It also doesn’t leave any white marks on my clothing. The solid looks like a deodorant container and is white that disappears when rubbed in.

Chub Rub Remedy

Thigh chafing can really ruin my day. Nalgenes aside, Bodyglide is probably the #1 product at REI that I find useful outside of a sporting/outdoors context. For a long time, I simply couldn't wear dresses, skirts, or shorter shorts when I had planned to walk over half a mile in the day without a pair of bike shorts underneath. Bodyglide changed my life by reducing thigh chafing. Generally, I'd feel comfortable walking a couple miles with a single application of Bodyglide.Even for those without big thighs, I find this product extremely helpful in the process of breaking in new shoes or to reduce friction in uncomfortable situations. I like my hiking boots, but after 25 miles, some bodyglide really helps. I love this product so much that I keep the large one on hand ... MoreThigh chafing can really ruin my day.

First 20 Use = Useless | Cap Falls Off | Reapply Every 40 Mins

I’m disappointed in this product esp since so many redditors raved over this. 1. The first 20 uses-it’s useless. The “glide” stick is still ROUGH aka you’re not really rubbing any of it into your skin. After the 20th use, it finally smoothens down and works 2. This product runs out in 40 minutes during a workout. Gotta reapply. Really annoying considering the Megababe can last at least 80 mins with 1 use 3. This cap is so loose, I put the item in my bag & the cap fell off. Like whoa… I’m super disappointed.

Got chunky inner thighs?

This stuff works great. Prevents chaffing and lasts a LONG time. Tried vaseline and other products, none come close. When the weather turns warm enough to run in shorts out comes the body glide. Have used this for "shorts" runs for at least 10 years.

Great product, but can we talk about packaging?

First off, I really like body glide, very helpful when running or cycling. That said, I regret buying it online. I really wish that both REI and body glide would rethink the clamshell packaging that they ship it in. Plastic waste remains a huge ecological problem and one would expect a brand like REI to do a better job in requiring their suppliers to avoid them. Unfortunately, this makes me rethink buying items like this online, since I am unable to make an informed choice about buying an item packaged like this.

I was skeptical at first, but, I had to do something.

My chaffing, (inside my thighs - crotch - groin area) was red, blistering, and painful. Cleaning the area, after a run, and applying lotion did not work. I run 8 miles a day, and I was in pain, showers hurt, and wearing shorts (with the elastic bands), were making things worse. I was embarrassed, and thought there was something wrong with me. On a recent visit to RoadRunner with my boys (new shoes for the boys - before a Florida Disney Trip), I vowed to look, and ask if I had options. As one reviewer pointed out: Florida in summer, and running? So, I had an impending 8 mile Florida "daily" run for 10 straight days on my radar. Coupled with 8 to 10 straight days, in the Florida heat, in shorts, and lots of walking in the Disney resort and theme parks.It is my own ... MoreMy chaffing, (inside my thighs - crotch - groin area) was red, blistering, and painful.

My burning rash has disappeared. I apply "liberally" before each run, and after I shower before dressing.I apologize to anyone offended by any perceived overly-graphic details above. But, if you're questioning yourself, or concerned there is no hope for you I want each of you to know you're not alone. Chaffing is a real symptom for distance runners, and only until the last year, have I experienced this worst case scenario.When debating what brand to purchase I went with the brand used endorsed, by the UST&F and others. This was my first time purchasing something to help with my chaffing. And I couldn't be happier with the result.DBJ

Life changing

Tried the Megababe balm and it did nothing, so gave this one a try. World of difference. Reapplied about 3x/day while walking roughly 20,000 steps in shorts at Universal Studios with zero chafing. Compact and easy to reapply when hitting the bathroom. This product has opened up so many opportunities for me as I can now wear shorts/skirts every day in the summer. All I can say is thank you!

Marathon godsend

Kept chafing to a minimum during a 4.5-hour marathon - the second half of which was in the rain! I'm a woman but purchased Body Glide Original Anti Chafe Balm because the reviews were better than for the woman-specific line. No complaints here. My lower back (around my waistband) still chafed a bit, but it really wasn't bad, and I'm not sure any product could really combat 4.5 hours of running in high humidity then rain.

Review of Body Glide | Body - The Original Anti Chafe Balm - 42g

Tried it a few times works well and leaves you not feeling wet. Has worked well, is it worth the money as vaseline works just as well. Comes in a handy size tub, easy to apply. Need a long run half marathon/ marathon to see how it does then so far only went 14km

This works!

I keep this in my backpacking, hiking, climbing, and cycling bags. It has prevented saddles sores and redness. I use it most when sweating when the rubbing is most likely to create chaffing. It stays on and does it job. No reactions or issues with using it in the bikini area. They have smaller versions too that are less weight and take up less space if this is a concern.
