aromatherapy have played a significant role here, and I believe that's the main brilliance of this product.

The scent is a crucial aspect of cosmetic products as well. It stimulates us and influences the overall sensation of the cream. Personally, I prefer the gentle and pleasant scent of the women's variant of Smiling Butt Cream. The men's variant, to me, evokes a more sterile scent. Lastly, the cream comes in handy packaging: I appreciate the pump dispenser – there's no need to squeeze a tube or dip into a cup.

In conclusion, I must say that I genuinely praise this product, and even though it may seem like a paid review, it is not! In short, I can affordably use a high-quality cream containing healing, pain-relieving, and stimulating essential substances. I am surprised that despite the many years of cycling's development, quality products in this segment have only now been created, thanks to the efforts of Posedla.
