Gold Bond Friction Defense Giveaway

September 30, 2012 | 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:

1.) Tell me in the comments below what activity you would use/need the product for

2.) Tweet the following: “I want to win #GoldBondFrictionDefense from @runningwithsass http://runningwithsass.com/gold-bond-friction-defense-giveaway” and tell me that you did so

It’s that easy! Please leave a separate comment for each entry, and remember I can see if you actually tweeted or not. Good luck, and you can enter until Friday, October 5th, and I will announce a winner on my blog on Saturday, October 6th. Good luck!

    I could have used this yesterday during my last half marathon. It’s the worst when you get in the shower. Obviously, it’d 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

    October 1, 2012 at 7:43 am

    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.

  17. Misty says

    October 1, 2012 at 7:51 am

    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! : )

  21. Kt says

    October 1, 2012 at 11:40 am

    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 🙂

    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!

Since turning forty, I’ve been all about simple changes that help me feel strong, healthy, and confident — inside and out. 

Adding Organixx Collagen to my coffee each morning has been one of the easiest ways to support my skin, hair, and joints while juggling busy mom life. It blends right in and makes me feel like I’m doing something good for myself every single day. 

Because for me, it’s not just about looking good — it’s about feeling my best, staying active, and showing up for the people and moments that matter most. 
Radiance starts from within, and @organixxco helps make it part of my everyday routine.

I turned 40 today. 🎉 Hitting a milestone like t I turned 40 today. 🎉 Hitting a milestone like this has me reflecting—not just on what I’ve accomplished, but on who I’m becoming.

I’ve always been driven to achieve, to push, to prove. But lately, I’ve been learning to celebrate presence over performance, connection over perfection.

Today wasn’t about checking a box or hitting a goal—it was about pausing, feeling grateful, and eating a ridiculous amount of cake with people I love. And honestly? That feels like growth.

Here’s to 40: more aligned, more grounded, and still a little extra. 😉

#thisis40 #40andfabulous #thankyoujesusfor40years #birthdaygirl❤️ #40andoverclub
Turning 40 tomorrow. 🎂 Big milestones always Turning 40 tomorrow. 🎂 

Big milestones always make me pause and ask:
What am I proud of?
What needs to shift?
Am I becoming the woman I want to be?

💡 As an Enneagram 3, I’ve always been wired to achieve — and for a long time, that meant shaping myself into whatever version I thought people would like best.

There are tables where it’s clear I’m not welcome — and that used to wreck me.
But at 40? I don’t do cliques. I don’t do shrinking or contorting to be accepted. 👀

I’ll always be kind. I’ll always be respectful. But I’m done dragging a chair to tables that were never built for me.

I’m moving over. Making space.
Creating my own table.
