Red face Monkey Butt: Which Powder is the BEST?

Monkey Butt. Riding in hot weather and/or long rides........your butt gets hot/moist and u get prickly heat stuff. Reddish, pimples, just uncomfortable.

This is abt which POWDER not which clothing like underarmour, etc... JUST which powder.

Which powder works BEST to help prevent Monkey Butt?

Thank you all in advance!

Get the air circulation pad for your seat so that you do not get the problem in the first place.

Cornstarch and weasel squeezers are what it takes to cover long distances in summer heat. If you fail to take precautions, Boudreax's Butt Paste will clear it up in a single application.

I am not a scientist so this is all from uh well the seat of my pants experience..
Gold Bond must have some menthol in it as when you are putting it on it has that cooling affect,that feels pretty good..
Monkey butt,and Corn starch work well and may be the same or have a lot of the same ingredients with some perfumes thrown in..but will all work well..My riding buds use to laugh at me for years as I would apply very liberal amounts,in a parking lot,rest area,where ever,didnt make a difference to me if I had an audience of 200 people watching,I was going to cool off..Because once you get a very bad rash or the advanced stage that you are unable to walk because of a rash it is too late..

Get something between you and the synthetic seat material. Lambs wool, cotton, something else.

And, wear a pair of athletic compression shorts.

No more problems.
