Suit Juice/body glide?.

Currently I have FIVE bandaids on my feet. Yes - it's that getting used to sandals and not wearing stockings time of the year here in Australia

A couple of weeks ago I bought some bodyglide to use to (as recommended by Angie) I used it once and now I can't find it. It costs around $17 here so I'm not that keen on buying it again, since it might turn up, and can't anyway get to the shop that sells it for a while.

But I do have something I thought about using instead. Called Suit Juice, it's a lubricant to help put on my full body triathlon suit that I used when I did long distance swimming.

Do you think this would be an acceptable substitute?

anne, I'm not familiar with Suit Juice, but I've used body glide for open water swimming, to prevent chafing at the neck of my wetsuit. So I'm guessing it might be a good substitute (i.e., they might be interchangeable).

Another thing you can use is antiperspirant...

Thanks Sharan (BTW I dreamt that I was a guest at your house last night!! And that you lived in a kind of camp site!)
Rachylou - are you serious ?

Quite likely. The product I use is marketed specifically for runners to prevent chaffed thighs and upper arm (inexpensive, made by Gold Bond, readily available in the Western US).

I'd give it a try, Anne. I couldn't find Bodyglide when Angie recommended it, so bought Boots own brand instead. It worked a treat.

Ow! Your poor feet. Let us know if you find something else that works.

Grrrmbl blisters, go away!
In a pinch I've also used Vaseline, Anne. More greasy than Bodyglide of course, but it did help.
I think the "sports" product will work too.

Yes! That's an old hikers trick.

Anne where did you get body glide in Aust? Going back to work this week and will have to get back into my work shoes after being in birkis for a while...

Ha haha! Pretty funny. I was going to attach a photo or our house here, but I discovered I don't have one!

Hi Anne! if your Suit Juice has the same consistency as Bodyglide, it might have some of the same ingredients. I've made a mental note to try lip balm next time I find myself with sandals that rub. A cocoa butter stick or beeswax product might also work. I hope you get relief for you poor tootsies fast!

Hi Anne! I suspect that your product is also silicone based. I would guess it would work fairly well. And if it saves $17 bucks, that leaves money for a nice lunch, or maybe a pair of earrings?

(See how my mind works?)
