Roo can be rough for those with chunkier thighs like myself. Is gold bond the only way? Trust me, I love gold bond and do not mean to forsake it. It helps SOOOO much, but there's still discomfort, ya know?
Any suggestions? (Besides putting down the fork/not walking)
Seriously. I carry a small zippy bag with a couple of fresh doses (less than a teaspoon) to see me through the day. For all the Gold Bond jokes, I've always used Vaseline. Bring it with you though as the General Store only sells huge tubs.

I've heard lots of people talk about GOLD BOND IS A MUST!
am I missing something? I just dont see myself needing it unless i'm in the jungles of central america or some place equally strange
Well, if your thighs dont rub together your fine. My first bonnaroo, and my skinniest, i never even thought about it, my second year a was a couple pounds heavier, and i used it for fun, and my third year, my heaviest yet, i would not have been able to enjoy the weekend without it. This year, i hope to be lighter than i was last year. Im want to loose at least 10 pounds before roo, and that is an attainable goal, and hopefully i wont need to rely on gold bond this year

With the amount of walking you have to do at Roo it's just best to be prepared, regardless of thigh density. Besides, it's nice and tingley....
i havent read every post so this may have been mentioned. but i used to get the chaff something fierce. ive had it ruin a couple fests. like to the point of bleeding. it can be horrible. i tried everything, all the creams and powders in the world. and nothing worked. but i finally found the ultimate solution and have had zero problems since. the key is anti-chaff running shorts. they are basically biker shorts but anti-chaff. i got the nike pro ones and they work. those shorts along with a stick of body glide (a deodorant type stick you apply to the needed area to prevent chaffing) and all your chaff problems will dissappear. im 100 percent serious, its not the cheapest solution but for me its the only one that works. and boy am i glad it does. no more ruined fests for me. you can get both items at mc sports or dicks sporting goods. and id imagine just about all sporting goods stores

Just a good pair of shoes. Don't try the old Wal-Mart flip-flops or you are in for a world of hurt. Especially if you end up camping in BFE.
Some prefer Crocs, I myself am wearing Keens. Should be a nice comfy Roo for me. I wore my Chacos last year and I was fine up until the last day and even during some of the late nights... my feet ached like crazy.
last year we stopped at walmart near our hotel in tn. they had bordeaux butt paste, which i had read about here. well i picked that up. along with some condoms (just in case ) and boy did my friend and i get some weird looks from the cashier. and then when we got home it was stiing on the counter. of course a friend happened to notice a bag with condoms and butt paste. its was good for a laugh.
btw that butt paste didnt help

That's hilarious - but the Beaudreaux's Butt Paste is for diaper rash anyway - it would not have prevented the chaffing - more helped to heal it after you got it.
ya i got it for treament just in case. but i think it made it worse. not to mention that it becomes more like pressurized water in the tube then a cream when left in a hot tent. so what out for spraying buttpaste when ya open it if ya decide to go that route.
also i highly recommend the body glide. even with the shorts ive felt it start to happen. a bit of the body glide makes it all better. even after its started a bit. the 2 combined is the final solution. for me anyhow.

Thinner people don't really have to worry as much about the chaffing but it's better to be prepared. I've run 1/2 marathons with no problems. However I did have the anti chaffing shorts, but no body glide.
