Yesterday I was fully embracing my Rx of rest the leg and figured since I would be just lounging around the house with only my canine companions, I channeled my inner hippie and went bra-less. Well that was a huge mistake! It would seem that the bra works much in the same way that Body Glide does in preventing chafing. Running has NEVER done to me what these stupid crutches have. Live and learn. And the girls are not running free today.
What is interesting about this whole painful lesson is the amount of different antichafing products that are out there! I went to google images to get a picture to put on this post and was bombarded by products (and some quite distubing images of chafing....you've been warned). More of them seemed to be marketed towards cyclists but(t) runners could benefit from them as well.

| Body Glide is to antichafing as Q-tip is to cotton swab (in our house anyway) |
 |
| nubutte looks a little thick for runners' use, but would be great under my arms right about now |
 |
| Silke had me at their clean lined label |
 |
| Sport Shield is actually what we use and have never had problems! |
 |
I think this logo for Ruby's Lube is my favorite!
With so many great options out there (and extremely fun packaging), I may need to try some of these out!

Haha, this is a great post! Whether you're running or not...sometimes these issues happen, and it's always good to know what's out there! I'm partial to Bodyglide (or various other generic store versions of Bodyglide) -- works like a charm!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jennifer! I was honestly suprised by all the choices...I think a party-pack of a variety of these would make a fun gift for the athlete! Hope my family is reading this... ;-)
