The EMS by me doesn't have it, but REI does. along with the numerous bike shops around.

Talcum powder helps but I'm curious to hear what other members may do to fight rub rash. I saw 'Bodyglide' on Bear's site: anyone try it?

Inquiring minds want to know...

BodyGlide is not good!

IT IS WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If I knew how, I'd post that in letters three feet high!

I bought two tubes from Bear, and it has been a lifesaver. Until it arrived, I'd be walking bowlegged after a day at work int chafing jeans. God Bless him, but Bear mailed the stuff as soon as I placed the order, he didn't even wait for the check to arrive.

As an alternative, visit http://www.sternoff.com/, they have a locator that will tell you about BodyGlide dealers near you.

Regardless of the cost, BUY IT!!

It is well worth the cost, and would be cheap at double the price.

Hi all - picked up two containers BodyGlide -- for those who don't know it comes in solid-deodorant type push-up tubes. VERY happy with how it worked. Was at the Round Hill Highland Games most of Saturday and at a friend's home unitl late moving about all the time. NO CHAFING!! NO DISCOMFORT!!! It rocks. Fidn it, buy it and make it part of your kit! :-)

Bodyglide is SOOOOO good I even use it when I have to wear bifurcated garments. Works good for them too.

I get the regular size (like a deoderant size) for home, and they have a small size that's great to carry in your sporran or kilt pocket.

Only negative thing I've found about Bodyglide so far is that here in Arizona it seems to melt down in the summer heat while its in the plastic case in my kilt pocket. If I pull it out to refresh sometimes the product comes off in the lid. :confused:

Monistat makes a good anti chafing cream. Don't laugh. I heard of it on the UK user group and went searching for it at my local pharmacy. You'll find it next to the stuff women use for yeast infections.

It works great! You might want to send the wife in for it if you are the least bit embarrassed by womens's problems.
