Save your skin from the heat: 8 tips against thigh chafing in summer

I won’t be unfounded if I say that the problem of chafing on the thighs is familiar to all women with a curvaceous figure. Because of them, summer often turns into a complete nightmare. After each walk, the girls are forced to walk in a brace for several days, trying not to hurt the wound. However, there are many ways to avoid chafing, and I’ll tell you about them today.

Closing the hips

The obvious advice is to wear jeans or shorts. However, it is far from the most effective and convenient. In hot weather, such outfits are a real torture instrument! However, there are a couple of other options.

Firstly, you can wear pantaloons or short bicycle shorts, preferably flesh-colored, under the dress. Don't be afraid that others will see this item of underwear. And in general, nothing will be noticeable under a long dress. At the same time, no rubbing, pain or bloody wounds.

Secondly, in the West, for women who do not like to wear thick underwear in the heat, the so-called “bandelettes” were invented. These are special elastic bands that are put on problem areas and secured like stockings. They:

• They don't slide down, unlike bicycle shorts.
• They are made of thin materials, so they will not be hot in summer.
• They look stylish - lace fabric looks beautiful and even seductive.

We treat the skin

If you don’t want to wear anything extra in the heat, you can treat your thighs with cosmetics. There are even special means for this. However, ordinary gels, which are sold in almost any pharmacy, will suffice.

A universal remedy is baby soap. You just need to wet the skin a little and wipe it with soap. It significantly reduces friction when walking. In addition, children's products consist of hypoallergenic components, so the method is suitable even for those with problem skin.

You can also borrow a special diaper cream from cosmetics for babies. The notorious “Bepanten” is suitable, which helps with irritation and diaper rash. It will replace friction with sliding and relieve constant pain. True, the cost of such a product will not please the wallet. Finally, if you don’t want to buy expensive children’s cosmetics, powder will come to the rescue.

Adult remedies that may also be useful:

• Solid deodorant. Helps well even in extreme heat. Does not leave marks on clothes. In addition, it gives a long-lasting feeling of freshness and eliminates unpleasant odor between the legs.
• Coconut oil. Creates a special film on the skin that protects from chafing. Promotes rapid healing of existing wounds. However, few people know that it can greatly dry out the skin.
• Zinc ointment. The miracle cure contains 90% Vaseline. It helps prevent hip friction. Zinc will dry out existing inflammations, promoting rapid healing of wounds.

We take care of clothes

The cause of severe chafing can be not only excess weight, but also incorrectly selected items. Too tight underwear will likely cause profuse sweating, which will contribute to chafing. The same goes for clothes that don't fit. In this case, abrasions appear just below the crotch. Hard fabrics should also be abandoned, replacing them with softer and thinner ones.
