Effectiveness

Pros:

  • "This stuff saved my thighs, and my friends' thighs countless times from that fate."
  • "It protected me from chafing and discomfort perfectly."
  • "This balm is really good and pretty much eliminated chafing for me."
  • "This product stopped my chafing, stopped my bra from rubbing my skin raw, and worked everywhere I used it."
  • "It really works and is a total savior in the sweltering heat and humidity."
  • "I've used it several times with skirts and dresses and it stays for hours."
  • "This fully changed my life I absolutely love wearing skirts now, even short ones."

Cons:

  • "Too good to be true. Absolutely did not work for me."
  • "Only used it a few times and I feel like it doesn’t really help at all and maybe makes my legs stick together more?"
  • "Unfortunately, this product does not work as advertised."
  • "It pretty much made it worse as I could feel my legs sticking together in the spot where I had put this on."
  • "Instead of reducing chafing when I used this product before running I ended up with even worse chafing."
  • "This just made my skin tacky and stick to itself, the opposite result of what I was expecting."
  • "It feels like candle wax. Did nothing for me."

Application & Texture

Pros:

  • "It's not greasy or filmy at all, it's a pretty lightweight balm and you barely feel it, but it makes all the difference!"
  • "It goes on silky smooth and doesn't feel nasty after."
  • "It has basically no scent to it which I like and it glides across the skin super easily."
  • "It goes on like deodorant, has no scent, and is clear on the skin."
  • "This balm comes in a solid, stick form (like a giant chap stick) and I apply it to the places on my body that rub and chafe."
  • "It applied well but if you work out for a long period of time it does not work as well as when first applied."
  • "It is truly unscented which was my 2nd priority."

Cons:

  • "The body glide is sticky and almost leaves a heated sensation."
  • "It is so hard to put on after that first time, it tugs your skin and you practically give yourself a rash to put it on."
  • "It's actually kind of sticky."
  • "It's tacky and I need to reapply a lot during the day."
  • "It feels like I rubbed an Elmer's glue stick on my thighs."
  • "It doesn't glide AT ALL. It pulls at your skin while applying."
  • "It just doesn't seem to work, the product is hard so it doesn't apply easily."

Size & Value

  • "The price is too much for such a tiny product."
  • "Very expensive for what you get!!"
  • "I was so surprised at how small the stick is, really should be sold as trial size."

  • "Now this is what I use anytime I’m wearing shorts, apply once and I’m good for the day!"

Cons:

  • "U do need to apply it a couple of times throughout the day but ill take that over painful inner thighs and wearing shorts under my skirts ever again."
  • "By the end of the day (especially a hot day with lots of sweating and movement) the Body Glide applied areas appeared to 'pill'...or rather it would gunk up and ball up in applied spots."
  • "It needs to be reapplied after a couple hours, and it feels sticky."
  • "I feel like it needs to be reapplied every 8 - 10 hours or so."
  • "You have to keep reapplying it."
  • "Doesn’t really do That good a job. You have to keep reapplying it."
  • "You should plan ahead as you may have to reapply after a few hours."
