Three brands of anti-chafing cream tested
We have three great brands in our range and we have taken a closer look at them.
1. Squirrel's Nut Butter
Squirrel's Nut Butter is a completely natural, non-abrasive ointment. Although I don't think ointment is the right word. It feels more like a Some coconut oil has hardened. It only softens when it's a bit warmer. That's the case here too. So when it's colder, you have to break the cream up a bit and let it soften on your hands. It smells nice, and once it's liquid, it spreads well. Sometimes a small, hard granule seems to remain. It stays on for a long time, if you apply enough, and therefore works perfectly.

2. Revvi
Revvi has a completely different product. This is a really soft, spreadable cream. It's more reminiscent of body lotion. And that's exactly how it smells.Now, this isn't just an anti-friction cream; it also works directly against dryness and is antibacterial. I didn't experience any blisters or irritation, but it feels more like a lotion for dry and cracked skin than a true anti-chafing cream.
3. Runguard
Runguard Runguard is the third. This one only comes as a stick for spreading, not as a can or jar. Runguard is very similar to Squirrel's Nut Butter (SNB). This product also uses coconut oil, but you smell Runguard less. It actually works pretty much the same as SNB.
