The thigh’s the limit: how to avoid summer chafing

My friend and I were discussing how much we adore summer, except for one thing… the thigh chafe is authentic! Also known as the more general term “chub rub” is a frizzy term that avoids its sizeist connotation. Shorts are in the middle so that the collapsed fans and skirts are prescriptions for pain. In fact, summer heat can cause fabrics and skin to rub against or rub against the skin, such as the arms, chest, waistband, and halter straps around the neck. Also, all solutions to alleviate redness, stinging, raised rashes, all without all solutions (save to avoid moving around in the heat).

The first line of defense is the anti-chaffin gel, which provides a little slip on the skin. My favorite is Ranakan’s anti-chafingerit is popular with marathon runners because it leaves the consistency of makeup primers on a silky barrier as it glides on the skin. Maybelline’s baby skin primer Improvised scuffs on MacGyver. I recommend you to prescribe it specifically Chaffin Anti Chaffin Gel Like: Body Glide Sking Ride Anti Charge Cream, CARPE non-bloating thigh sweat absorbing anti-chafin lotionand if you’re in America, Monistat’s rub-wrapped powder gel It’s popular.

Another option is “liquid talc” or liquid powder. Don’t trick your name. Safer alternatives like tapioca and cornstarch are often used in place of talc to absorb moisture. It can be applied like lotion, so it’s a great option if you have multiple areas you want to cover. Liquid talc is technically developed for nappie rash, so it is safe to use around intimate areas and also contains ingredients that fight friction, making it suitable for rubbing irritation. For example, it’s super budget-friendly, Little Angels Liquid Talk by Asda – Stealing under £2! Biolane liquid talc and Ballsy Boob Guard Rikid Powder It’s also a good option.

Like gel, barrier cream does just that. It forms a layer of product between the skin and clothing to prevent frictional irritation. They often come with handy deodorizer style applicators Megababe Thigh Rescue Anti-Friction Stick, It is said that it sells one stick every 30 seconds around the world. Includes more affordable options Gold Bond Friction Defence Stick Long lasting, unscented, gentle aloe version on your skin Chafe Safe Gel stick on KT tape Water and anti-absorption. For sensitive skin, try the award winnings First Aid Beauty Anti-Cuff Stick with Seater Butter + Colloidal Oatmeal.

However, if you think your cosmetic options won’t cut, your next option is a bicycle style short story, specially made for this purpose. Normal athletic and shapes are made of thicker, less breathable fabrics, especially if there are seams along the inner surface (want to avoid). Anti-chaff shorts from M&S Collection It’s extremely lightweight, in two packs, and offers a choice of culturally diverse nude colours. I love Thigh Society Inc Because there are a variety of fabric options, including natural cotton versions and “cooling” shorts for breathable moisture absorption properties. Both are longer than most anti-chaff shorts on the market, and run six times the size from the XS. If you prefer one low underwear, but still need some protection Knicksbecause they are well known for their period and incontinence underwear, they applied this technique to them. Thigh saving shorts Available in 4-inch, 6-inch and 10-inch lengths.

Finally, if you have a case of thigh scuffs this summer, your dermatologist recommends that you never get hot in blisters or frayed areas with cold or lukewarm water. Instead, avoid harsh cleansers. Cerave’s moist body wash or Cetaphil’s Pro Restoraderm Nutritional Body Wash. Do not rub, but dry with a towel before applying. (Eucerin) Aquaphor Healing Ointment Or aloe vera to soothe the skin. Applying simple petroleum jelly will protect the irritated skin and help you fight further friction.

So, where did you place that sundress…?
