Secret Weapons—Secret to Me, Until Now

So many secret weapons in a woman’s arsenal. Little day-savers... that I’ve never heard about until starting CapsuleStyle.

I've found two in the last two days.

• Bodyglide Original Anti-Chafe Balm (1.5 ounce) Thanks to “From Couch to 5k,” a six-week course that I've just signed up for at Greater Boston Running Company in Lexington, MA, I just got this yesterday and can't wait to try it. As a curvy girl, I've had a problem with, ahem, chafing since I was ten. Going to the beach? Wearing shorts or a skirt sans pantyhose? Hooray, a day ending in raw, stinging thighs.
• Hollywood Fashion Tape—Lets you stick garments to themselves, each other, or yourself. Its Amazon.com entry claims that it’s “specially formulated adhesive is gentle on skin, hypoallergenic, and leaves no residue on your garments.”

I'm trying both, but if they work, I wonder how I've lived without these two secret weapons. The answer: uncomfortably.
