Bodyglide

Bodyglide is an American manufacturer that has been producing creams, balms and gels to prevent blisters and chafing for more than 25 years. And it is something that has been incredibly well received by triathletes and open water swimmers here in Denmark over the past few years - not least because it lasts a long time, has the best function and even does not damage and degrade the wetsuit.

Why use Bodyglide?

The reason why triathletes and open water swimmers should use Bodyglide is due to a simple problem you're probably already experiencing with your wetsuit.

Many people find that their wetsuit cuts into their neck, hamstrings, elbows, wrists and ankles when swimming, chafes the skin or just irritates. This is because the wetsuit needs to fit snugly all over the body to prevent water from running into the suit, but it also means that you experience the issues mentioned above, with the suit.

This is where Bodyglide comes to the rescue.

By running the Bodyglide across the neck, hamstrings, elbows, wrists and ankles, there will be an invisible, but not insignificant, layer of lubrication between the wetsuit and the skin at the critical points where the wetsuit "ends", thus avoiding irritation during open water swimming.

Why Bodyglide is so much better than vaseline

Today, many triathletes and open water swimmers use vaseline to lubricate their bodies in various critical areas, but unfortunately, this is a very bad thing. Because Vaseline breaks down your wetsuit over time, just as vaseline rinses off with the water as soon as you get in. So it's a REALLY bad idea to use Vaseline, even though many people do it today.

But fortunately, more and more people are becoming aware of Bodyglide, which has become very popular in the last few years. The reason why BodyGlide has quickly become hugely popular among triathletes and open water swimmers is the products' unique formula, which means that BodyGlide's creams and gels do not grease, discolour and even last for a very long time (+14 hours). Something vaseline can't compete with, even though many "experts" say so.

Bodyglide is designed for triathletes and open water swimmers

In the sports for which Bodyglide started developing chafing prevention products, endurance, duration and performance were the most important elements, which is why a product for these sports also had to be durable. That's why a good application of BodyGlide today can last for an entire ironman distance, for example - even if you're riding +12 hours. This makes the products essential for both daily swim training in the open sea and for the competition itself.

At the same time, Bodyglide's products are designed to NOT damage or degrade your equipment. After all, no one wants to buy a new wetsuit because of a bad product to prevent chafing. That's why, unlike e.g. regular vaseline, BodyGlide contains none of the ingredients that are particularly hard on, for example, the rubber and neoprene of your wetsuit.

Everything is thoroughly tested

The reason why BodyGlide can promise all these things is because their products have undergone an incredible amount of testing over the last 25 years. This means that you will only find materials developed naturally from plants and blends of natural waxes, and no cheap minerals, oils or anything similar.

So you can be absolutely sure that with BodyGlide you get a quality product that just lasts, does not harm you or your wetsuit and can be used for both training and competition.

And that's exactly why Bodyglide has become SO popular among many people around the world.

Bodyglide is also available in other variants

In addition to a Bodyglide for use in water, which is intended for open water swimmers and triathletes, they also come in a women's version for use around the sports bra and a variant with sunscreen built in.
