This week we noticed a soothing creme from Sixtus, cleaning product from Grease Monkey Wipes, a Pro baby with an early start and another Pro giving back.
Sixtus Buttock Creme
What: Germans don't have to beat around the bush and can call a buttock creme indeed what it is. That of course also makes it also easier for customers to identify and buy what they need, especially when they can read German. But all joking aside, this cream works very well indeed and gets two thumbs up from this editor.
Size: 9ml
MSRP: $23.50 (12 pack)
Website: sixtususa.com
Grease Monkey Wipes
What: Once you worked on your bike during a ride you don't want to put those dirty hands on your white bar tape or kit, so Grease Monkey Wipes to the rescue. They are individually packaged, multi-purpose cleaning wipes that use a natural citrus formula and are meant for heavy duty cleaning. Should thus also work fine to get rid of body markings after a triathlon.
Size: 2.5" x 4"
MSRP: $5.95 (6-pack)
Website: greasemonkeywipes.com
Practicing
What: Aussie Pro Charlotte Paul is currently taking some time of from racing to give birth to a child, but it appears that while the mother to be has slowed down with her training, the fetus baby now 18 weeks old somehow hasn't. So we learn from that ultrasound that it is best to practice the aero position early on.
Baby due: late January
MSRP: priceless

Giving
What: We always like it when athletes give back, and while at first glance it may appear that Normann Stadler is trying to load up on race food here, the Commerzbank athlete actually donated 500 kg of fruit to the “Münchner Tafel," a food bank in Munich, Germany at the end of August.

Grease Monkey wipes are great for small greasy jobs but I have found Action Wipes, www.actionwipes.com, to be more verstile. They are larger, have a pleasant scent and leave your skin clean without being sticky. They are also very durable and can be washed and reused for other jobs; I use my old ones to wipe my chain and clean my bike.
Additionally, I like to keep some at work for those warm days on the bike commute. They are all you need to wipe the sweat from your brow and leave you feeling fresh when a shower is unavailable.
