TriSlide Review

July 1, 2010 | Filed in: Uncategorized

Funny how I’m posting a review of an anti-chafing product today when yesterday I complained about chafing. Anyways, I was asked to review the product TriSlide a while back, and I was skeptical. I feel like I start off every review that way. I guess I am just not a big believer in trying new things. So the idea behind TriSlide is that it’s basically a form of anti-chafing solution . Now, I’m not big on anti-chafing stuff because I think it’s weird and I don’t like the stick like form. So usually my motto is just burn baby burn in the chafing department. Stupid, but it is what it is. It just doesn’t seem to help me out that much and I always forgot the stick and I feel like I’m just rubbing deodorant all over my body. TriSlide is an aerosol spray. I love me some aerosol and I was excited to try it out after I found that out. It reminds me a little of something that you would use for athletes foot.

I really liked the bottle and it was super easy to use. I felt like the nozzle sprayer allows really good coverage and it makes everything really slippery, which is the point of a chafing product! I used it on my feet to take care of any hot spots and to make sure no toes were bloody. It worked awesomely. I just sprayed the toe areas and side of my big toe where I usually get blisters.

The left foot was sprayed first. When I first started using the product I used a little too much, but that is better than using too little. It never bothered me at all and I really liked the way it felt on my feet in my socks. It gets all the ‘nooks and crannys’ a lot better than anything else I’ve ever used.

You just have to find out how to spray it the best way for you and then just spray it on it’s pretty self explanatory. I love, love, love using it on my feet! I also love the fact that it’s in the bottle and spray form. It makes it super easy and way less messy for me at least.

I just spray it right on and then put on my socks. I usually spray it on outside on our porch though. It really comes out quick too, so I know the bottle I have will last me a long time.

Here is the close-up of the front of the bottle. Yup, love the aerosol aspect of it the best! So easy to use and covers so much more than a stick, in my opinion, especially on my feet, which is where I seem to have the most problems. According to the website, it’s in a environmentally friendly 4 oz. canister. I LOVE IT. Seriously. Check it out and you won’t be disappointed. I’m also a big fan of putting this on my inner legs when I decide to wear the booty shorts just for precautionary measures. :)

You can find out more about Tri-Slide HERE and get your own on that website as well. I am very thankful for the TriSlide people reaching out to me to test their product because now I’m chafe free and my toes are finally not bloody!

I’m also thankful for them for giving me 2 bottles to give away! To enter, just leave a comment with your biggest pet peeve while running. Do you hate all the bikers on the trails? Do you get chafed in a certain spot every time? Do you hate the way Gatorade tastes 8 miles in? What chafes you while running? :) Your stories always crack me up. If you tweet about the giveaway you’ll get another entry and if you blog about my giveaway you’ll get another one. :) If you are bored and want to follow me on twitter you can here :) That’s a total of 3 entries! I’ll pick the winner next Thursday by random number picker. Good Luck!

My pet peeve while running is always needing water. Seriously, I wish we could run without it. Crazy, I know. But I hate carrying a water bottle, the belt thing just doesn’t work for me, and I feel like a moron if I stash water here and there along the route. :) Yes, I’m a dork and complaining about water.

Tim’s Pet Peeve : Runners, Walkers, Cyclists who ignore my friendly, raised-eyebrow “hi” ‘s.

No excuse for that.

My biggest pet peeve, literally, is the people that don’t pick their dog’s poop. The problem seems to be worse during the winter snowstorms. It is my theory that people think dog poop melts with the snow. Well, it doesn’t melt and the trails end up being one crappy mine field.

My biggest running pet peeve is actually probably the stupid blisters I get on my big toes! Or any other pain that keeps running from feeling good!

I hate that everytime I run over 6 miles-I begin to have an aching pain in my 2nd toe on my right foot and the toenail eventually falls off. I’ve lost the same toe nail over 5 times. I’m surprised it’s still growing.

My biggest pet peeve while running would have to be that post 1 hour gurgle I get – you know what I’m talking about….is it gas? do i have to go numero dos? It’s usually gas thanks to taking in too much air whilst I hydrate, so then I have to try to discreetly toot – no fun!

biggest pet peeve: having to go number 1 or 2 in the middle of the run, and venture off course to find some sort of bathroom.

What a great idea! My biggest pet peeve while running it that my shorts ride up in the middle. This seems like it would help! Thanks!

I have a million running pet peeves but my big ones are these:

1) Millions of gnats stuck to your sweaty body after a run.

2) Chafing around the waist from certain fuel belts.

3) Having to hold a hand-held water bottle.

4) When the Garmin takes 10 years to find a signal.

