Thigh Chafing

Short Bodyglide Anti Chaffing review.

Well after reading this thread and spending years running, biking, hiking etc in all weathers I decided to latch onto a bit of Bodyglide. Ive run everything from fast 5k push till you puke runs to 100 mile trail races. Every weather from blistering heat to freezing cold. In shorts, tights and everything in between. Normally I have used vasaline but times have changed and so does chemistry. Set off today for a mid afternoon run. Some might check my sanity as it was 97 and sunny. I figured with my running kilt I would, and did, stay cool. I had recently bought some ultra light 6 inch length running briefs to wear under said kilt but wanted to get down to basics. Got to the trails and spread the Bodyglide on both inner thighs. At first I thought it wasnt going to work as my thighs were sort of rubbing together but as I got going and the sweat built up things seemed to work well. 40 minutes into my run and I stopped for a second realizing I had not chaffing issues yet. 1 hour 20 minutes to my car again and my thighs were happy. Not a bit of chaffing, and I have chaffed thighs no matter how much I sweat. The real test will be winter running but Ive a few months to wait for that. So one more vote on this issue for bodyglide.

Wow, thanks guys. I myself have not suffered from this problem. In fact, it is one of the reasons I like to wear kilts; I find much less "friction" than from/when wearing shorts/trousers. However, my dear wife has always had this problem -- regardless of her weight, thick or thin, and ironically, why she doesn't like to wear a kilt, skirt or dress though she does like the "un-bifurcated" look. Body Glide to the rescue!!! Thanks again for sharing something we'd probably not otherwise know about. Ain't XMarks great?
