Out of all the anti-chafe sticks we tried, we kept coming back to this one for a variety of reasons. First, it also deodorizes, which is a really handy feature if you’re using it in places that tend to get a little stinky like under your arms, around your groin, or in other areas where you have folds of skin (you know, like anywhere that chafes). The zinc neodecanoate in the formula not only helps to trap odor molecules, but also prevents more odor from forming, so the deodorizing effects last a really long time. Then there is the actual formula of the stick, which goes on completely clear with no residue at all. Unlike some other anti-chafe products, the finish isn’t powdery but instead forms a little layer on your skin that allows for more slip. It’s not greasy at all, but instead feels more like a silicone (it’s not).

Application is key with this one, as the one downside we’ve found is that the stick can be slightly hard, so it’s best if you warm it up a bit before applying (just hold it against your skin for a few seconds to let your body heat warm it). Once you do, it’s way easier to apply. We appreciate that it can be applied anywhere on the body and this stick version is great for smaller areas and please like your thighs or arm pits. Ultimately, we found ourselves using this chiefly as an anti-chafe stick because it’s just that good and a deodorant second.
