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!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': '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.\n\nI 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!\n\nI 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.\n\nLong 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!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Ouch ouch ouch.\nI’m a 24-time marathon finisher and used to by this stuff by the armload. I swore by it.\n\nI had a massive stash of it so only just now had to buy the type with the newer packaging.\n\nI’m sorry for the sweaty TMI pic but I just got done with a run and I lost about 1,000 layers of skin. Are there organs showing? Bones? The very depths of my soul?\n\nI wore attire I’ve worn for hundreds of runs. The only thing that changed was the brand new container of BodyGlide and how loud I’m going to scream when the hot shower water hits my shredded skin.\n\nNOT RECOMMENDED.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': '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.\nIMPORTANT 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.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2013', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I'm fat, I chafe, it's gross and hurts like hell.\n\nThis 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."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': " This stuff really is AWESOME. It really works and I don't know where it has been all my life. I started looking for something for thigh chafing after running into a few issues (not fun) and I read about a few options, of which Body Glide fell to the top of each list. I bought it and it was fantastic. No rubbing, no issue. And it is super easy to use, just slide it on like you'd use deodorant. I give it a few good swipes on any area that may even think about touching and I'm done. And it is light as a feather, leaves no residue (see my photo and video). It was so light that I actually thought that it would not work as I was expecting some slippery substance, but... not the case.\n\nAnd I have taken this Body Glide on the ULTIMATE test... a vacation to Mexico where chaffing thighs become both me and my husband's problem due to the constant wet skin and the constant walking. So we both used it on a hike in a Mexican jungle. I just knew this would fail me. I was sweating, my things were sweating, my husband was sweating. I was expecting to have the stuff just wear off from the sweat and all the walking... but NOPE! It stayed on. I even took a dip in a waterfall and it was still on to take me back to the beach. Neither one of us had any problems and my husband was equally impressed. He said we weren't ever going on a vacation again without it. lol!\n\nSo I absolutely recommend this product. Try it, you will not be dissapointed!"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': '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.\n\nWhen 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.\n\nI 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!”)\n\nThis stuff works, and at the price of it, you really can’t afford not to try it (you won’t be disappointed).'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I’m so glad I found this product. I’m a curvy gal so I’m no stranger to chafing. It’s been something that I’ve struggled with for the longest time. Right now I’m trying to lose some weight so I go to spin class in the evening after work. Even when I wear the proper attire however, I’ll end up with a rash on my thighs. It’s not just a little bit either it’s bad to the point where it makes me not want to cycle anymore.\n\nWell…I talked to my coworker the other day about my problem and she told me to give this thing a try. Honestly I’ve never heard of it before but I’ll take her word for it. When I went home, I bought myself one from amazon. Costed me around ten bucks or so.\n\nIt came quickly in two days. I applied the balm to my inner thighs under my shorts and went off to spin class. It was hot and I sweated bullets but my thighs didn’t bother me at all! I’m not sure if I should be reapplying it after a while but so far so good. This balm has definitely earned a spot in my gym bag next to  these earplugs  that help cut down on the noise during class.\n\nI don’t really have any complaints but I do want to mention that the balm is kind of sticky and gummy. It’s not what I expected, I thought it would be smoother but it works. Texture wise it almost feels like vaseline or petroleum jelly when you put it on. As soon as you get moving however, it kind of melts so that you don’t feel it anymore.\n\nPROS:\n- Does a great job of preventing chafing\n- Small and compact\n- No weird smell\n- Lasts long enough for my spin class\n- Doesn’t leave residue on my clothes\n\nCONS:\n- Texture is a little weird\n- The container is kinda small'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2016', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "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!!!"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "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!"}]
