Anti Monkey Butt Corporation Anti Monkey Butt Powder — 

This is my first review by proxy. Let me explain.

I will never forget the first time I saw a monkey in heat..in fact, I remember that moment as though it was yesterday. That is significant because I don't remember too much from that period of my life.

I was at the zoo and thought something was horribly wrong with one of the monkeys because it had a large, swollen, red bottom. In my mind red and swollen spelled PAIN.  After pointing out the affected monkey to one of the zookeepers I was told that it was normal and not to worry. In time I learned that it was all part of the monkey reproductive cycle. No matter, it still looked painful!

Fast forward to today:

My oldest son lives in Florida where it is hot and humid. Hot and humid spells sweat. Hot, humid and friction of two skin surfaces spells irritation; if those two skin surfaces are around the buttocks area then hot, humid and friction spells human monkey butt! Sound painful? I hurt just thinking about it.

My son [the one in Florida- keeping up?] is a bike rider. To be more precise, he is a cyclist of the bicycle variety. If you have ridden a bicycle you understand that you have to use your two legs to pump up and down on the pedals to make the bike go. This creates friction of rubbing thighs and rubbing the groin area against the seat. Add high temperatures and humid air and you have the perfect recipe for irritation. Put that formula together for a 60-65 mile ride and it can go beyond irritation.

Recently, I was asked to try a product called Anti-Monkey Butt. This product was created to combat hot, humid and friction. It is a powder made to absorb moisture and comes with calamine to soothe irritation. I asked my son if he would use it and give me his honest opinion. He reluctantly said yes. I asked him for his opinion for my review [by proxy] and this is what he emailed me:

"Mom-

When I first received the Anti-Monkey Butt Powder, I was skeptical if it would work. As a recreational cyclist, who averages 100-150 miles a week, I know the value of a quality anti-friction cream. That said I have never used a powder, nor did I think a powder would be easy to apply. After I quit trying to directly apply the powder and instead sprinkled it inside my cycling bib, I was very pleased with the results. The Anti-Monkey Butt Powder kept me completely dry, even on my longest rides (4+ hrs). It completely eliminated any chaffing between my thighs and buttocks. The powder also eliminated that "swamp" feel that some of the creams leave behind. Anti-Monkey Butt Powder will now be a part of my pre-ride ritual! A+!"

Thanks, Logan. I can't wait to try the new Lady Anti-Monkey Butt.

I ride a bike in heat and humidity, and I have never had monkey butt! If I ever do I know what cures that ailment now!

I'd try any product with a name that created that much amusement! Lol! I wonder if I could use it around my son's head? He sweats at his crown so much!

That is an interesting product to be sure.
Personally I would never use any such product named as it is. But if it works it works. haha!

I know some people who are cyclists that would likely benefit from such a product as this.
Thank you for the review and thank your son for his testing of the product!

I am VERY glad your son no longer has a monkey butt. And he's sweet to comply and give his opinion.
