Summer Life Saver: Bodyglide Glide Anti-Chafing Balm for Her Review

Disclaimer: The product featured was purchased by me.

Before I discovered Bodyglide, I always wore shorts underneath my dresses in the summertime to prevent chafing. It's been that way for as long as I can remember but this summer it felt particularly hot so I just couldn't bear wearing an extra layer under my dresses anymore.
I googled for some effective anti-chafing solutions and Bodyglide came up several times with many positive reviews so I decided to give it a go. Finding it in stores was not easy as most drugstores do not carry this in Canada (not Walmart, London Drugs, or Shoppers) so I actually had to visit The Running Room which had several different varities on sale. I bought the Bodyglide Anti-Chafe For Her ($9.99 CAD) because it had the best value for the smaller packaging sizes and boy has it been a life saver! Read all about why you need this if you experience chafing.......
