Chamois Butt’r
Media Kit - spring/summer 2023
Chamois Butt’r® was developed in 1988 via collaboration between physical therapist and avid cyclist Steve Mathews and an experienced and passionate group of pro cyclists, physicians and chemists. In the years since its launch, Chamois Butt’r has evolved from an individual product into a full suite of offerings developed to suit the individual preferences of a wide range of athletes, disciplines and conditions. The Chamois Butt’r line is featured on the shelves of most U.S. bicycle retailers and also distributed internationally.
New from Chamois Butt’r: Ultra Balm
Chamois Butt’r Ultra Balm, 5oz, $29.99 (also on amazon)
Chamois Butt’r Ultra is a new anti-chafe balm that’s made for the most demanding conditions and the most extreme athletic endeavors, whether they be measured by distance, time, weather, humidity or whatever a rider, runner or athlete may encounter.
Chamois Butt’r Ultra balm is a premium, natural oil and beeswax-based balm that’s made with high quality all-natural ingredients for use on all skin areas. While Ultra balm can be used everyday, it’s made to protect athletes’ skin on the most demanding rides, runs and chafing situations (in extreme distances, time between applications, or weather conditions like rain or high humidity). The brand’s Ultra balm stays on all day and will not sweat off as easily as water-based creams. One application will last all day, allowing riders to ride farther and without the need to reapply.
“On longer rides, especially when it’s hotter than the devil or if it rains, Ultra is a game changer,” said Steve Mathews, Chamois Butt’r founder and president. “We’ve had so much phenomenal positive feedback, I can’t wait to share this with fans of our original Butt’r creams. Ultra is a completely different product than Chamois Butt’r creams. I made this balm to address these unique chafing conditions when I wanted to ride farther and reapply less often. This product gives an incredible solution for those riders looking for the greatest possible skin protection.”

What is Chamois Butt’r?
Chamois Cream makes rides (of all types) better, but it’s often not talked about until a problem arises.
Did you know that chafing is a common challenge of new cyclists, but especially for those new to indoor cycling? Yep, chafing on an indoor cycling bike is more common than on a conventional outdoor pedal bike. Reason being? The static nature of the platform. You can get up and move, but you can’t move the bike around under you, and therefore a rider tends to sit and rub in the same places more often. Chamois Butt'r has the goal of seeing more people riding bikes, and keep them riding; Chamois Butt’r wants them to know they can be comfortable riding—no matter what!
The big problem is that most new riders don’t even know that an anti-friction cream specifically developed for riding a bike even exists!
Enter Chamois Butt’r (pronounced Shammy Butter). Chamois Butt’r makes an entire line of anti-chafe cream specifically formulated to last during hours of cycling indoors or out. Chamois Butt’r is made in Kansas by a family owned company, and has been for 25 years.
Chamois Butt’r comes in numerous styles and the product is applied to cycling shorts or your skin to provide hours/miles of protection from chafing while riding, running, hiking or any other high-friction activity.
