Body Glide Original Anti Chafe Balm | Anti Chafing Stick | Prevent Arm, Chest, Butt, Thigh, Ball Chafing & Irritation | Trusted Skin Protection Since 1996 |2.5oz

I'm a bit of a chubbier person who works a job where I walk about 20k steps a day. Needless to say my thighs need just a little protection at times.This is basically essential for me now. It's scentless, a little sticky at first, but it works extremely well.One large stick lasts, for me, about two months. But I use it every single day, making it well-worth the value.

I've been using Body Glide for decades ever since I trained to run my first marathon. If you're just running a few miles, you probably don't need this sort of thing, but if you're planning to run around 10k (6 miles) or more, parts of your body are going to start rubbing against your clothes an get very irritated if you don't do something to protect these areas. I've found this easy to use, lasts throughout my run, odorless, and a great value as the product lasts for years (unless you're doing ultra-marathons a lot). The only negative is that even this product doesn't protect everything. May need to us an adhesive bandage or similar product on some areas that are especially prone to friction on really long runs.

I used to shave the area that chafes, of course if the area chafes so will it also get razor bumps. I tried everything until I tried Body Glide. Now daily application is part of my morning routine. I'll never not have a bar.

I started running about 9 months ago. I did a 5k after 3 months training then a 10k after another 2 months training. The big push was for a half marathon which I just finished after a total of 9 months running training. I didn't win but I didn't expect to :) I did complete and in no small part that was thanks to this lovely product.I had been running for almost 7 months before I needed it. That is when I hit 9 miles for the first time. I learned there was a bit difference between 8 miles and 9 miles. Who knew.At the end of that run I felt fine, then I took my shoe off and saw my sock was bloody. Turns out I didn't clip my nails close enough. Not a mistake I ever made again. The shock of that bloody sock made me miss the next issue. As that shock and the happy brain chemicals from running wore off I noticed some significant discomfort in several key areas of my flesh.Yep, bad chafing :(I spent the rest of the day researching why my toes were bloody and so much of my skin was rubbed raw. Glide seemed to be the answer and I ordered it.I ran with Glide in 99 degree desert heat for 11 miles. Felt great. I ran with Glide in the VA Beach Rock n Roll half with 90 degree heat and so much humidity that my fingers got pruney due to lack of evaporation. I didn't feel great but I didn't have any chafing so the Glide worked.The product goes on different than I expected. It is smooth to apply but almost feels tacky like a soft wax.I guess I was expecting something more like deodorant or maybe some kind of slick lube like texture. When I first tried it I was nervous it wouldn't really work. I tested on a couple short runs before I did a 10 miler.From what I can tell the glide starts working when you start sweating. This makes it slippery and it cuts down on friction of repetitive motion significantly. I haven't had any chafing at all since I started using it.It does wash off easily, so I believe the reviews that say it won't hold up for a triathlon. I can't speak to that but for a half marathon in some wicked humidity it will work wonderfully.In short, if you are a runner I highly recommend coating pretty much anything that might rub against anything else with this. It is well priced and seems to last and last. I've been doing 5 runs a week for 20-30 miles a week for a couple months and I have about half the container left.

It's probably the most reliable stick out there for us chafing people. I find that you do need to reapply this for longer runs (if using for running). Used it for a marathon and chafed in the pits sooner than I hoped. Still not bad, I'll repurchase.

Husband said this has helped in warm weather around the boys. His friend recommended it and the one for women works great for myself!

Excellent for bicyclists.

Honestly, this product is a life saver. Everyone should have this!
