Texture and Application

Pros:

  • "The consistency is buttery smooth and it doesn't irritate my sensitive skin."
  • "This works so well. It’s not sticky, has no fragrance to it, and the application is like using a solid deodorant."
  • "Keeps your skin smooth & moisturized the right way."
  • "It does feel very smooth gliding on."
  • "Easy application, unscented and it works! This product kept me from chafing during workouts."
  • "Not greasy, no smell and easy to apply."
  • "It applies like deodorant and if it's too cold, it won't glide as well."

Cons:

  • "The stick is super dry and even hard to spread."
  • "I think I must have used this wrong. I applied it like deodorant but to my inner thighs while they were dry, and they immediately became tacky and stuck together."
  • "It was very hard to glide over the skin and instantly felt sticky and uncomfortable."
  • "Does not go on as smooth as I thought it would."
  • "It pulls my skin during application, and doesn't leave any of the product on my skin."
  • "It is so sticky, and does not help with chafing at all."
  • "It is a bit difficult to 'rub' on as it doesn't really 'glide.' It kind of drags across your skin so you really have to rub it back and forth a good bit to get the coverage."

Effectiveness and Longevity

Pros:

  • "I've done a few long runs and a half marathon and absolutely no chafing!"
  • "This stuff took care of all of that. I’ve had no issues since using it."
  • "Prevents chaffing like nothing else."
  • "It was put to the ultimate test and it worked perfectly. I did not chafe at all."
  • "Keeps chaffing down during exercise or just when you’re wearing a dress on a warm day. Also use it on my feet with new shoes."
  • "I'm a fitness instructor, and I've had difficulty with sportsbra chaffing for yeeears. I tried this stuff out of desperation, and it absolutely WORKED--even with my uber-cheap sportsbras!"
  • "Since using the Body Glide I have not had one spot of chafing!"

Cons:

  • "It doesn't last all day -- in the afternoon of a workday, I'll start to feel my legs chaff."
  • "For the first 3 hours it worked extremely well and I was walking and standing throughout the day but after awhile it did begin to wear off but overall, it was effective for the most part."
  • "Initially the body glide works well but as soon as you start to sweat it breaks down and just disappears."
  • "It held up all day and I didn't have to reapply. Best of all, no burning, no chafing."
  • "It also didn't seem to last for very long so I would need to keep this with me to reapply."
  • "Sadly, it does not work. It didn’t reduce the chafing effects and instead caused more friction."
  • "The glide stays put for about two hours of continual use (i.e. - walking) before it needs to be reapplied."

Scent and Skin Sensitivity

Pros:

  • "It has little to no smell."
  • "There is no real scent, and that is okay with me."
  • "I love how it's fragrance-free and doesn't stain clothing, making it discreet and easy to apply."
  • "It does not have a scent and works well on sensitive skin."
  • "It’s comfortable. It’s easy to use."
  • "This little stick of magic has saved my whole family in our annual Disney trips! It blocks chaffing, blisters, skin rubbing under t-shirt arms, etc. We can’t go without it! ZERO residue or smell!"
  • "It does not smell funny and it lasts a long time."

Cons:

  • "The only downside is that it does not smell good at all."
  • "Not impressed. This stuff smells horrible."
  • "It smells AWFUL almost like a really heavy burning plastic scent??"
  • "also, the product has no scent. which didn't help either."
  • "The only bad thing is it has a weird smell."
  • "It almost knocked me over... it smelled like: bile."
  • "Product arrived an absolute mess... and also smells awful."

Value and Packaging

Pros:

  • "Fantastic product for amazing price."
  • "Great product! I can see why it gets so many 5-star reviews."
  • "For travelling, this size is GREAT."
  • "Compact for marathon pouch, in case you need during the race. Very lightweight. Very good."
  • "It’s comfortable. It’s easy to use."
  • "It is really small but you’ll get your moneys worth."
  • "Fits in my purse perfectly!"

Cons:

  • "First off, I was shocked at how small this container was."
  • "I am very disappointed in this product. I was surprised how SMALL the box it came was, even more disappointment was felt when I opened the box. The product was broken."
  • "The packaging is TERRIBLE - the cap does not fit securely and falls off if you look at it wrong."
  • "The size is ridiculous! It’s the same price as the regular size which I thought I was getting."
  • "I think it is very expensive for such a small amount of product."
  • "The packaging looks much different than the actual product but if you think you are getting something the size of a deodorant stick, you are wrong."
  • "Dude, what the heck. I used to buy these in a regular deodorant-sized stick for less than $10. Now it's $12-$13 for maybe a third of the size it was before."
