At least my armpits were turned on

As you know, I recently had a little bit of chafing on the underneath of my upper arms while running. At the time I was wearing two sports bras (thanks for all those who suggested it, I certainly don't want my new perky boobs bouncing around all over my chest so I strap those puppies down tightly) plus a vest with a built in bra thingy which made the seam on the side of the vest stick out quite a bit which rubbed against the underneath of my upper arm.  YOH! RUNNING IS DAMN HARD!

Anyway, I asked for suggestions from you kind folk and I got all sorts of excellent advice.  Something called Bodyglide (which I thought sounded just like sex lube), or bum cream (none left in the house) or good old Vaseline.  Which I should have plenty of lying around.  But of course, the damn Vaseline was nowhere to be found at sparrows fart on Thursday when I wanted to go for a run.  

I searched for as long as I could but time was marching on and I had to leave the house to take the kids to school so in desperation I peered into the back of my bathroom cupboard and found an old, unused tube of "Intimate Personal Lube For Her Pleasure".  I thought about it for a few seconds ('hmm, I am sure Bodyglide must be very similar to personal lube.....right?) and then thought "oh well, might as give it a shot".  I pumped a whole lot in the palm of my hand and applied liberally to my upper arms and around my armpits.

This was not a good idea.  FYI: Personal lube makes VERY bad anti chafing gel. 

I have since learnt that personal lube gets very thick and sticky, almost like glue, when it is on your hot skin.  It was quite a challenge to run with my upper arms almost glued to my side with lathers of now hot, thick and sticky personal lube. I was so paranoid that somehow the cars driving past knew I had personal lube on my upper arms.  I wont be doing that again in a hurry.  But hey, at least my armpits were turned on.

Chapstick works in a pinch!

Thanks for the laugh this morning - I really needed it! I enjoy reading your blog and I admire you for "sticking" to your exercise plan. :-)

If you find a better running bra, you won't need to wear two - and that might help a little. Freya makes some amazing underwire exercise bras that keep thinks strapped down TIGHT. They changed my life and made running so much more comfortable. They look like very boring, sturdy full-cup bras but are made of crazy sturdy fabric.

Too funny! I read this in the morning and have been chuckling about it all day. My sympathies to your poor gluey-but-turned-on pits.
