Body Glide -- which one?

I've seen a number of people on this helpline recommend Body Glide to prevent foot blisters. Which of the many versions of that product do you use?

The anti-chafe Body Glide that looks like a deodorant stick. I rub it on my feet in morning (all over foot - top, bottom & sides) before putting on shoes or sandals. Works great. No blisters ever, even when not wearing socks.

Or just use a stick deodorant-antiperspirant. A cross country coach showed me the trick years ago. When your feet sweat your socks get wet. If they're cotton socks, they lose their cushion and you start to get friction that leads to blisters. Using antiperspirant on your feet keeps them dry and allows your socks to keep their cushion and reduce friction.

I always carry a Band Aid Friction Block stick in case my shoes start to rub. I initially got it when breaking in a new pair of running shoes, but I found it's great for everyday use, too. It's super cheap and tiny, which makes it easy to always have in your bag.
