Rainy weather is not the only reason to consider chamois cream. So is hot weather. Most modern chamois are like sponges and can absorb a lot of moisture. So, if you will be riding many miles in hot weather, your chamois can become soaked with sweat. This is another occasion when some chamois cream my be a good idea. Personally, I use Glide, an anti-chafing stick similar to a solid anti-perspirant. And the only time I use it is when I'll be cycling 100 miles (161 km) or more.
@ManuelMartin-qx9nm

A little late to the party, but... but yes, the sweat on the skin and a chamy full of sweat is IMO the real problem. Deo stick seams like a better solution than adding more layers which catch even more water and salts on the skin; only problem is, that a deo stick application is like... double dipping... :-)

For my daily commute, never. For longer rides over 2 hours, yes. But I use vaseline. Especially during the summer - Japan's summers are very hot and sweat can be you enemy. Cycling with a sweat filled pad for 4 hours gets very painful without protection. I have even turned around and returned home when I realised I had forgotten to apply! And chamois cream is not so widely available here so vaseline is just right.

The use of these creams is fine if you can afford to replace the bib shorts regularly. Washing immediately in a hot wash after use is a must with regularly replacing them to avoid bacterial infestation on the padding. So if you are unable to afford regular replacements don't use the cream.

Use coconut oil. It is a liquid when over 20C /72F. If you use organic oil even better. It smells neutral. Just keep some in a small tupperware and apply to your tender personal spots. No need to destroy your expensive shorts. After your ride your skin will haver absorbed it. and your skin will be better than before.... Have I ever lied to you before? Experience reminds me that it works even better when the gentler sex partner applies the oil.

If you are having discomfort as you ride try up grading your bids to a better pair and a better chamois in them.. Do your home work lots of good info on the web on chamois..
