I know you think I’m going to talk about a fart-filter or something of that nature, but you are WRONG!
Having problems with your ass? It’s not uncommon (double negative) for us athletes. There are the bike seat blues. And, the running rubbings. The kayaking caking and the horseback riding hammering. All kinds of chafing, friction and irritation that gets up in there. Well, maybe not UP in there, but UP ON there. If you’ve experienced it, you know what I mean.
I do have a lot of problems with my booty, yet chafing has so far not been one of my issues. Although, with half ironman training kicking in, I could be singing and chafing a different tune.
If your butt is a sore spot, consider Butt Shield. Supposedly, this roll on product provides relief from your worst saddle sores, chafing and ass rashes. More importantly (as it says on the package):
- It lasts all day. If you don’t like to rinse or wash after your workouts, then it will continue to provide protection all day at your kids’ soccer games or during date night with your lady/stud. Chris K. might like this since he is manly now.
- It is non staining. Neat. As if you could stain your butt any more than it already is. Bleaching on the other hand…
- It is unscented. Well, thank God. We wouldn’t want to try to mask any existing smell on the buttocks.
- It is non-greasy. For those of you with greasy asses, this won’t add a second coat.
- Also good for the non-athlete. Think long hospital stays, road trips, airline travel, waiting at the motor vehicles hell hole.

I get some chafing when running - esp in shorts although it was interesting to see where else chafed as I ran outside in the winter in non-shorts clothes. Tights had some interesting chafe spots!
ReplyDeleteI want/need this to make sure that my chafing doesn't STOP my running as who wants to run after you're chafed? If this minimizes pain, and will help to protect (or perhaps w/ body glide too) then that would turn me into a Running Machine!
Can this be fedexed before my 17-miles this weekend?
I have no butt therefore don't need ButtShield…but … cool product and you are the perfect person to hold a giveaway featuring it! No grease, no smell…I'm thinking the staining refers to the clothing on top of the BS.
ReplyDeleteDoes it do anything for piriformis/sciatica? I've been sidelined all week due to my sore ass. I need a butt massage stat!
ReplyDeleteToo bad you weren't giving away Bag Balm, if ya know what I'm sayin' ;)
ReplyDeleteSit ups on the Crossfit rubber mats always give me butt burn. I've been using the sissy mats under me to ease the pain, but it doesn't always work. That's reason enough to give it a try. I also hate the smell of Body Glide, so there's reason #2. Reason #3 - its name!
ReplyDeleteI chafe right at the base of my tail bone, where my cheeks come together. Not sure why but it's an awie spot to chafe!
ReplyDeleteI follow you!
ReplyDeletei am CRACKING up!!!!
ReplyDeleteAfter hours of sitting in my nice cushy office chair every day, I will be taking my butt out and sitting it on the hard, unforgiving seat of my new bike. I have a feeling I am really going to need the butt shield
ReplyDeleteI refuse to wear bike shorts, my butt is callused and the husband doesn't think it's so sexy.
ReplyDeleteButt shield, take me awayyyyyyyy.....
I totally want to win this so I can send it to my husband, who we joke gets a diaper rash when he runs without his spandex.

ReplyDeleteI did walking lunges yesterday, and then got a shot of penicillin today. Sore booty!

ReplyDeletei would like the butt shield ...i get sore on my arse. however i would prefer the fart shield b/c i fart too much while running and i might get caught soon on the treadmills and be kicked out of the gym due to the poison i am sending out
ReplyDeleteI'm a follower!
ReplyDeleteTri-training, I have no ass, so chaffe happens ... way too much
ReplyDeleteFor real? And I thought Anti Monkey Butt Powder was the most ridiculously named product out there. I might need some Butt Shield just to round out my collection.
ReplyDeleteCurrently I don't seem to have any butt problems except their is a big crack down the middle....but what the hell count me in.
ReplyDeleteI'm not actually entering because I'd hate for you to have to fork out for international postage. But I have a doosy of a reason for needing butt protection. I have a small tumour down there. Actually it's large enough to warrant it's own name - Hildegard.
ReplyDeleteOoh, I've got one right now after yesterday's ride. I really should use some bag balm instead of chamois cream. I'm defintely in and good luck at your HIM.
ReplyDeleteI'm a follower!
ReplyDeleteAnd I have serious chafing issues on the bike. Wowzers, 15 minutes into a ride and I sometimes want to cry. Body glide helps, but its not really made for seat issues.
ReplyDeleteWowsers! I would sooo like to try the butt shield (fart shield if you can track that one down too). Its so funny that you posted this because I thought I was the only one!!!!Its kind of embarrassing and a little awkward to ask your gym buddy about arse rash.
ReplyDeleteOk so embarassing to share butt chaf issues but hey I run I get it. :( I tried desitin...but that is messy. So I would love to try some butt shield!
ReplyDeleteI am a poster child for inner butt cheek chafing. Not pleasant!

