Gold Bond Friction Defense Stick Unscented 1.75 Ounce

Works great with no greasy feeling

I discovered this during the middle of a hot, humid Texas summer and it was a godsend. It stops "friction fires" before they can begin when you have hefty thighs. No joke. It goes on smoothly on your inner thighs where your pants or shorts would rub, and it stays on all day. It does not stain dark slacks or leave any white residue marks on whatever type of pants you might be wearing. Since discovering it, I have never ever been without two of these in my medicine chest at all times since that icky Texas summer.

This product works like a charm and prevents friction chafing you might get with longer runs. I've used it for years and it's protected my groin and nips very well.

I was looking for an alternative to overpriced chamois creme and browsing amazon I came across this. These are my first impressions after using it on a 1:45 mountain bike ride. It went on my chamois very easily and seemed to do the job well. Really chamois creme is just there to provide a touch of lubrication to keep your shorts and skin comfortable on longer rides. I liked that I could just glide this on without having to spread it with my fingers...very convenient. First impressions are this is good product and I expect I'll keep using it. A fraction of the cost of bike chamois creme!

I really like the GoldBond friction stick. What I don't understand is the pricing. If you buy one it’s one price, if you buy two pack it’s another price usually about the same price As a single, but times two, if you buy the six pack the price doubles the price of a single, in other words it is about double the price of a single times six. WATCH THE PRICING.

Beginning in February this year, I have been training for a 100-mile 4-day foot march coming up in July. I have put many miles in since then, sometimes up to 25 miles in a day. I have rather large thighs that rub together when I walk and run so you can imagine they get pretty irritated during such long walks. Most of the time it's so much that I have to change the way I walk to a slightly bowlegged gait, which is not comfortable to sustain for a long time. I haven't really used an anti-friction formula other than some petroleum jelly previously, so I can't compare products. The only thing I can say is that it works.Pros:1. Comes in a compact deodorant-style stick for easy, mess-free application.2. Dries quickly, or at least doesn't feel "wet" after a bit.3. Works for hours, even during constant rubbing.4. Unscented, better for outdoors.Cons:1. It says non-greasy, but it feels kind of "wet" on application, kind of like somewhere between a deodorant gel and soft solid.I must admit though, rubbing these in between my thighs all the time really wasn't a routine that I wanted to adopt. So instead, I bought some nice compression underwear that covers the thighs and I haven't had any problems since. Compression is also good for blood circulation. This product (or any other anti-friction formula) doesn't help blood circulation.

I am not a runner or athlete. I use this to combat chub rub. This stuff is AMAZING. I never wore dresses or skirts before I found this, because it would hurt after a couple of hours. I use this on my inner thighs and now I can wear dresses every single day with absolutely no chaffing. I cannot recommend this product enough. It also works for shoes that don't fit well. I just put it on places on my feet that shows pinch and I get an all day wear out of heels that I can normally only wear for 3-4 hours.

I'm not a runner but I've been dealing with a chafing issue for years. Since I've been using the product I haven't had skin irritations or rashes I've been treating with various rash treatments. I apply it in the morning after showering and it lasts all day. It work better than powders and im not aware of any health issues associated with some powders.
