    I have been using unscented stick anti-persperant myself . . . but I may try this body glide of which you speak . . .

    As for the folks who don't need to use, I have always had an issue, even pre-kilted, especially back before you could get long-legged athletic shorts. My thighs are simply too massive. Might have something to do with the bulk they need to support . . .

    I go ahead and buy the larger size from this place

    http://www.ultrafit-endurance.com/bodyglide.html

    most only carry the small sticks

    I also picked up a "sample" stick at an adventure race that is about 1" tall, perfect for the sporran.

    I was using Body Glide as well when I first wore my kilt. I ended up losing a great deal of weight (which is why I no longer have a kilt) and did not need it anymore. I suppose once I get my new tank, I'll have to reassess the situation. It sure worked when I needed it, though.

    Wow, I had no clue that people from around the world were taking similar measures while in a kilt. Like i said before though, i'm going to have to purchase some of this body glide that everyone keeps raving about. The powder's that we use only last about an hour or two, so we're constantly "powdering our noses" all night long.

    I'll have to pass the word to my brethren out here, because there's no way that i'm going to share my bodyglide. That just sounds wrong in so many ways.

    I use cornstartch myself.
    Cheap and not bad for you as it doesn't actually clog your pores.

    I grew up using cornstarch as a substitute for powder. It works well.

    I've also used a product called Bag Balm, though it is a bit greasy. I'll have to try Bodyglide. I'll check for it at my bike shop tonight when I pick up my bike.

    Furry Celt is correct...the problem with powder for babies or young kids is in the danger they get it into their lungs (a very bad thing!).
    You all have convinced me and my chubby legs to try Body Glide, too!!

    With powder there is always that "dandruff" that will be falling as well!

    Body Glide helped relieve a problem of "heat rash" that was constant for the last 20+ years (yes, both summer and winter, in Sacramento,CA, Lake Tahoe, and in the NY-NJ area)

    I think it's great!
