you just need to be you

I know. I know. I didn’t believe the hype either.

But?

Let’s just say I am no stranger to chafing. I’m a sweaty girl, with some chubb, chestily endowed, and I run a lot. So my sports bra, my shorts, my freaking headband - everything chafes. 

And it hurts!

Like all good millenials, I took to the Goog. Everyone everywhere was talking about this crap called body glide. And like all good… jaded girls? I didn’t believe them. At all. But then after my first really long run I ran out of neosporin trying to heal the welts under the ladies.

Ouch.

So I bought some. And I used it. The verdict? It is AMAZING. AMAZING. Wherever I cover with the deodorant-like substance is chafe-free. Seriously, after my half I had one rash-like rub burn thing, and it was JUST below where I had stopped with the body glide.

I don’t know what I was thinking!

It smells a little… different. Like baby powder mixed with water? Maybe? Certainly not bad, and let’s be honest - if you’re worried about smelling funny running probably isn’t for you. But it is SO GOOD that I am seriously considering buying a running skirt.

AND I HAVE THIGHS.

Big, Italian, soccer-playing thighs that rub together. And before body glide, there was no way I would buy one of those gorgeous things. But now?

NOW?

I’m gonna rock that bitch. Thanks body glide!