5) And I’m with everyone else on the having to find/go to the restroom in the middle of a run.

My pet peeve? When bikers or walkers or humans in general won’t say hi when I nod or wave or say hello. Really? You are that cool? I am not that menacing!

My pet peeve is having to wear anything up on my waist. I hate fuel belts but when I have to wear them, they better stay LOW down on my hips!!

Pet peeve…not being able to wear shorts if running more than 2 miles. Chaffing sucks! :)

People who walk or slowly jog a 2-way path like they walk in the mall. Just strolling taking up 10 feet between them, clueless that cyclists are coming toward them while they can hear you running behind them and needing to pass. In fact, it seems beyond them that people will likely be passing them the entire time in both directions and there will be log jams. On a funny note, this one girl was riding a beach cruiser, yelped when a cyclist passed her, then yelped 2 more times when the rest of his group passed her. Really? Have you not seen all the runners and cyclists over the past 5 minutes? hilarious.

ooh I am a “big thighed” runner and would love to try this product out for the sketchy areas!! I am always wearing those really unattractive compression shorts becasue a lot of the glides feel weird on your legs when I do try to rock out a set of tempo shorts. Thanks for the shot at some glide that may be the answer :)

My biggest pet peeve is that I want to wear running shorts during the summer, but they always ride up. And then…forrest fire time! Chafe City! Whatever you want to call it. I hate it! haha I would love to try this stuff. Sounds awesome!

Off to tweet, tweet about it! =)

My biggest pet peeve while running is having to pass someone on the trail who is smoking! I am outside trying to get fresh air and be healthy, I don’t want your nasty cig smoke in my lungs!! I also hate when bikers yell at me to move off the path, even though Kelly Drive is for everyone to use, not just them.

My biggest pet peeve when running is constantly dodging cars in the city. Being a runner has made me a very more aware driver! I can’t even count how many times I’ve almost been hit by vehicles. Seriously, people, watch for pedestrians!

I love trislide! Seriously it’s so awesome and I can’t wait to try it on my feet!

My biggest pet peeve is having to s#$T or barf during a race! hahaha

my pet peeve is bugs! oh how I hate bugs!

and this is my tweet:

“check out chicrunner.com for an awesome slippery giveaway!”

I can’t stand it during a race when people in front of you come to a complete stop to rest/walk/whatever. Please be courteous people and slow down gradually and veer to the side.

biggest pet peeve is the Garmin beeping like a time bomb.

my biggest pet peeve: joggers/walkers/cyclists/whoever who completely look the other way when they pass me like they’re pretending they don’t see me! what the heck, people!

all my pet peeves are attire related:
-my shirt rides up without a fuel belt
-my fuel belt causes the back of my running skirt to ride up if the water bottles are 100% full
-wedgies. camel toes. ’nuff said.

off to blog about it!

[...] so the product will go to very good use. twice the fun. check out the ever helpful and hilarious chicrunner for a full review. she says prior to this product her chafing motto was “burn, baby, [...]

my current biggest pet peeve is my chaffing thighs. pregnancy was not friendly to my thighs and now they rub together while trying to get back into shape. not fun! :)

Biggest Pet Peeve: When people honk or catcall as they drive by–gross & RUDE!!

My biggest peeve about running is when my hair does not cooperate. It is long and thick and sometimes I just cannot get it to stay in place while I run. Biggets annoyance and makes me want to stop!

OMG! I love all anti-chaffe stuff so if this stuff is as good as you say it is – I’m sold! But a free can would be nice, too :)
Biggest pet peeve: the walkers in a race who walk 3-4 deep and take over the whole lane! Seriously? So glad you decided to get your ass off the couch, but there are people RUNNING here! Move the hell over! That really chaps my hide!
Thanks for the giveaway – I’m off to tweet!

This looks like a cool product; thanks for the opportunity. My pet peeve is chafing on/under/around my chest from my bra; usually not a problem until I hit double-digit mileage then – kapow.

My biggest peeve is wearing clothes that ride up. Sometimes I will even re-visit pieces thinking they have magically changed somehow after a few months only to find myself pulling and tugging at them, and feeling stupidly self conscious!

My biggest pet peeve is heavy footed runners or people who run with those beeping heart rate monitors that constantly go off. I like to zone out and these things prevent me from being able to do so!!

Ahhh chafing – thanks for recommending another product to try. No matter what I try, it always happens. I don’t mind bikers on the trails…just the mean ones. My biggest pet peeves are little kids on bikes on the trails who try to race me, or block me, and the parents who don’t watch them.

My biggest pet peeve are bikers. They’re like the one-eyebrowed baby on the Simpsons — my arch-enemy. Never calling, “On your left!” and bitching at *me* for not being aware to get out of their way when they come up behind me. They chafe me so!

