Body glide or other anti chaffe solution Sun protection Baby oil (!) If I put on sun protection (P20) leave it to brew(!) then apply something else will this inhibit the sun protection? Or should I put sun protect on after applying other stuff?

It's cheap, a PPD of 54 for the factor 50 which is very high. Mixing stuff on top of or under sunscreen is not recommended - like oils or moisturiser. They have some info on their FAQ & blog: altruistsun.com Not sure what the baby oil is for? I'd imagine the parts that chaffe, aren't likely to be in full sun?

I then use Udderly smooth chamois cream which I also use at the bottom of my shorts to minimise rub (yeah I'm chubby!) when out for hours I'm doing an iron distance tri so talking 17 hrs. the body glide is round my neck to reduce stop wetsuit rubbing too
