Amazing stuff Sep 23, 2008
By not Margaret Thatcher
When starting to work-out/walk/run again after baby arrived I was plagued by inner thigh chafing where I still carry a few pounds. I raided my husbands closet for his BodyGlide (he uses it for marathoning and all kinds of USMC activities) and low and behold--I love this stuff! When I first put it on and touched the skin it *seemed* like it was going to be tacky and just make my problem worse BUT IT DIDN'T! After three steps I forgot it was there. I'm out for an hour at noon on the beach trail and hills pushing a stroller getting hot and sweaty and this stuff holds up. I'd pay triple what they're asking for it because it SAVES me.

 RUNNERS - Don't blister or chafe - GLIDE! Feb 13, 2010
By Y. R. Wu
"The will to win is nothing without the will to prepare - Juma Ikangaa"
As a marathon runner this stuff is a must-have. Anywhere you have skin on skin or clothing on skin contact is susceptible to chafing - typically areas under your underarms, upper inner thigh, inner bicep, etc. For me I can't go more than about 6 miles in loose running shorts before the fabric causes chafing on my thighs.
I don't use this when running in compression shorts or tights, of course.
Vaseline is a cheap fix but it stains and doesn't last very long. Aquaphor lasts a little longer. This stuff has a waxy component that makes it stick around. DON'T USE TOO MUCH! You don't need as much as you might think, if you use too much you will stain your clothes (looks like an oil stain) and it's not cheap.
I also use it in the appropriate places when I do long distance cycling. Also good for your feet and hands to prevent blisters.
Plus:
Lasts all day
Handy applicator
Less less than alternatives
Minus:
Pricey
Faint smell (not a bad smell, but noticable)
Some minor staining if you use too much

 a little pricey - but effectiveness in question Oct 23, 2009
By Jon
so we tried it per a recommendation.
im up in the air
its really pricey, and after a long day it DID limit the chaffing BUT we still had some.
i got a pair of skin tight under armour underwear for hiking and eliminated it all together..

Excellent Oct 11, 2009
By Debbie
I bought this at the suggestion of a friend who is a triathlete. I had bought new hiking boots and was getting blisters between my toes when I went hiking. I applied this products between and around my toes and spent a week hiking in Yosemite and no blisters! I didn't have any discomfort whatsoever. So it worked perfectly. The only very minor downside is that it doesn't fit between the toes. But you can use your fingers to apply it.

Great for long distance runners Jun 21, 2009
By C. Meriam
I was very happy with this product and it was helpful for me when I run long distances (over 5 miles). I've found that it has really smoothed out running and any friction that might otherwise chafe.
My one gripe would be that it seems to crumble a little at first, so I will get crumbs coming off the edges when I use it. It's minor, but annoying when I step on those crumbs on a tile floor...