My biggest pet peeve when running–actually on in races–is that I have to pee some time between miles 1 and 3. Almost every damn time. I once made it to mile 6 in a HM, but no farther. Damn “race bladder” costs me 30 seconds per race….

I think I need to try this product. Biggest pet peeve is clothes not cooperating: shirt riding up, chaffing, sports bra not holding up etc.

I get blisters on the outside of my big toes when I run…ouch. My biggest pet peeve is when bikes practically run me over on a trail (as they yell “on your left” at the last minute!).

OMG. I HATE when my clothes ride up while running, or a little piece of hair gets in my eye – but honestly, the chafing and the blisters are what bug me THE MOST.

My biggest pet peeve is when I run in the early morning and see foxes in my neighborhood. They always freak me out and make me sprint home in fear. How dare they get in my running path!

I recently had a very strange chafe on the crack of my butt?? after I thought about it I realized that I had worn a pad in my running shorts because of a very heavy time of the month. NOT a good idea! By the way I love your blog, thanks for posting.

Opps, forgot pet peeve, bears or nippy little doxies bothering me on my run.

What’s worse than adult bike riders? Kids on bikes or scooters ~ HELLO ~ and they have the audacity to cut me off then slam on their brakes waiting for their parents.

Very cool product! My biggest pet peeve is drivers who do not pay attention, they turn right or back out without looking. I run early in the morning and really have to keep an eye out for inattentive drivers.

My pet peeve is people who see runners as crazy people. They will relentlessly comment on how runners are psycho people who enjoy pain. Sure its true, but why state the obvious? ;)

My pet peeve is one shared by many here…people not saying hello!! My Dad and I tested runners in Central Park when we were there visiting in April…fewer than half of the other runners returned a hello. Don’t they realize it makes you feel good to say hi? :-)

My biggest pet peeve while running is the cars that pull out into the cross walk without first looking to see that I am about to cross. It really messes with my mental focus when I nearly get run over by a car.

My biggest pet peeve is dogs without leashes or gates to keep them away from the things they love to bite/bart at — ie, me!

P.S. I think that an aerosol would disappear waaay faster for me than a gel or paste. Not sure why… maybe I’m just trigger happy.

My two biggest pet peeves running is chafing for sure and at the end of a long run I cant stand having music play in my ears anymore. I get so frustrated lol.

I chafe on my legs and under my bra….awful!

My biggest pet peeve is the effing WIND. Give me heat, rain, whatever else, but if it’s windy, I’m going home.

Ugh… chafing, actually. Nothing worse. Usually inside legs and strangely, on the inside-underside of left boob. Whoops, TMI. Also, when the bodyglide breaks so now every time I use it it falls apart a little more – but I’m a cheap bastard so I just pick it up and stick it back in the tube…

Ooh – or people who walk 2, 3, and 4 abreast on the path – and still expect you to jump off to make way for them. I’ve just taken to holding my ground and bumping them. Usually I’ll get a nasty look, but one time I got a “hey b*tch!” that was good motivation to increase speed!

Man, what a lot of comments! I have to admit, the spray sound like it would work quite well around the toes…kinda hard to get the stick to cover the toes!

I have to say sweat in my eyes chafes me the most. It’s so freaking hot and humid here that even with a sweatband and a hat, I still get the drips in my eyes…buuurn, ouch!

I hate running in humidity. Just sucks the big one.

and I tweeted about your giveaway :) (@jerilee40)

my biggest pet peeve is that while everybody else loves running a nice wooded trail, all i can think about are the potential creepsters hidden behind the trees! at least it makes me run faster…

It bugs me when my ear phones fall out of my ears on really humid days.

Your reviews are the bomb! Yeah, I said it. Heehee =)

My biggest pet peeve is when you’re running in a groove and come up upon a family of 4 or 5 who take up the entire sidewalk when walking which forces you to move out of their way and breaks your running momentum. I hate that!

my biggest pet peeve is thigh chafing…I seem to often just run out the door forgetting to do anything to prevent it…maybe this would help!!

Hmmm… there aren’t many things that get me down while I’m running aside from the occasional fatigue, but one thing that never fails to piss me off are drivers that don’t stop for people in crosswalks! I’ve had a few altercations with idiot drivers, but hey, it gets my blood pumping and makes for faster miles!

The worst for me is the inner thigh rub – ugggghhhh!!!

While I love living in the country-ish area and the scenery is beautiful, I am starting to get bored of the 3 routes that are safe before heading into town. So I guess that’s my biggest complaint right now. I guess I’ll have to suck it up and start driving into town and then going on some of the paths out there!

