Body Glide Unisex Body Original Anti Chafe Balm Stick, Blue, 42 g

Product Information

There are lubricant-type chafing creams that work to reduce friction by making the skin slippery and creating a barrier between the skin and whatever is chafing it,” explains Dr. Hari Kiran Chekuri, a certified skin specialist and the medical head of ClinicSpots. Any petroleum jelly-based product above falls into this camp. It's Worth Noting: This product is a tad more crumbly compared to competitors, so you may have to rub it into your skin with your fingers.

Warm weather may bring about many mood-approved wins (looking at you, Vitamin Sun). But as anyone who’s ever had a swim-suit induced yeast infection knows, it can also bring with it some body-made bummers — chief among them, chafing. Why We Like It: Made for athletes, this anti-chafing cream prevents cheek, thigh, and armpit chafing. Next, “apply an ointment that promotes healing and reduces friction such as petroleum jelly, zinc oxide, or aloe vera,” she says. Then, do your best to protect the area from further friction by wearing loose and breathable clothing, and if necessary, use dressings or bandages to protect the chafed area.The application type doesn’t determine its effectiveness, necessarily. So, you should choose the application type based on how often your lifestyle requires re-application, when and where during your day you plan to apply the product, and whether or not you plan to share the product with your friend. When I wear dresses, shorts, and rompers, I just swipe it wherever my thighs touch. The key is to apply it before your skin is already sweaty and irritated.

Stops trouble before it starts®. Wherever skin is rubbed by clothing, footwear or skin against skin, the balm forms a effective, dry, invisible barrier against rubbing that leads to chafing, foot blisters and raw skin. The formulation makes it easy to apply for all-day protection from skin on skin rubbing, chafing from clothing, or pinching and friction from shoes, protective gear, and other irritants. Great to Know Mainly: By using chafing cream. “Chafing cream can help prevent chafing from happening in the first place by creating a protective barrier between the skin and clothing or other skin surfaces,” says Dr. Chekuri. Why We Like It: Just three to five swipes will last you all day long, whether you’re at work, on a trail, or in the water (yes, really!).
