Natural Anti-Chafing Protection. Handmade in Wānaka, New Zealand.
Sweet Cheeks Butt Butter is a natural anti-chafing cream made for cyclists and other active people. Apply it before riding to areas prone to rubbing or irritation, particularly around the sit bones, inner thighs and other contact points between your body, clothing and riding gear.
The beeswax-based formula creates a protective barrier and is designed to stay in place through sweat, rain and wet riding conditions. It's also suitable for running, hiking, swimming, paddling and other activities where friction can become uncomfortable.
Why It Works
New Zealand organic beeswax helps the formula stay in place and provides a barrier between your skin and whatever is causing friction. This makes Butt Butter particularly useful for longer rides, bikepacking and wet-weather riding where frequent reapplication isn't always practical.
The formula is wetsuit-safe, so it can also be applied around the neck, shoulders and other areas where a wetsuit may rub.
How to Use
Before riding, apply Butt Butter generously to clean skin anywhere you normally experience rubbing or irritation. Massage it in thoroughly to create an even protective layer.
For cycling, common application areas include:
- Sit bones and saddle-contact areas
- Inner thighs
- Edges and seams of cycling shorts
- Other areas where clothing or equipment causes rubbing
It can also be used on feet, between the toes, beneath pack straps and around wetsuit contact areas for other outdoor activities.

Our Thoughts
Butt Butter is one of those products that makes a lot more sense once you've used it on a long ride. Apply it before you head out anywhere you normally experience rubbing or irritation, particularly around the sit bones and inner thighs. The beeswax-based formula stays put well when you're sweating or riding in wet conditions.
We also like that it's made here in New Zealand and isn't limited to cycling. The small 15g size is handy for carrying on the bike, while the larger tins make more sense if you use it regularly. If you already have a 250g tin, the Eco Refill is the sensible option.