ReplyDeleteif you think this will make me faster then I will enter but I have not issues with chaffing or rashing at this point in my endurance career so I'm just looking for anything that will make me faster. You did read the new entry qualifications for THE boston right? And since I did not get in through your other giveaway I really need to just get faster.
ReplyDeleteWell I don't have butt issues, thankfully. But do you think Butt Shield works on other parts of the body? Like inner thigh or bra areas?
ReplyDeleteI need it cause I have ALOT of riding to do this year for my half iron and I got ALOT of butt to cover. Help a girl out.
ReplyDeleteI already follow you..
ReplyDeleteI posted about the giveaway in my blog today but it occurs to me, you have over 1200 followers, I have 66.. shouldn't you be sending ME followers? Ok, I digress.. I told them to come follow you too.
ReplyDeleteand yes I went to the ButtSheild website.. I don't really need anymore internet retail therapy though..
ReplyDeleteyeah... so my butt is fine just how it is. No THANKS!
ReplyDeleteI mean, there is no product out there that can make it any more nicer for the ladies. God broke the mold with this rear end.
I need Butt Shield because my boss is a pain in the butt!
ReplyDeleteOh, and all that swim, bike, run stuff too...
-Elaine
my ass is always chaffed and raw from running (see you in Boston!!) and commuting by bike. i want to win this so i can have it on my desk... non-runners/athletes just don't get it.
ReplyDeleteIn training for a half marathon this spring, then for the Chicago Marathon in the fall. I've been running for years and experienced "weird" chaffing on my last run. Butt Shield, hahaha I said Butt Shield.

I once made the mistake of running after a ride in a normal chamois (not a tri chamois). Without any type of butt shield product. The thick chamois formed a tee pee under me, chafing my female privates. I had so much chafing, I had to lay on the couch for 2 days with my legs spread apart. And called my male doctor on a Saturday looking for pain relieving advice. Then I had to wear skirts with no underwear for a week.
ReplyDeleteThat was the worst athletic experience of my life! I now try any anti-chafing product out there looking for the perfect one.
Help me please!
And I am a follower! I heart your blog!
ReplyDeleteOh good lord, I have to enter this one. I've tried everything from Boudreaus' Butt Paste to K-Y jelly (just happened to be available, mind you) and compression shorts to stop chafing during ultramarathons. Nothing's worked yet. After the Kettle Moraine 100 Mile, I was told I couldn't get in the car for the ride home until I stopped bleeding.
ReplyDeleteButt Shield gives me the confidence to wear my white pants even on the hottest days! I don't leave home without my Butt Shield.....
ReplyDeleteI am laughing. People will tell you anything to get free stuff.
ReplyDeleteNeed to get my hubby something so that he can train comfortable for his century ride.
ReplyDeletefollow this blog
ReplyDeleteBlisterShield might actually be a good product for me for my marathon training.
ReplyDeleteI'm a follower of your blog!
ReplyDeletealso... i checked out the web site at work. hope they don't think its porn!
ReplyDeletei have been folloing you since you hooked up with RLAM!
Hysterical description! So far I've been butt pain-free, but I will surely keep this in mind should I encounter such problems!
ReplyDeleteI'm a follower! :)
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't take long on a mountain bike for my poor tush starts to feel the pressure and bouncing over the rocks and roots!
ReplyDeleteI really need that butt shield, there seems to be something riding my arse day in and day out and maybe if I applied the butt shield it might go away....
ReplyDeleteI would be significantly less healthy if I didn't read your blog every day. Farts, asses and awkward moments (and photos) help me laugh my stress away. THANK YOU.
ReplyDeleteI've been reading your blog for a while now. I have no idea if I'm 'subscribed' but I copied that RSS thing into my Outlook so I get little notifications for new posts. Anyway, you may be able to count me for a + subscriber! If not, sorry. :(
However, I'm happy to say I do not need the Butt Shield. Thank god. Give it to a poor soul who cringes at sitting down even on the fluffiest of pillows.
That submission (LOL... submission) from your husband was so sweet.
So, I'll shut up now and just say thank you. As a running girl who seriously needs to shut the **ck up and run, you save me. (and my ass from getting larger.)
THANK YOU!
-Stephanie
Wow. Never knew such a product existed. Count me int the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI'm also having a giveaway for some movie tickets for a running documentary coming out in March. Could you tell your bloggie friends about the giveaway and the movie? http://lazybonesrunning.blogspot.com/2011/02/giveaway-for-my-run-documentary-one.html
Thanks,
Christina
Lately, running hasn't been giving me much chafing, but I know with a big increase in miles and the hot desert summer on the way, it's only a matter of time. What kind of idiot plans to train for a 100 mile race during summer in Phoenix? Apparently I didn't think this through. At all.
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower - mainly from Adam (Boring Runner). More running blog sarcasm and potty humor? Sign me up.
I am training for my first marathon and my boyfriend is being such a trooper and ran 17 miles with my yesterday (my fartherst previously 13.1 miles and his fartherst before that was 6 miles) he went with me because he didn't want me to have to do it alone. He has some chaffing problems in that area lol. He is in law enforcement so he was not very happy with me when he went off to work tonight with that issue. lol
ReplyDeleteI need I need Butt Shield because I gave birth to 3 children and just don't have the control I used to, if you know what I mean. Could use it especially on my long runs.
