"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 am a triathlete and have been using Bodyglide for 3 or 4 years now and have gone thru at least 3 sticks."
"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."
"As other's have noted- it's NOT creamy or like a gel deodorant, etc- it's sort of a pasty white consistency that you have to work into your skin with the stick (especially around angles- my shoulderblades take a little work)."
"I've been using BodyGlide for at least 8 to 10 years, found it at my local Running Shop, tried it, and have been happy ever since."
"One more note, athletic underwear (like Under Armour or Nike Pro) helps with chafing, but this is the first product that completely eliminated it for me."
"They all helped to an extent but any time I went over 5-6 miles, I bled and basically couldn't run for the next 3-4 days till I healed - heck I couldn't even walk properly after that coz the shirt would rub against the tender affected area."

"As that shock and the happy brain chemicals from running wore off I noticed some significant discomfort in several key areas of my flesh... In short, if you are a runner I highly recommend coating pretty much anything that might rub against anything else with this... 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 am a triathlete and have been using Bodyglide for 3 or 4 years now and have gone thru at least 3 sticks... She explained that there can be some variation from batch to batch and asked me for the lot number and expiration date of the item and sent me a new one right away and they threw in some samples of "Liquified Powder" which I thought was a nice touch... I emailed the same customer rep again and she replied with this: "The top millimeter or so of the stick is dry but underneath reports back tell us the product works just fine."
"If you already have issues, use products like body powders and large bandaids to get the skin back to normal... Body Glide protects me all day long and keeps me from having painful chafing issues... 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."
"After trying all sorts of moisturizers and even inserting thin gauze pads into my suit as a last ditch effort to cut down the irritation, I ordered some Glide to see if it might work... I won't say it prevented irritation from the seams of my suit and rashguard completely, because when I get out of the water, there is still redness... As other's have noted- it's NOT creamy or like a gel deodorant, etc- it's sort of a pasty white consistency that you have to work into your skin with the stick (especially around angles- my shoulderblades take a little work)."
"I've been using BodyGlide for at least 8 to 10 years, found it at my local Running Shop, tried it, and have been happy ever since... After using BodyGlide I found it would help me run through existing chafing which gave my thighs time to recover... I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who finds body parts rubbing and causing chafing."
"One HUGE concern is that I also tried to use it to prevent my chest strap HR monitor from rubbing into my skin, and it worked the exact opposite... I would recommend this product to anybody who runs, or even walks and has to deal with chafing problems. One more note, athletic underwear (like Under Armour or Nike Pro) helps with chafing, but this is the first product that completely eliminated it for me."
"I have long suffered from the excruciating pain of chafed nips and I have tried everything - band aids, nip protectors, tech running shirts, running shirtless (which I do all summer but can't do other times of the year), the works. They all helped to an extent but any time I went over 5-6 miles, I bled and basically couldn't run for the next 3-4 days till I healed - heck I couldn't even walk properly after that coz the shirt would rub against the tender affected area... I have now been using this for almost a month and it has really helped."

"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... As that shock and the happy brain chemicals from running wore off I noticed some significant discomfort in several key areas of my flesh... I didn't feel great but I didn't have any chafing so the Glide worked... I haven't had any chafing at all since I started using it... In short, if you are a runner I highly recommend coating pretty much anything that might rub against anything else with this... 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 am a triathlete and have been using Bodyglide for 3 or 4 years now and have gone thru at least 3 sticks... I mainly use Bodyglide on my toes and, because this new one is so hard, I am unable to get enough of the product on my toes to prevent blisters when I run... She explained that there can be some variation from batch to batch and asked me for the lot number and expiration date of the item and sent me a new one right away and they threw in some samples of "Liquified Powder" which I thought was a nice touch... I emailed the same customer rep again and she replied with this: "The top millimeter or so of the stick is dry but underneath reports back tell us the product works just fine. Some customers, who said that the stick did not work for them have found that the Liquified Powder works great, even under their sports bras. We had a lady tell us it worked great for her marathon and a running club in Afghanistan uses the Liquified Powder exclusively for all of their chafing... " I tried cutting off the first 1/2 cm of the stick, but I still have the same problem."
"If you already have issues, use products like body powders and large bandaids to get the skin back to normal... 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... Body Glide protects me all day long and keeps me from having painful chafing issues... 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... , I would imagine this product could do wonders for those areas that go through a lot rubbing."
"5 hours a day, and because I have to wear swimsuits that don't increase drag, they often cut straight into my skin at the seams and the chemicals and/or salt in the water doesn't help the situation. It was getting to the point of being seriously painful (and therefore, super distracting) as I swam and I found myself stopping every half hour to tug at my suit and rashguard into a better position. After trying all sorts of moisturizers and even inserting thin gauze pads into my suit as a last ditch effort to cut down the irritation, I ordered some Glide to see if it might work... I won't say it prevented irritation from the seams of my suit and rashguard completely, because when I get out of the water, there is still redness. But while I am IN the water, I barely feel the "hotspots" at all, which is a HUGE relief... So I recommend this product highly for swimmers- I would imagine it would work even better out of the water. As other's have noted- it's NOT creamy or like a gel deodorant, etc- it's sort of a pasty white consistency that you have to work into your skin with the stick (especially around angles- my shoulderblades take a little work)."
"I've been using BodyGlide for at least 8 to 10 years, found it at my local Running Shop, tried it, and have been happy ever since. I don't use it on a regular basis, but only when I feel friction in my inner thighs which is caused from my cotton underwear. I've tried other types of underwear, but none were as comfortable. I sweat a lot, so my undies get wet and rub a lot which would cause chafing (red and raw inner thighs). After using BodyGlide I found it would help me run through existing chafing which gave my thighs time to recover... I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who finds body parts rubbing and causing chafing... I might try this on my next long hike and see how it works, but the other reviews are a good read."
"Would give a five star IF the stick was bigger or I didn't have to apply so much per use... I have used this product for a few weeks now, and have unfortunately had to stop using it... One HUGE concern is that I also tried to use it to prevent my chest strap HR monitor from rubbing into my skin, and it worked the exact opposite... When I say extremely painful, I mean they are in very sensitive places and I nearly cry ripping them out--which is a lot coming from a big dude... I previously used Vaseline, but occasionally that made hair clumps even more painful, so I tried this product... I would recommend this product to anybody who runs, or even walks and has to deal with chafing problems. One more note, athletic underwear (like Under Armour or Nike Pro) helps with chafing, but this is the first product that completely eliminated it for me."
"I have long suffered from the excruciating pain of chafed nips and I have tried everything - band aids, nip protectors, tech running shirts, running shirtless (which I do all summer but can't do other times of the year), the works. They all helped to an extent but any time I went over 5-6 miles, I bled and basically couldn't run for the next 3-4 days till I healed - heck I couldn't even walk properly after that coz the shirt would rub against the tender affected area. Finally got to reading up forums and someone had mentioned BodyGlide. I have now been using this for almost a month and it has really helped. It's basically a roll-on stick that keeps the area nicely lubricated, preventing the shirt from rubbing that causes chafing... Doesn't stain clothes, not something I particularly care about for my running shirt but worth noting. I've been doing just under 10 miles three times a week and don't feel a thing!"
