Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Why do triathletes need anti-chafe products? Triathlons involve prolonged exposure to water, sweat, and friction from wetsuits, cycling shorts, and running gear. These conditions can lead to chafing, blisters, and irritation, especially in sensitive areas like the neck, underarms, and inner thighs. Anti-chafe products like BodyGlide, Tri Slide, and chamois creams create a protective barrier to reduce friction and keep your skin comfortable.
2. How do I choose between BodyGlide, Tri Slide, and chamois cream? Each product serves a slightly different purpose. BodyGlide is a stick-based balm ideal for all-around use, especially for wetsuit chafing and blisters. Tri Slide’s spray application is perfect for quick coverage before swims or transitions. Chamois creams are best for cycling, providing soothing, long-lasting protection for saddle contact points. Many triathletes use a combination of these products depending on the event or training session.
3. Are these products safe for my gear? Yes! BodyGlide and Tri Slide are designed to be non-greasy and won’t damage wetsuits, tri suits, or cycling shorts. Chamois creams are formulated to be compatible with chamois pads in cycling and triathlon shorts, ensuring your gear stays in top condition.
4. How often should I apply anti-chafe products during a race? For shorter races (sprint or Olympic distance), a single application before the race is usually sufficient. For longer races like Half Ironman or Ironman, consider reapplying during transitions, especially before the bike and run legs. Tri Slide’s spray is particularly convenient for quick touch-ups.
5. Can I use these products for other sports or activities? Absolutely! While designed with triathletes in mind, BodyGlide, Tri Slide, and chamois creams are great for runners, cyclists, swimmers, and anyone engaging in activities that cause friction or irritation, such as hiking or long-distance walking.
6. Are these products suitable for sensitive skin? Most of our anti-chafe products are hypoallergenic and formulated to be gentle on sensitive skin. BodyGlide is free of petroleum and parabens, and many chamois creams, like Chamois Butt’r, offer skin-friendly options. Always check product labels and test a small amount if you have highly sensitive skin.
