1. An anti-chafe balm to prevent any and all painful skin-on-skin rubbing — be it on your legs, arms, nips, or anywhere else, whenever you’re on the move in oppressively sticky weather.

I first used this on a hike last summer and wow! Game-changer — I sometimes chafe on my arms when I wear a tank top, both hiking and running, but with this, absolutely nothing! It now gets packed as an essential in my “summer-go” bag. I can’t believe I’ve lived my entire life in the hot, humid New England summers without knowing about this.

Promising reviews: “Body Glide will always be stocked in my home from now on. I’m so happy I decided to give this anti-chafing product a try! It actually does exactly what it claims to do. Both my husband and I have had problems with chafing for years and years, nothing I tried helped much at all. That’s why I’m so blown away that this has totally made chafing no longer an issue. I use it on my inner thighs and under my boobs and I haven’t gotten a rash since I started using Body Glide. My husband uses it on his inner thighs also and well, pardon me for sharing private information but, his butt crack chafing was his biggest problem area. I ordered a second stick for him specifically to use in that place and he no longer suffers there either. I honestly didn’t expect it to work as well as it actually does! It’s not greasy, it works all day long, even in the miserable hot and humid Midwest summer. I highly recommend at least giving it a try! Just be sure to apply before you start off your day, before any sweat starts coming on.” —The Petersens
