Where to Apply Run Slick for Maximum Comfort (Running, Triathlon & Long Days on Your Feet)
Share
Friction is one of the most common — and most overlooked — problems in movement.
Until it happens.
And once it does, it can ruin:
-
a run
-
a race
-
a swim
-
a hike
-
or even just a long day on your feet
The good news is that most friction issues are predictable — and preventable.
Here’s how to use Run Slick effectively.
Where to Apply Run Slick
1. Inner Thighs
One of the most common friction zones.
Especially during:
-
long runs
-
races
-
hot weather training
-
hiking
Apply a thin layer to the inner thighs before activity to help reduce irritation caused by repeated movement.
2. Under Sports Bras / Chest Area
Friction from fabric + sweat builds quickly.
Apply to:
-
bra line
-
under the chest
-
areas where clothing repeatedly rubs
This is especially helpful during longer sessions or high-sweat conditions.
3. Underarms
Underarms are a high-motion area where both skin-to-skin and fabric friction occur.
Apply lightly before:
-
runs
-
workouts
-
long days in motion
4. Wetsuit Neck (Triathlon & Open Water)
This is one of the most painful friction points.
Wetsuits create constant movement around the neck, which can lead to irritation over time.
Apply around:
-
lower neck
-
collarbone area
before putting on your wetsuit.
5. Hot Spots
Friction doesn’t just happen above the waist.
Before:
-
long runs
-
marathons
-
long walking days
Apply lightly to areas prone to friction to help reduce irritation over time.
6. Long Days on Your Feet
Run Slick isn’t just for athletes.
It works well for:
-
travel days
-
amusement parks (long walking days)
-
festivals
-
everyday movement
Anywhere movement + time = friction.
How to Apply
-
Apply to clean, dry skin
-
Use a thin, even layer
-
Focus on high-friction areas
-
Reapply if needed for extended activity
Why It Works
Run Slick creates a smooth barrier that helps reduce friction between:
-
skin and skin
-
skin and fabric
The goal is simple:
Stay comfortable so you can focus on movement.
Final Thought
Friction doesn’t show up immediately.
It builds.
And once it starts, it’s hard to ignore.
The best move is to prevent it before it happens.
If it rubs, Run Slick on it™
