COREY TOWERS
But while the summertime seems so footloose and fancy free, it can also have a down side.
With rising temperatures, shorter shorts, and increased sweat, many of us experience inner-thigh chafing.
It can be itchy, burning, red, and in extreme cases, can even blister.
Let me be clear: you’re free to experience chafing no matter what size your body is.
It can happen to anyone whose thighs touch.
It can strike anywhere when you have the deathly combo of moisture and skin-to-skin friction.
If you are prepared, chafing doesnt have to be the uninvited guest at your summer events.
Below, my best prevention tactics and remedies.
Isnt working out so glamorous?)
Forseriously sweatyexercise, 2Toms has literally saved my butt.
I have ridden my bike over 200K with2Toms Sport Shield for Her.
Its a fantastic product, and one I never ride without.
There are many anti-chafing products on the market but 2Toms is different than most Ive used.
Its sweat-proof and non-staining, and it creates an invisible, silky barrier of protection.
Deodorant is also a great weapon for anti-chafing, since the product is designed to keep you dry.
I highly recommend repurposing it for protection from chafing.
My favorite is theSecret Invisible Solid in LavenderClean.
Its nice and dry with a great fragrance.
I saw a homemade remedy ofcoconut oiland cornstarch on Pinterest and I thought I would give it a try.
It actually works really well and gives just enough glide without feeling too greasy and gross.
If you see them, scoop them up, because they are a definite way to eliminate chafing.
Thigh Societymakes great garments specifically for anti-chafing.
If you are running, avoid prominent seams inside the leg that could rub.
