Why We Built the Cleanest Anti-Chafe Stick on the Planet
When Ben trained for his first 50-mile ultra through the Moab, Utah desert, he needed an anti-chafe stick almost daily (4-5x/week for training) But he kept looking at the labels and hesitating... most of the regular sticks (like Body Glide) use synthetic waxes, stabilizers, and artificial fragrances...
He didn’t feel right applying that to his skin four times a week. Why? Because over 80% of what you put on your skin can be absorbed into your bloodstream.
The Problem with Conventional Anti-Chafe Products
- Hidden synthetic ingredients that can irritate skin
- Artificial fragrances linked to sensitivities
- Lack of ingredient transparency
The “Aha” Moment That Sparked Live Cushy
During that race, Ben realized there had to be a better way. He wanted performance, safety, and transparency—without compromise. So we built our own solution.
The Cushy Philosophy
Simple ingredients. Clean performance. Complete transparency.
Our anti-chafe stick contains no parabens, phthalates, or synthetics. We only use ingredients your body already knows. Designed for runners, athletes, and everyday movers who care about what goes on their skin.
