If anyone wants to try something cheaply. Monistat chafing relief powder gel.

Active Ingredients: Dimethicone - 1.2 % (Skin Protectant)

Inactive Ingredients: Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Silica, Tocopheryl Acetate, Trisiloxane

I think this would break me out, I wish I could try it.

Monistat Anti-Chafing Gel. I find it invaluable for all the bike riding I do on the playa. Between the heat and the dust, this is a real life saver for any body parts that might be rubbing together.

u/nimue173 · 9 pointsr/TheGirlSurvivalGuide

Bike shorts work great, but when it's too hot for the extra layer I use Monistat Chafing Gel. When rubbed into the skin, it feels like a really silky powder. It's not sticky at all.

u/[deleted] · 7 pointsr/TrollXChromosomes

This stuff is amazing. Bonus: you can also use it as makeup primer!

u/hobguy7996 · 6 pointsr/tifu

Now you listen here Mister. If you think for one God Damned second that your "Goldbond" is the best Anti-Chafing product, then you must not know of this stuff. I would highly suggest you give it a go. It can be found at your local Wal-Mart by the rubbers and pussy meds.

u/kongholiday · 6 pointsr/keto

Body glide is decent, but it kind of stinks after it mixes with sweat and stuff. And it's pretty greasy. I've tried every anti-chafe product known to man or woman and This stuff (Monistat Soothing Care Chafing Relief) is unfucking believable. There's simply no other way to describe it. I just wish they'd put it in a neutral package and market it to dudes as well. Boys have chub-rub issues too and I'd rather not have to include the feminine hygiene aisle in my shopping trips...

u/ladylolz · 6 pointsr/MakeupAddiction

This. Sounds weird but it works perfectly and it has actually helped my sensitive, acne prone skin. You can purchase it at most drugstores and Wal-Mart carries it. There are many reviews online about using this product as a primer.

u/squidboots · 5 pointsr/SkincareAddiction

I too am "blessed" with large pore genetics.

My advice, in addition to the excellent tip to add in BHA to your routine, is to find a good foundation primer. If you can tolerate 'cones, I think that dimethicone-based primers are much better at masking large pores than non-'cone based primers. Monistat Anti-Chafing Gel is an exact dupe for Smashbox Photo Finish Primer! You can get it at most grocery stores/pharmacies. I get it at Target for about $5 in the feminine care section. If you can't do 'cone-based primers, I like KORRES Pomegranate Mattifying Primer.

u/mysuperfakename · 4 pointsr/MakeupAddiction

This stuff as primer is the EXACT same thing as the Smashbox except its $6 for 1.5 ounces.

u/_backpfeifengesicht · 3 pointsr/DIYBeauty

So sorry I don't have a DIY suggestion for you, but I have a cheap alternative that you might like.

I use Monistat Chafing Relief Powder Gel as my primer. It can be had for under $10 and works really well, just as well as an expensive primer.

I had received a sample of Smashbox primer and decided to compare the two. The Smashbox was a teeny bit thicker, but other than that, no difference except for you get loads more product with Monistat.

Check out the reviews on Makeup Alley: http://www.makeupalley.com/product/x_showreview.asp?itemid=98437

I got mine at Wal-Mart for about $5. I've also seen it at Target. It's on drugstore.com for $6:

It's more expensive, but you can find it on amazon for about $10:

I hope this helps!

u/Belloved · 3 pointsr/MakeupAddiction

I have the same problem and recently bought the Monistat primer and Skindivia Setting Spray(which sadly I got for 19 dollars a week ago without Prime so I'm really sad it's on sale now :( ). The monistat didn't do much to control the shine but the Setting Spray did completely. I lasted a good 6 hours without blotting and no shine! Soooo happy I bought this... Try it out while it's still on sale :)

u/hawps · 3 pointsr/LifeProTips

I live for Monistat's Anti Chafing Gel. And, this is going to sound weird, it also works as a great makeup primer. It has a similar consistency to Smashbox primer, which is like $40 a tube.

u/dmbishop22 · 3 pointsr/TwoXChromosomes

This has probably already been said, but have you tried anti-chafing gel?

u/MCHammerCurls · 3 pointsr/Fitness

Bodyglide or Monistat Anti Chafing Gel (which as an added bonus also works wonderfully as a makeup primer).

u/diamondmeadows · 2 pointsr/loseit

I think compression shorts are the best, maybe with some baby powder underneath if you're going to get hot and sweaty. Also, when I was 200+ I couldn't wear dresses/skirts without getting a rash from my thighs rubbing together. I used to buy this product and it worked wonders. The downside is that it's kind of pricey and it's made by Monistat but it really did work well for me: http://www.amazon.com/Monistat-Soothing-Chafing-Powder-Gel-1-5-Ounce/dp/B0012ZNSWE/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

Great job starting up the exercise. Keep going with diet and exercise and after a while you won't need to worry about this anymore. :)

u/theywerecones · 2 pointsr/SkincareAddiction

I wonder if a silicone primer would be a better choice, because I'm not sure it would be easy to find a dupe for this.. the following are the only ones I could think of that would be cheaper:

($7.13/oz):
http://www.drugstore.com/black-radiance-complexion-perfection-shine-control-primer/qxp362045

