Where to Apply Run Slick for Maximum Comfort (Running, Triathlon & Long Days on Your Feet)

Where to Apply Run Slick for Maximum Comfort (Running, Triathlon & Long Days on Your Feet)

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™
