You buy them a “Happy Bottom”….
I should elaborate on this.
Charlie the Bikemonger is a somewhat eccentric
bike shop keeper beside the sea in Dorset. He
manufactures a chamois cream called “Happy Bottom
Bum Butter” for, well as he describes it, “slapping
some on your undercarriage for a happy bottom
while cycling”.
Charlie continues “It’s actually 100% vegan – we
don’t make it out of vegans, as they are awkward to
harvest…. But seriously it’s made from vegetable
and nut extracts… totally 100% natural ingredients. I
mean who wants to slap chemicals on their bum?
The main features are that it not only reduces friction,
risk of infection, and it’s mildly anaesthetic, but it also
smells awesome. What’s more, it’s “Fanny Friendly”
and compatible with ladies and their wonderful parts.
