Hello all,
I raced the St Croix coral reef swim a few weeks ago and used some body glide around where I though I might chafe. I didn't consider my actual armpits. WOOF, that hurt putting on deodorant after the race.
What products are using for chaffing control in the salt water? bodyglide seems okay but I have a few longer swims planned for next year (7 and 12 miles)
thx
St. Croix is such a gorgeous swim! Desitin is perfect if you need sun protection, too. But for a 5 mile swim, Vaseline will be as effective and easier to remove. I use Desitin for a swimover 4-5 hours, depending on the sun/location. Baby Oil or Ponds Cold Cream and a disposable towel are hugely helpful for after the swim.
