I have previously used a different cream, which was pretty good. As I was about to run out I looked on ÍøÆغÚÁÏ to replace it but couldn't find the brand I'd used before. I ordered the Velsokin even though I thought it was expensive and when it arrived I was very disappointed to see how small the tin is in comparison. What a rip off, I thought. Still, I'd run out of my old cream and beggars can't be chosers, right ? When I put my fingers in the tin there was more disappointment - what is this hard, almost chalky stuff ? Again, it was all I had so the undercarriage got a smear and on to the Wattbike it was. After a couple of weeks and about 8 - 10 rides it occurred to me that although I was mentally using the Veloskin as I'd paid for it and wasn't going to waste it, I'd had absolutely no chafing or discomfort at all since that first application. Nothing. After a few months, I was less than half way down the tin. Still no chafing or discomfort at all. The original tin is almost empty. I bought another one. I don't intend to change to anyting else as long as my legs can turn. Recommended.
