Anti-Chafing products (a list and your input)
Posted: Thu Aug 15, 2013 7:41 pm
Hi folks,
I was researching anti-chafing products as an alternative to Bodyglide. Yikes! There's a lot of products out there. I thought a comprehensive list of anti-chafing products (by no means complete) might be useful and a research time-saver. Hopefully this list will be a little helpful. Note: I've included some of the better-known chamois creams as well (a specific bicycling category of anti-chafing). I have tried to include the company website as well as an outside review link (usually Amazon) where possible. If you have experience or recommendations on these or any other anti-chafing products missed (bad or good), please add your comments.

July 2015 Update:
Used Rocket Pure on the run and swim, haven't taken it up to IM/Ultra yet.
It's not bad. A little more "wetter" feel on the skin and (perhaps) less tenacious than BodyGlide or RunGuard.
The tea tree oil ingredient has a bit of a scent. Bottom line: I prefer RunGuard for the money.
