Ok so does the Bodyglide help with chaffing of legs too? My DH had huge problems with that last trip, can it be used on thighs too?

YES!k It can be used for chafing and I have used it for chafing and it worked great!

The active ingredient in Bodyglide is zinc oxide, if that helps anyone. There's probably a generic version out there somewhere. (It's that the white stuff people used to put on their noses as sunblock.) It's also the active ingredient in a lot of diaper rash creams, so folks with kids might have some of that stuff just lying around the house.

Where in a store do you find Bodyglide? I have never been able to find moleskin for my Disney trips until someone posting on this thread mentioned it was by Dr Scholls. That was the "jog" that I needed to be able to find it. I have always been looking with the bandaids. I never thought to look with the foot care products! So, before I pull my hair out trying to find Bodyglide, I should probably find out where to look.

You might try going to the Bodyglide website -- there's a place on there where you can put in your zip code and it will tell you where you can get it in your area. The only place I could get it here is at a bike shop. (Wasn't at Dick's for some reason.)

Thanks for the suggestions. I did look at their website & it looks like EMS & the Sports Authority also carry it in my area. I'm glad I asked all of you. I would never had thought to look in these stores. I would have spent my time looking in the local pharmacies. Thanks again!!!

drugstore.com carries it as well. I have had pretty good service from these guys.

I found that my socks gave me blisters on my little toes. They were the "cushioned" running kind that I bought a couple of weeks before our trip and they rubbed the wrong way on my pinky toes. So make sure you wear comfy socks that don't rub anywhere. I put Bodyglide on my toes and changed to my regular socks and they felt a lot better.
