The Nu Guide: Why every person needs anti-chafing balm
Before there was Nu Butter, we knew nothing better. We reached for the anti-chafing product when we desperately needed it, and we suffered the consequences of using unnatural products on our most intimate skin. Think: vaseline. But since having Nu Butter in our lives, we have realised how much we love it, need it, and can’t believe how long we lived without it!
The thing is, Nu Butter is not just an anti-chafing balm. It’s an everything balm. A nourishing butter than can be used head to toe, in every nook and cranny, and on all extremities.
But for this Nu Guide we are going to focus on movement. Because movement means friction, which sometimes means sore.
Whether you’re logging Kms on your morning run, hitting the gym or Pilates class, hitting Spin class or riding a bike outside, walking the dog or tramping trails on the weekend, there’s one hidden culprit that can quickly derail your momentum: chafing.
If you’ve felt that post race or workout burn—raw, irritated skin in all the wrong places—you know it’s more than just an annoyance. It’s painful, distracting, and can throw off your entire routine. That’s where Nu butter anti-chafing balm can help. But user beware: don’t apply after you’ve chafed! Make sure you’re layering this good stuff on before you get out and about.
Formulated with 100 % natural barrier-loving ingredients like hemp oil, beeswax, kawakawa leaf, calendula flower, kanuka leaf oil, Nu Butter acts like a breathable second skin—keeping you protected without feeling greasy or sticky. Nu Butter is a performance-driven, sensitive-skin-friendly anti-chafing balm that’s designed to go the distance with you.
Preventing skin irritation before it begins is a mission of ours, to keep everyone of all leisure and athletic abilities active and comfortable. Chafing can appear at any stage of life affecting all genders but active females have unique factors such as:
• Sports bras create friction around the chest, ribcage, and back and did you know an estimated 50% of women are wearing incorrectly fitted bras?!
• Thigh rubbing is common for all ages but worsens as our skin loses its elasticity or if we are training for longer periods of time
• Hormonal shifts during the menstrual cycle can make skin more sensitive
• Hormonal changes in menopause leads to more sensitive skin to chemicals, material and sweat
• Endurance training like running, triathlons, or team sports means more sweat and movement over longer periods
If any of these are resonating with you, and you’re yet to give Nu Butter a go, we would love you to try it. We figure that if we can encourage everyone to think about what holds them back when trying to do what they love, and if it’s something that could be solved or soothed by Nu Butter, then read on.
Nu Butter help to prevent:
• Rubbing and rawness on the inner thighs
• Under bra, between breast or back of bra irritation
• Redness, and stinging armpits
• Rubbing waistbands
• Heel and foot dryness
It’s probably true that as we get older we get worse (or better?!) at ignoring our ailments. For everything movement related, perhaps Nu Butter can help remove that complacency.
It’s also worth a mention that not only does Nu Butter help prevent the dry, rubbing, sore friction, it actually feels great. You’ll wonder why you didn’t cover your body in it sooner.
It’s absolutely perfect as an everything balm for everyone in every scenario. Moving will never feel better!
