Monistat Chafing Relief Powder Gel, Long-Lasting Protection, 1.5 Oz

I did not expect to like this stuff as much as I did. I purchased it for the rather funny reason of not liking how moisturizer made my legs feel touching each other in bed, like they would stick to each other and not feel smooth, but being pregnant in the winter made moisturizer not optional, so I thought "Well, I'll see if an anti-chaffing thing might help" even though chafing was not exactly the issue. Well, it did, and I liked how it made my skin feel so much that I tried it as a makeup primer (excellent) and as pregnancy progressed, well, it does work nicely for anti-chaffing too. It's not for this, but I even ended up using it over some road rash one of my kids had, because they needed a little skin protection (dimethicone) but did NOT want a band-aid (healed up great). Basically, you can use this stuff anywhere, and it will help skin feel finished and like it can glide vs stick. A little goes a very long way as well, so you do get good value for your money even though the tube is small, you do not need a lot. I use about 4 peas worth on my legs, and that does the trick. 1/2 a pea is enough to use as a primer. Some people have mentioned that the tube contents separate, and its occasionally more liquid. I have experienced this, but it does not change the effectiveness, and to prevent it just keep the tube stored upright in the box. Problem solved. It really is a very useful and versatile product, and I'm so glad I bought it that I'm coming back for a second tube, not wanting to run out!

I read somewhere on a subreddit or blog that people use this chafing gel as a makeup primer and had to try it. That was about three years ago. I haven't used another primer since then because this works better than just about any other real primer I've ever tried before, and for a fraction of the cost. First the elephant in the room: the idea that you're using a Monistat product on your face. I admit I don't love the thought of the TSA pulling my tube of chafing gel out of my carry-on for public inspection, or the possibility of it falling out of my gym bag while I'm digging around for a hair tie. But I love this stuff enough to endure any manner of mild embarrassment on its behalf, and there is an observable improvement in the look and feel of my skin when I use it under my makeup. The texture is like ointment-y gel coming out of the tube, but when you spread it on your face, it has this outstanding velvety feel that smooths out your skin while still feeling totally breathable and not like you have a thick layer of something on your face. It dries very quickly as well, so there's no waiting 15 minutes to apply your foundation. A little goes a long way with this, and a 1.5 oz. tube lasts probably three or four months for me.

I stumbled on this product looking for something else. What a blessing that was. This powder gel is AMAZING!!!! It’s like applying a protective layer that feels like air! Not greasy, incredibly effective & not too thick. If I could buy it in gallon jugs I would. I’m a fuller fluffy girl who lives in FL. The heat and humidity are brutal in the summer. This gel has relieved any discomfort, rashes and pain I was having under my breasts and in my groin area. I had been using prescription steroid creams and this blows them out of the water. I am fan for life for this gel!!!!

I’m really impressed with this product! The gel goes on smoothly and dries to a soft, powder-like finish that helps reduce friction and keeps skin feeling comfortable throughout the day. It’s lightweight, not greasy, and works great in areas prone to chafing. I especially like how it helps keep skin feeling smooth and protected, whether during workouts, hot weather, or everyday activities. A small amount goes a long way, and it’s easy to apply. Overall, I’m very happy with this purchase and would definitely recommend it. If MONISTAT is ever looking for people to review or collaborate on products, I’d love to be considered — I’d be happy to share more about items like this!

I have been a size 16-18 for most of my adult life. And I have ALWAYS had to wear bike shorts or something under my dresses or I just cannot walk. It burns and itches and OH its awful the chaffing on my legs. I decided to give this a try because I read about it on a plus-size fashion blog I read called GarnerStyle. It would be so much nicer to not have to wear so many layers of clothes jsut to be comfortable (especially since that just isn't very comfortable...) and I'd really like to not have to wear shorts under my wedding dress in June. I mean that's not very cute... I put some on today between my legs where they touch when I walk, on both legs, and headed out in a maxi dress, just standard undies no shorts (although I brought some just in case). I just walked a block away to the Vietnamese sandwich place and back, got a bit of a sweat going since I had a cardigan on and its actually warm and sunny here in Seattle for once. And my legs aren't chaffed at all! The ONLY reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is I feel like if I were going to be walking fast (like I did up the street just now) all day long shopping or something, i'd probably want to reapply at some point. But honestly I think that's worth it to not have to wear shorts. I sit at a desk most of the day so one stroll up the street might not compare to other things... But I am confident that with this I won't have to wear shorts under my wedding dress. I also didn't put a ton on for fear of staining my dress but I'm thinking if you put on a little more and do it RIGHT when you get out of the shower and give it a good long time to soak in, it will probably last longer. Anyways, I'm happy! So glad I found this.

I got this to give it a try before a trip to Key West.... let me tell you, it worked amazing. I was able to walk around in my shorts and bathing suit all day with no chafing on my inner thighs at all. It made my trip so much more comfortable. Will be purchasing again. Highly recommend. I did reapply after swimming or a couple hours of walking.

Used this for a recent golf outing on a hot, humid day and it SAVED my legs. Seriously. Goes on clear, dries clear, and leaves skin feeling velvety so there is no chafing. Despite sweating the day away, I applied and reapplied just once and that’s all it took. I highly recommend this product for anyone who deals with chafing - your skin will thank you.

Works great for chafing and itching. Recommend highly. It even works better than coconut oil!

The stuff really works! It prevent chafing without getting all over the place…neat and clean.

Fits the purpose. All day long lasting effect. Highly recommended.

It deserves all the praise. I understand that it is a bit costly but trust me - this is a must for men during Hajj & Umrah.

I bought this mainly for preventing chafing in hot weather and it actually worked much better than I expected. The gel goes on smoothly and dries into more of a silky powder-like finish instead of feeling sticky or greasy. It helped reduce friction really well when wearing dresses, walking a lot, or exercising. A little product also goes a long way, so the tube lasts longer than it looks like it would. I liked that it didn’t have a strong smell and sat comfortably under clothing without feeling heavy. Overall, one of those products that sounds a bit random at first but ends up being genuinely useful to keep around, especially during summer.

Me encantó, la uso principalmente para ponerme en mis muslos antes de jugar basquetbol, por que a veces cuando el short se subía me lastimaba. Aguanta el sudor y el movimiento, no requiero de usar mucho para que cumpla su función a la perfección.
