Review on Gold Bond Friction Defense Unscented Personal Care by Steven Kile

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great budget option for marathon lube

I was initially hesitant to try anything other than Body Glide for my running lube needs but I'm so glad I chose Gold Bond! The two leading products are fully interchangeable and I get the same benefits of Gold Bond but at a lower price. I've been running 5-6 days a week for the last year with no problems. I also recently ran the (1) Staten Island Half Marathon, where I ran 1:26, and (2) the New York City Marathon, where I ran 3:19 (not as good as I was hoping, but NY - tough Run!) As a male, I typically use it under my arms, across my chest, around my waist, and under my groin. The best advice I can give is to apply too much, especially before a longer or hotter run/race. If you're new to long-distance running, you'll inevitably find new areas of your body that could use a little lubrication after each long-distance run. Good luck at learning!

Pros
  • handy
Cons
  • so far so good
