“I love this stuff! Holy cow- I was pretty skeptical when I bought this for my wedding. This stuff REALLY works, I put this on before my wedding dress and I did not have any chaffing or uncomfortable feeling at all and I never reapplied it that day. I have used this product many times since with no issues. I have even used this on my feet/heels to prevent blisters.” — Nicole Cook-Pullin
“These are my summer go tos to wear under skirts and dresses and around the house with T-shirts. They do a great job of preventing the dreaded thigh “chub rub” chaffing due to skin friction.” — lizzy caston
“My mom used powder for her chafed areas and it would get everywhere. Now that I’m getting older, I’m discovering that I need it too, but didn’t want that mess and also preferred something more discrete. This stuff is awesome! It goes on like a gel and dries like a powder with no mess. It also lasts longer, no scent, and no residue! Highly recommend!” — Amaranth
“I’ve been using body glide for the past few years and it’s helped tremendously against chaffing. I’ve run over 30 marathons and I make sure I use this before every training run and every event I attend. Great product!” — Charles DeVos
“I bought these due to a suggestion I saw online. I’m a thicccccckkk thigh woman and this causes chafing any time I want to wear a dress, skirt or even short shorts, these solve that! This product is amazing, take your measurements and buy them ladies! I only wore them for about 20 minutes but I did every move test possible and they stay in place! Can’t wait to wear them for a whole day!” — Chauntae
