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 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.

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.

This is the best product ever! I've been using it for over 2 years and have never had an issue with chafing. I just wish I had learned about it sooner! I can wear skirts again! And I only use it on one thigh; I don't need to apply on both because it works so well, so it lasts me twice as long! I also use it on the side of my arms so when I use a tube in the lazy river, I don't get skin irritation, which happened frequently before. It even works when it's wet; the skin just glides over each other. It's great on every part of your body, including feet for blisters - anywhere you need it. It's just as advertised. I highly recommend this product to everyone! And you don't need to buy the other ones (for women, for feet, etc.); this one works like they do. You won't be disappointed. If you don't have the same results, then you must not be applying enough. I don't even need to reapply because it doesn't rub off. I can't say enough about this product! It's amazing and a lifesaver! Guaranteed!

I work in a distribution center for 11-hour days. Because of hard work, chafing became an issue quickly, especially in the summer. Nothing can make a job more unbearable than having constant pain with every movement you make. So, the search for a fix started.I originally bought the product at a local sports store because I wanted a solid product more than any type of cream. First, this product isn't for treating chafing. If you already have issues, use products like body powders and large bandaids to get the skin back to normal. Then, IMMEDIATELY starting using this product! It goes on like a stick of deodorant without leaving a sticky or uncomfortable feeling. It also doesn't leave and color or stiffness on clothes after use. Smells aren't an issue either.Body Glide protects me all day long and keeps me from having painful chafing issues. It has been nothing short of amazing for my problems. It is a bit expensive (about $15 for a stick the size of a normal stick of deodorant) but is worth every singles penny. Like any other type of pain such as back or foot pain, price isn't much of an issue for a product that solves or prevents any more pain.While I am not an avid runner, cyclist, etc., I would imagine this product could do wonders for those areas that go through a lot rubbing.I now buy the product on Amazon because the price seems to be about the same no matter where I purchase it. I already buy a lot from Amazon so it only makes sense for me.

I love this balm!! I have always had thick thighs. When I got into running I needed something to help me with chafing because my shorts would ride up and even when I switched to running in spanx I needed something.This is great!! Perfect for the beach, working out, honestly any time your thighs rub together. The only time it hasn't worked for me is when I trained for races in July and ran at 12pm in 90℉ heat (stupid I know but also the only time I would find acceptable for this not to work) because I would sweat so much that I honestly couldn't tell if it was the balm or my sweat.
