I’m a believer!

I am a lifelong curvy lady whose thighs have rubbed together since the beginning of time, probably, so I’m no stranger to chafing. I heard about this product a long time ago, but for some reason I didn’t trust it - it wouldn’t work for me, somehow, and so I disregarded it. I wear cotton bike shorts under my dresses, and that helps a little, but there’s still bare parts of my skin that touch and I can’t wear them with denim shorts, rompers, etc. I continued to read good things, and as summer was fast approaching and we were set to have our first Very Hot weekend of the year, I ordered the smallest size and told myself I’d give it a shot. This morning I applied the balm to my inner thighs under a sundress and spent a day walking around in the heat and sunshine; it was hot, and I was sweating, but miraculously, my thighs felt fine! I applied the balm at around 11:30 am and as I write my review it’s almost 7:30 pm but my legs are going strong. Other parts of me have definitely reacted to being out and about but not my thighs - without this stuff, they would be pink and tender, but they feel soft and happy. I am absolutely impressed. Long story short, this stuff absolutely worked for me; I plan to buy a larger size when this smaller one runs out. Don’t be a doubter like I was!

It works great!

I'm an avid Disney visitor. Considering Fl is basically Hell on Earth, shorts are ideal for walking in heat from 9am to 12am. In the past I've tried baby powder and deoderant for chafing, but they have never lasted more than a few hours. This body glide stuff actually lasted and I literally felt NO tenderness in my inner thighs by the end of the day. I'm talking being able to wear shorts 2 days in a row at the parks with no injury, which I haven't been able to do before! I recommend this to anyone. IMPORTANT TO NOTE THOUGH: I did put this on and immediately put on a chiffon dress after. Sadly, the grease(?) of the body glide got on the dress. I don't fully fault the product, I should have waited or been more aware, but it's definitely something to keep in mind. It hasn't gotten on other clothes so far, but some fabrics are most susceptible to those stains. Also, "greasy" may not be the best word. It's not like oil on your legs, but it's not exactly like dry powder deodorants.

Happily Surprised!

I wasn't sure I liked this product at first to be honest. When you first put it on, it feels like it makes your thighs stick more. I was really worried it was going to make the chafing worse, but I decided to just give it a go and I was happily surprised! I applied some to my inner thighs before heading to the farmers' market where I work for a 12 hour day. It was 90 degrees today and there is no air conditioning in this very crowded market, so I was sweating like crazy! Not to mention with my job there I am constantly walking, squatting, climbing, kneeling, the whole bit, so I was moving around all throughout my day. I had to reapply the balm twice because I sweated it off. But it still lasted a few hours and the stick is smaller than my cell phone so it's so easy to hide in a purse or back pocket. As a woman with thicker thighs wanting to wear shorts on a hot day, this product was a god-send. It's hard to explain what the product feels like, but it stops the friction and makes it so much more comfortable to wear shorts and dresses. I feel like I can finally wear shorts again!

Useful for the gym!

I bought this product to assist me at the gym in two areas: Getting on tight-fitting knee sleeves and while deadlifting in shorts. It has worked fairly well in both respects. I didn't want a mess, an obnoxious smell, or stains on my lifting gear. Body Glide ticked all those boxes, and it hasn't caused any irritation for my sensitive skin. Applying liberally to my shins and calves before warming up for squats helped me pull on my SBD knee sleeves pretty easily. (I've tried all the plastic bag and special folding tricks, and I'm useless with those methods. I just get bits of plastic bag stuck to my leg.) While the sleeves didn't go on as easy as they do when I'm wearing leggings, this did make a difference from when I've tried yanking the sleeves on over my bare (sweating) skin. As for deadlifting: My gym isn't keen on chalk or baby powder. I figured I would try using this in place of the baby powder. I applied liberally to my thighs before warm ups, and this did help reduce friction of the bar rubbing on my legs during lockout. Again, not as good as baby powder or wearing leggings/long pants, but it did enough that I wasn't getting the bar stuck to my thighs.

Omg this stuff is the best! I am a chubby girl and I recently went to Thailand where it was 90° with a 70% humidity every single day I was there. This stuff got me through! I was able to wear dresses and shorts with no chafing! And I only ever had to apply in the morning and once in the middle of the day! My life is forever changed I’ve already ordered two more!

Bodyglide is a LIFE SAVER!

Well, life saver may be a stretch, but it is AWESOME! My family and I had a 7 day trip planned for Disney World... Being a bigger guy, oh how I was dreading the chub rub and the painful rashes I was going to get from that hot humid Florida air and walking 5 - 7 miles per day. Then I stumbled upon Bodyglide and this stuff was AWESOME!! I can't stress enough how great Bodyglide was for this trip. I opened this little bottle of what looks like deodorant and thought "well, this will only last a couple of days." Was I ever wrong. I applied what I felt like was a lot of this product each morning and I think I only advanced the stick once, maybe twice over 7 days. This stuff worked so well, that I could actually tell where I missed because those were the only spots which were in pain the next morning. However, I put Bodyglide over those painful areas, and the Bodyglide actually allowed them to heal as I was walking because there was no chaffing while I walked! I will definitely be using this back home in Texas anytime I have a lot of walking or if I know I'll be in the sun for a while. If you're on the fence about Bodyglide, DO IT! I can tell you, you won't be disappointed.

Quick review

I'm fat, I chafe, it's gross and hurts like hell. This product solves that problem. I started walking 10 miles a day, normally by the 5th mile I'm ready to call someone to pick me up. Not because i'm exhausted, tired, muscles hurt. Because my fat thighs are rubbing together trying to make fire like I'm trying out for Survivorman. As long as I remember to put this on before my walk (applied like deodorant) I am completely chafe free. This product is a lifesaver.

This stuff is great!

So I’ll start by saying I grew up where summer was 2 months long, and we only really had 1-2 weeks of sweltering heat per summer. When I moved to a hot, humid city on the coast for work in my late 20’s, I found exercising outdoors for the 6 months of summer (4 months of which matched my 1-2 sweltering weeks of younger years) difficult, particularly because I’d get heat rash or chafe. With the humidity, once that happens, you’re in for a few weeks of discomfort. I found Body Glide and TriGlide (a similar, more expensive, slightly better-working spray) and started to really enjoy running outdoors in the summer. This solved my heat rash/chafing problem, and despite the awkwardness of the conversation, I routinely recommend it to transplants who move here from cooler climates (which inevitably leads to a conversation like “My gosh, I’ve been having that problem and couldn’t figure out how other people worked around it!”) This stuff works, and at the price of it, you really can’t afford not to try it (you won’t be disappointed).

This stuff saved my beach vacation. My son always gets nasty chafe and rub rash from playing in the water and then running around in his wet shorts. Usually half way through the day he's ready to go because it stings so bad, then it's going home slathering the rash with desitin while he sits on the couch. We put this on his inner thighs every day before we went to the beach and never even had pinkish skin, never mind a rash!! It's very dry, non greasy and goes on smooth and colorless just like a deodorant with no scent either. It's absolutely a lifesaver!!!
