how do you spell R-E-L-I-E-F?

A-M-B-P
Treatment for Soreness, Itching and Redness Caused by the Friction of Clothing Against Skin
Relief = Anti Monkey Butt Powder!
i mentioned in a few posts ago, that i was having some issues with getting comfortable in my tri bike saddle. something about being in the aero position was absolutely brutal...

as if my bike short's chamois was made of the coarsest sandpaper money can buy. this had been going on for about 3 months and i was really beginning to get a LITTLE worried about the 112 miles in my future. i didn't buy a tri bike to ride in the upright position..that's what my roadbike is for. i tried every pair of biking shorts i own and they all felt terrible. i just couldn't figure it out. about a month ago, i noticed a lot of buzz going on in the blogosphere about Anti-Monkey Butt Powder and thought, I GOTTA TRY THAT STUFF! hell, it couldn't hurt, right? so i contacted the generous folks at Robin Leedy & Associates, Inc. and they were kind enough to send me 2 types of Anti-Monkey Butt Powder to try for myself, to review and to giveaway to 2 lucky readers (1 guy and 1 gal).

most people who know me, know that i spend a lot of time in the saddle and with that comes the dreaded monkey butt. i have my own definition of monkey butt and it includes all areas in the vicinity of the booty. it never fails, every year, once i start averaging 200-250 miles per week, the saddle sores and the chaffing rear their ugly heads. prior to learning about AMBP, i used this:

have you ever used this stuff before? it feels so GROSS! not to mention, if you wear shorts that are light in color, prepare to ruin your shorts. this stuff smells mediciny, it's greasy and will leave permanent stains much like petroleum jelly would. it isn't a good option for me. 
                      A sprinkle a day will keep the saddle sores away!
the first day i tried the Lady Anti Monkey Butt, i was in love with the smell and the color...it's pink! and, it doesn't have that gross greasy feeling. i'm happy to report that with a little tweaking of my aero position and using AMBP, i've been able to stay in the aero position the entire ride. no sandpaper rub going on anymore, thank goodness. even though the chaffing and soreness have been conquered, i will still continue to use this miracle pink powder as a preventative measure because no matter who you are, if you spend hours in the saddle, you will get some degree of monkey butt. so my advice is to be proactive rather than reactive, get yourself some AMBP and sprinkle away.

now it's your turn to get your hands on some AMBP. one lucky guy will win a 6 ounce bottle of the original AMBP and one lucky gal will receive a 6 ounce bottle of the lady AMBP.

  3. Hey KC,
    Great Review!!! As we have discussed the AMBP has conquered my monkey butt problem as well. And since I already have a bunch of bottles I'll step aside and let others have a chance to rid themselves of the monkey butt

  4. I've bought my own to try to solve the dreaded pleather issue so let someone else take home the prize. I was going to try the bag balm too but will put that at the back of the experiment list.
