Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have been using Bodyglide Anti-Chafe Balm every day for quite some time now due to the fact that I'm an amateur bodybuilder with large thighs that create quite a bit of friction. I'm also a road biker and use it whenever I go cycling. This week was my first experience with Gold Bond Friction Defense, which was 1/2 the price of Bodyglide (I buy Bodyglide on Amazon and Gold Bond at Walmart), and I'm here to report that I cannot tell a single difference between the two products. They both go on clear and provide excellent friction protection. I'm not certain yet, but it seems that the Gold Bond brand washes off a little better in the shower. In any case, I always apply the products after complete and thorough drying of all areas; I have found this help quite a bit. Due to the price difference and identical performance, I'll be buying Gold Bond from here on out. UPDATE: April, 2013 I just finished a 46 mile hiking trip through the Grand Canyon in three days. I took both the Body-Glide brand and the Gold Bond brand with me on the trip to test them equally on different days. Days were nearly identical insofar as temperature and difficulty of our hike, and I was not able to discern any difference between these two products. My suggestion is to go with whichever you can get for cheapest. Both work fantastically.
