Tri Slide for Chaffing, Blisters, and Irritation from Running

To the tune of the Soul Glow commercial from the movie “Coming to America:”

“Girl, you can be all the things you’ve, always wanted; beautiful, sexy, lubricated, as easy as 1-2-3.  Just let your Tri Slide.  Just let it slide on through.  Just let your Triiiiiiiiiiii Slide baby, feel oh so silky smooth, just let it slide on through.  Just let your Triiiiii Slide yeah!”

Don’t you want to feel silky smooth and be all the things you want to be.  Of course, so try Tri Slide.  Personally, I don’t do Triathlons but I do need to slide sometimes, that’s why I decided to check out Tri Slide.  The reason Tri Slide is great for triathlon participants is because it is great for the transition from water to land, like a hovercraft.  You don’t lose precious moments in the transition out of the wetsuit.  It slides off easy!  I’ve done a good bit of surfing in wetsuits so I know how difficult it is to take them off, usually having to turn them inside out and contour your body in unattractive positions.  With Tri Slide you don’t have be unattractive.  Also, remember, don’t throw your wetsuit in the back of your car and then straight to your closet all folded up.  Hang it up and let it dry.  Like a native Northern Californian surfer once told me about wetsuits, “They remember things.”  The great thing about Tri Slide is that you can put it on before the race starts because it stays on in the water in the water!  I know what you are thinking, if it doesn’t come off in water then how do I wash it off?  Simple, soap and water.  You should try that combination sometime, it may change your life.

Like I said, I don’t have to get out of wetsuits quickly, but I do chaff and get blisters from running long distances.  If you are going for a long run I suggest applying some Tri Slide to your body.  No, don’t spray it all over your body, that’s just weird.  Apply it to the spots that get a lot of rubbing.  If you need to know where to apply it, go for a long run in your normal shoes, shorts , and shirt and see where your hotspots are after your run, then apply it to those areas before your next long run.  Apply lubricant to hotspots.  See, isn’t that easy to remember?  It’s just that simple.  The environmentally friendly aerosol spray of  Tri Slide also makes it easy to target these areas too.  Target your hotspots and let your Triiiiii Slide; sliiiiiiiide on through!

    Glad you liked it Karen! Thank you, for taking the time to dedicate your life to the advancement of lubricants. That can’t be too exciting of an endeavor. However, when done properly, I guess working with lubricants could get exciting. At any rate, I love the product because it reduces my chaffing. Got any products for tight neckties?