When biggest complaint about summer running is how hard it is to get my sports bra off afterward. Seriously it’s soaked through and it just clings to me like crazy. I have to pretty much pry it off. Nasty.

It bothers me sooo much when I’m running and I’m about to come up to a group of people coming at me taking up the entire path… they see me running… they see me sweating and about to die… do they THINK to maybe move over to their side for a second? NO! I like to play chicken with them. Who’s going to move first? Me or you…I bet it’s you when you see I’m not about to deviate from my path… I think that is what angers me the most when running.

INTERESTING…. I just may have to try something like this. I’m always just a LITTLE suspect of things that aren’t body glide (so we share that I guess) but it is probably worth a shot.

LET IT BURN!? You, my friend, are a crazy person.

My biggest “chafe” on runs is people who leave dog poop in the way!Yuck! I do NOT want to dodge poo!

Two things –

1. Nipple chafing, ‘nuf said
2. When people don’t follow the “run left, walk right” rule and walk like 6 people wide across the course. Or if they don’t move right to slow down or stop. GRRRRRRRRRRR.

I hate how my HR monitor strap chafes under my boobs! I also hate pathways that end suddenly!!

my pet peeve has to be the bikers. they tend to be such jerks!!

My biggest pet peeve & it happens all the time: having to make an emergency stop in the woods on those early morning runs.

I have a few:
*When you are approaching two people running on a trail or narrow greenway, and they don’t even attempt to move over or get semi-single file. I mean, why am I always the one being nice and moving over?!
*Another one, is the nervous pee feeling I get before a race…especially when I just went!!
*When I accidentally turn my garmin off at a light and forget to turn it back on!!

Its been fun to read these!

Hey!

Give a girl a heads up….after the hole I put under my arm I seriously must find this stuff.

Funny thing is that I just posted a comment on Josh Cox’s blog post about race tips that someone needed to create a spray version of body glide (should of checked the web before saying such silliness).

Must go check it out!

My biggest pet peeve is people that do not control their dogs while on the trail. If I’m running towards you…and you see me coming and your dog starts to run AT me…don’t look at me like I’m inconsiderate when I say something the THIRD time it happens. Oh those people make me so angry!

When you’re running with someone with keys. The constant jingling drives me nuts. :P

My biggest pet peeve while running is drivers who almost hit you and then yell at you for being out there running!

Man they are some fugly feet you need to enter my competition stat!

J/K about the feet!

Okay. I’ll enter this giveaway! y pet peeve when running are the cyclists who ride two or three across a trail and expect runners/walkers to move for them!

Silent bikers that whiz right by you at 30mph. They stay so close to you like you are on their path.

Chafing – for some reason lately it has been my left nipple. Don’t even realize it until the cold shower after a run. What a burn.

I would love to win some of this stuff. I get chafed at my bra line (right in the front) when I run in hot hot weather, very annoying.

I follow you on twitter (i’m @manicdefense)

My biggest running pet peeve (other than chafing) is figuring out where to put your keys. I prefer not to run with things in my hands, and my spibelt is a little bouncy lately… annoying.

Stray/unleashed dogs are my pet peeve while running! I almost always run with my dog and about every 3rd run we are approached (or attacked) by a dog that has gotten out of a fence, or off a leash, or whatever. It’s aggravating!

I guess my pet peeve would be having my earbuds falling out of my ears…usually happens a few miles in during a really sweaty run..then the whole run I am just annoyed b/c I can’t keep the stupid things in.

My biggest pet peeve while running? Having to carry water that gets too hot too quick :(

Cyclists who don’t let you know they are behind you…I mean, how much effort does it take to say something? I always yell “Share the road!”…Oh, and people who wear “wind pants” to run in…you can hear their legs swishing together a mile away!

I loathe hills. A lot. But, I live in Pittsburgh…where we name our suburbs by hills (North Hills, South Hills, etc). I’m in trouble.

[...] you haven’t entered my TriSlide giveaway, do so before [...]

Bra line chafing, that’s my peeve. Great give away!

My biggest pet peeve is that people don’t smile when the run. Especially when running along the beach on a beautiful sunny day, SMILE!!! You are definitely not running that hard or fast that you can’t enjoy being able to run.

I already follow you on twitter

Biggest pet peeve are people running on the wrong side of the road then when you get close to hitting them they refuse to budge and you end up having to move over!

My biggest pet peeve while running is when guys drive by and holler at me! Ugh guys, not a way to get a girl!! Please stop the honking while your at it! Haha

Smells! I hate smelling stuff when I run!!! It feels like I can’t breath or am not getting any air!!!
