Antiperspirant works like Body Glide!!!

[Blueberry]

We just returned this evening from our trip, and I wanted to thank all who shared the tip that Antiperspirant works to stop chaffing of legs rubbing together (a real problem for us larger size people). I bought a Men's Power Stick at the Dollar Tree and used it on my thighs to keep them from chaffing and my shorts from riding up (another problem) and it worked great!! I had no problem at all this past week with chaffing or shorts riding up, and it was very hot in Orlando. It is much cheaper than Body Glide, and I can definitely say it works!!!....

Thanks for the tip! I was off to buy Body Glide this weekend and it looks like I should head to Dollar Tree instead.

Thanks!

One question though, should I just get a plain un cented gel or what? I was just looking at the price for body glide too! my daughter and I have the same problems with shorts. Thanks for the tip!

I used Body Glide on your trip a couple of weeks ago and it worked awesome, but is higher price of course. Next time I may try this little trick!

and does this work on the feet too?

It seems to me that there was another thread in the not-too-distant past that extolled the use of antipersperant on one's feet to ease the 'squishiness' of Crocs and similar footwear.

I used a cheap men's antiperspirant called Power Stick which is a white solid, not a gel that I got at Dollar Tree..I had a name brank woman's one here but it seemed so dry, trying to rub it on my legs before the trip I bought a mens one. Be careful not to buy just a deoderant it has to be an antipersperspirant I know. I did not try it on my feet at all, just my inner thighs. One day after we got out of the pool i redressed for the parks and forgot to reapply, boy what a differnce, my shorts stuck to my legs and rode up terriblely as usual so I know it works. Let me mention it was high 80s low 90s heat when I used this. I have not used Body Glide, but it seemed high in price so I tried this nifty trick someone suggested a bit ago...just wanted to share with all, it works on thighs and shorts....

Dang. I bought Bodyglide a while ago for our upcoming trip. I can't find it locally so I got some at our last trip to the mall. Oh well...I'll know for next time!

Where do I get body glide?

We always used antiperspirant on our feet when backpacking. Keeps the moisture down and helps prevent blisters. Never used Body Glide and never felt a need to hunt it down.
