What is the best lotion/creme/glide to prevent chaffing on your arms, nipples, thighs, etc that DOESN’T stain your clothes? Thanks!
Ballocks chamois cream.
I don’t have any noticeable staining on my gear and I find that good ol’ Vaseline works best, stays / lasts longer especially if you are swimming first, than other substances like body glide chamois butter etc… As for the NIPS those are one place I don’t take chances and I throw some waterproof 3m athletic tape over those bad boys. It only takes one case of BNS (bloody nipple syndrome) to realize you don’t want to do that again, plus they really ruin a finish line photo.
+1 for petroleum jelly
Body glide for the under arms

For cycling, I swear by the Assos creme. Perfect consistency and it holds up very well for long rides.
For wetsuit, I like the spray on TriGlide- goes on very easy, doesn’t hurt your wetsuit, and holds up during a full IM swim for easy wetsuit removal.
For nipple chafing, my favored approach is using Liquid Bandage- it’s not a lube but rather creates a protective barrier. It comes in a little brown bottle found in the first aid section of your drug store. Looks & smells a lot like clear nail polish. You brush it on and it will provide protection for a couple of days. Will also disinfect treatment area if you already have skin broken there.
been using the TriSlide spray thing for all the spots. Didn’t notice it making any stains on my clothes.
I’m partial to Sport Slick myself. Way longer lasting than most others and works on toes, nips, lips etc. to prevent chafing, blisters and the like. Plus it has some SPF and is anti bacterial.

I am also a fan of 2 Toms Sport Shield. I am not that convinced about their Butt Shield yet though. It’s certainly less messy than Chamois Cream. Both come in a roll on applicatior like a deoderant roll on.
The Sport Shield worked well for the calves and ankles for quick wetsuit removal too. It is incredibly slick stuff and you don’t need much.
The Butt Shield has some other ‘soothing’ stuff in it I think.

Noxema by the fakey store brand bucketload. Super cheap.
body glide. one stick goes a long way too
brave soldier friction zone!! Tried it based on Rappstar’s recommendation in an older post and no looking back since. Eats Assos, Chamois Butter, et al’s lunch.

This. Nothing else works as well as this.
the liquid bandage nipple armor trick is awesome, I’ve used that for years now. Saves so much pain (and ruined shirts with their oily nip spot stains)
On the bike I have been using DZ Nutz. It is great because it also includes anti-fungal in the mix to help keep things a little sweeter down there.
For all other chaffing issues I will just use the classic Glide.
I use Bag Balm for lubing the ‘under carrage’ on rides and also for my neck area for wetsuits swims. When I was heavier and my thighs would chafe on longer runs, i started wearing Tri shorts.

Downside of it lasting too long is that the taint pubes tend to collect a bit.
Did I go too far?
no your good, just don’t get any ideas about posting pic’s
