Moisture absorption + skin lubrication = Protection against repetitive rubbing!
Chafing occurs because of frictional forces wearing down the outer skin layers forming so called “hotspots” where the skin reddens and eventually leads to a blistering. Keeping the skin in a healthy condition saves you both pain and discomfort during races and results in a confident performance.
Free the nipple!
Our USWE High Performance Anti-chafe stick is easy to apply and protects the skin against chafing and blistering and the formula provides a lubricating and long-lasting barrier. Just apply The Anti-chafe directly to the body where chafing occurs such as:nipples, feet, toes, shoulders, joints, inner thighs, etc.
The Magic Formula
The Anti-Chafe Stick stick uses a patented formula called Upsalite® stemming from state-of-the art research from Uppsala University in Sweden. It’s synthesized from naturally derived minerals, additive free and safe.
Upsalite® can absorb 10 times more moisture than regular magnesium carbonate. It is incorporated in the formulation to capture excess moisture and thereby providing a longer lasting effect making the stick last as long as you.
FAQ:
Why is chafing a problem in many endurance sports?
Chafing is one of the most common injuries among active persons. Studies have reported blister rates of 26% to 85% among ultra-marathon adventure runners. In the single-stage ultramarathon 40.1% of finishers cited friction blisters as adversely affecting race performance.
Why does chafing occur?
Chafing occurs because of frictional forces mechanically wear down the outer skin layers forming so called “hotspot” where the skin reddens. Eventually the forces separate the skin epidermal cells in the stratum spinosum causing a void that is filled with fluid leading to a blister.
The risk of separation increases with higher friction number of load cycles. Moist skin as a result of sweating increases friction along with long-distance activities.
Why is USWE Anti-chafe Stick good for me?
The stick is easy to use and easily applies to the skin to create a protective, long lasting lubricating barrier between your skin and your high—performance clothing and shoes.
What is Upsalite®?
Upsalite® is a patented highly porous form of magnesium carbonate. Due to the large surface area, high pore volume and water-free structure, Upsalite can absorb more that 10 times more moisture than regular carbonate.
Where is the USWE Anti-chafe Stick produced?
Produced and filled in Sweden.
How was USWE Anti-Chafe Stick tested?
Uswe body anti-chafe stick has been scientifically tested as well as performance field tested by professional athletes.