($3.90/oz):
http://www.amazon.com/Monistat-SootTing-Chafing-Powder-Gel-1-5-Ounce/dp/B0012ZNSWE

I haven't tried either of them so I can't say how close they would be. For something more moisturizing, I really like Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel which is $6.19/oz if you get the larger size.

u/kipperTsf · 1 pointr/TheGirlSurvivalGuide

omg LADIES WHO WEAR SHORTS, I can vouch for that Monistat stuff at the end of the article, 100%. Matter of fact, this article may have been where I first found out about it many moons ago. Anyways, PICK SOME UP next trip to Walmart (around the vadge stuff, you know). A tube will last you quite a while -- probably longer than I think because I tend to overapply out of paranoia that I'm missing the worst spot of them all, surely. I live in an awful, hot, humid place with theme parks, so I have run that stuff through the ringer and it is the best. Has never stained clothes, feels 1,000,000,000% comfortable and natural, lasts for hours ....okay fine I live in Florida. All Floridians with normal, touching thighs, have this on hand. Ugg I should copy and paste this to them so they'll send me some for free. God bless that purple tube. Don't look back.

This was her link to it

u/howbadcanIbe · 1 pointr/RandomActsofMakeup

yep. I'd never used a primer before and was watching a makeup tutorial before I started using reddit or had heard about makeup sr's. It's this. It has the same active ingredients as MAC's primer, I believe it was. It works brilliantly and is so much less expensive. I'm on a pretty serious budget ;)

u/nowxisxforever · 1 pointr/MakeupAddiction

If buying online is an option, Amazon is way easier (and less embarassing).

u/Aingeala · 1 pointr/MakeupAddiction

I'm picking up monistat chafing gel that I read (somewhere on the sidebar of this sub) is a perfect dupe for smashbox primer. The reviews on amazon seem to uphold that it works for this use pretty well.

u/felix-felicis45 · 1 pointr/NaturalBeauty

Whoops. I didn't see your question about petroleum. I assume you mean petroleum jelly like Vaseline or Aquaphor? I haven't heard concerns about contamination with crude oil (from any reputable medical or scientific sources). Again this is a separation based on the length of the carbon chain, an easy separation. Mineral oil and Petroleum jelly are both non-comedogenic, which means they won't clog your pores. However, that doesn't mean that it is guaranteed not to give you acne. Everyone's skin is different, and responds accordingly. YYMV (Your Mileage May Vary).

There are 3 types of moisturizers: Humectants, Emollients, and Occlusives. Petroleum jelly is an occlusive. Which means it sits on top of the skin and forms a barrier that keeps moisture from escaping (just like mineral oil).

Some people like to use it as a makeup remover as well.

If you mean to use it as a moisturizer, here's how to maximize your efforts.

  1. Use the mineral oil (or whatever) to remove your makeup.
  2. Now cleanse your face (OCM or facial cleanser, I like Vanicream's).

    I only do Steps 1 &2 in the PM. In the AM, I simply splash my face with water.

  3. Now apply toner, if desired (I love alcohol-free witch hazel.)
  4. Next apply any treatments you need (AHAs, BHAs, retinols, etc.).
  5. Now apply your primary facial moisturizer (CeraVe, Cetaphil, Neurtogena, whatever you like).
  6. Here is where you 'cap' or 'seal in' the moisture with the Vaseline. (Many people prefer to do this only in the PM. I personally don't mind it under my makeup.)
  7. Optional: I like to use dimethicone here to keep my face from being slick/sticky. Many makeup primers have dimethicone as the main ingredient. I buy one by Monostat because of the price. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0012ZNSWE/ref=twister_B013RDL0R8?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

    If it's the PM, you're done! Stop here. If it's the AM, continue.

  8. If you apply sunblock, do it now.
  9. Now apply your makeup.

    Congrats, you're ready for the day!

    As for using mineral oil as a natural, one-step body mosturizer, it's easy! Simply apply after bathing when your skin is still a bit wet (not dripping). You don't need much.

    I hope that was helpful!

OMG.....use this stuff. It changed my freaking life: Monistat Anti Chafe Powder Gel!

I can wear shorts/dresses again. It's a freaking MIRACLE.

u/AskMrScience · 1 pointr/bigboobproblems

I've never tried it, but many women swear by putting talcum powder under their breasts to reduce chaffing and moisture during the day. That might help your skin heal. You can also use standard antiperspirant under your breasts if sweat is causing irritation.

Another product to look into is an anti-chafing gel, which are often sold to long distance runners. In the US, a popular one is Monistat anti-chafing gel (which coincidentally can also be used as a make-up primer, since its main ingredient is dimethicone).

u/skippingwithsporks · 1 pointr/SkincareAddiction

A couple people here mentioned Smashbox photo finish primer, and I just wanted to let you know that Monistat anti-chafing gel is a fantastic dupe. I bought a big tube for $8 and it works just as well for me as the Smashbox. You might want to look into it if you don't want to shell out as much money to try a new product!

u/hawaii5uhoh · 1 pointr/running

If you're okay with using something that sounds like it's for women, Monistat makes an incredibly effective gel that helps enormously and lasts for hours - plus NO RESIDUE, which Vaseline and Body Glide sometimes has, and isn't something you want on your dress pants. And the tiny bottle lasts a long time.
