Bodyglide

It always amazes me that so many of the members here claim they wear a kilt over pants for comfort reasons yet there are always plenty of people chiming in about their troubles with chafing.

While I haven't had much problem with chafing I do take precautions agains it. For light activity when I think I will be ward (so therefore sweat) I find good old solid antiperspirant works just fine. If I am gong to do something athletic I do what athletes do - wear something underneath the kilt. Any lube of antiperspirant is only so good and if you are 5 miles from base on a hike and it starts to hurt down there...well you know what I mean.

By the way it is all very nice to say that they didn't worry about a little chafing back in WWI but I guarantee none of them would be described as even slightly overweight.

You're implying that undergarments cause chafing. Not always true.

Actually I am saying that they choose kilts RATHER THAN pants for comfort reasons and then complain about chafing.

You act as if the ideas are mtually exclusive, but can't kilts allow greater comfort and freedom whilst still having a drawback?

I think they are. I think what it says is that going kilted (or at least regimental while kitled) is not always the best option if you claim you dress for comfort.

And I disagree, going without underwear provides obvious levels of freedom, if through bodyglide I can take away a drawback of it, then there is no contradiction in my thinking. And frankly, why you felt the need to even bring it up is totally beyond me.

Your welcome to disagree, that's what makes discussion. The reason I brought it up is because I find the contradiction interesting. Maybe I should ask why it bothers you that I brought it up?

I LOVE BODYGLIDE!!

Sure beats all the corn starch powder I used to use before kilts. It gets HOT in Arizona folks.

You wonderful folks on this board told me about BodyGlide. I usually pick up a bunch of 1.4oz sticks when I'm up in Flagstaff at Babbitt's Sporting Goods. A mere 135 miles from me.

When I walk into the store now and the staff sees the kilt they all shout, "BodyGlide!"

I use it every day, even though I wear boxers for work, it still feels great and seems to reduce "tugging" between boxers and body parts.

They also make a small .45oz stick that's small enough to toss in your sporran for touch ups if needed.

If your regimental attire includes a fire helmet BodyGlide will protect you from apron chafe too.

Only negative I have about BodyGlide is that in the heat (100F+) sometimes it sort of falls apart in chunks that don't reattach. This summer I plan to keep a stick in the refrigerator to use first thing in the morning.

Stock up. You don't wanna run out of it.
