I was
sent a free sample of this product after stumbling upon their
promotion through Twitter. I was not certain at the time that it
would be sent to me since I live in Canada. Their positive response
to my request was most welcome. From the start, I intended to write
up a review, but I wanted it to be different than the myriad positive
reviews I've read.
Crotch
Guard was developed for cyclists. Yes, I have on tours rubbed pretty
raw down there a couple of times and I have used other products in
the past to deal with the problem. We put it to the test. When I say
we, I mean members of my immediate family. I'm not the most qualified
for everything we wanted to test it for.
I
applied the product and took it for a road test. Incidentally, it's
pump spray bottle makes the product very easy to apply and as
advertised it absorbs completely into the skin in very short order.
Once the product had absorbed, the only indication that it was there
was that it worked, no chaffing, no redness just healthy skin. There
was no visible residue on my clothing during the testing period.
Derma-Tect,
Inc the manufacturer makes one more claim that we are able to test.
They guarantee their product to be hypoallergenic. My son Brandon is
hyper-allergic. He cannot wear any big brand deodorant on the market
that we are aware of, in fact, he can't take the lid off and take a
deep whiff of the fragrance. It took us some real searching to find a
product that he can use. He is allergic to something in soft drinks
and many packaged foods. He has a prescription to carry an EpiPen,
just in case.
This
test we did is not in any other reviews I have seen. We were very
confident in the claim though otherwise we probably wouldn't have
even tried it. Brandon gave the spray a sniff test before applying
the product to his skin. He had absolutely no reaction to it at all.
Allergies are hard to predict but with him being able to use it
successfully without complication, I'm even more confident in their
claim.
By
my skinflint standards, it is not inexpensive. It does everything it
claims though and I wholeheartedly recommend it. If you're
interested, the product can be purchased through their website.
