Gold Bond Friction Defense Giveaway

| fitness, Giveaway, health, running

 

I was contacted by the awesome people at Gold Bond and was told about a new friction defense/anti chafe product. I have terrible chafing problems, so I decided to try it out and see if it would help. I was sent the product as well as some socks (which are super comfy!)

I decided to first try it out on a ten mile long run, as I figured that would be the ultimate test. I put it on the areas I usually chafe (in between my legs, on my sports bra line, and under my arms where they rub my tank tops) and Bobby used it as well.

I am happy to report, along with Bobby, that there was zero rubbing or chafing, and no notice that I was even using it on my body, and no scent (some brands can be sticky, greasy, you can “feel” the product, are scented, etc.) Also, it can be used daily, and acts as a moisturizer for your skin. it is also a great skin soother unlike many other anti chafe products on the market. I have had problems with other products wearing off after a few miles and needing reapplication, but not with this. I have so far used it on runs between three and twelve miles with no need for reapplying.

You know when you didn’t even realize you had chafed, and there is that terrible moment in the shower where the water hits you and you are on fire and realize you DID indeed chafe? (Oh I KNOW you know what I am talking about!) I am glad to say I have not had to deal with that at all since using Gold Bond Friction Defense! Whew!

gross and sweaty, but not chafing!

Another great thing about this product is the price point. It is less expensive than many of the same types of products on the market. You can find Gold Bond friction defense in the first aid aisle of major retailers such as Target, Wal-Mart, Walgreens, and CVS.

The great folks at Gold Bond have offered to do a giveaway for RWS, and one reader will receive the friction defense product, as well as a pair of socks and a t-shirt! Here’s how to enter:

    I’d use it for running!

    And that moment in the shower when you scream from unknown chafing…yeah I know what that’s about and it’s NO fun!

  10. Courtney says

    I’d use it for running and share it with my husband for his gym adventures (especially on the elliptical trainer)!

  11. Presley @ Run Pretty says

    I would use it for running. 🙂

    I hate that “oh sh*t” moment in the shower haha I’ve been known to let the foul words fly.

  16. Lesley says

    Yes, I know that feeling in the shower all too well. I don’t even let words fly, just yelling is involved. My brain can’t process anything through the stinging feeling, and all I can get out is a yell.

    Training for my first half marathon (Proncess Half -Disney Feb 2013) I’m SURE -this would be a great product to stay loyal too! Just tweeted! : )

  20. Cathimommy says

    I would use this product on my long runs and during half marathons or perhaps a 2013 marathon….!
    Heather==you, Bobby and Running Skirts rock!

  21. Kt says

    This looks like it would be an awesome product for running! You know you have determination when after running 2 miles you can feel the chafe coming on and instead of turning around and calling it quits you push through to get to your goal! This unfortunately just happened to me…even though it was painful I felt great after my 10 miles 🙂

  24. Kristen @ Be Fit with Kristen says

    I would use it for running. I always get it at my sports bra line especially if I run any kind of distance. And sometimes at the armpits which is even more painful. And I too hate that oh *hit moment when I get in the shower. That freakin’ hurts!

  26. Kassie says

    I could definitely use this for my heart rate monitor’s chest strap! I just started upping my distance and I’ve had really bad chafing in this Louisiana heat where the strap sits!

  28. Steph says

    I would use this for my long runs!! 🙂 My husband would use it on his runs and bike rides too!!

  30. Libby Syzdek says

    I would be using it for my running! I am training for the hartford 1/2 and for the princess 1/2!

  32. amanda mae says

    i definitely need this for running! once the new england cold comes it’ll be lots of uncomfortable treadmill long runs…

  36. Vickie Alford says

    I am just beginning my running journey, so I am always looking for products that I am going to need in the future. I have my first 5k in two weeks. 🙂

  37. Paul Laviska says

    Since I started running, I have always needed to use anti-chafe products. As I prepare for another Marathon in the Outer Banks, it is crucial!

  39. Renee J. Ross says

    I’d use it for running of course! My marathon is coming up at the end of the month and this would come in handy!

  47. Danielle Moore says

    I would use the products for running. We have such crazy weather here and it takes a toll on my feet.

  49. Heather says

    I would love this for running! The stuff I’m using is ok, but I would love to find something better! 🙂

  51. Emily says

    I would use this for running – I’ve tried a few different types of chafing cream, but haven’t found one that I really like.
