#chafing

[vagitterian]

so im trying to fix my thigh chafing lumps/blisters/damage, and here's my latest tip: wear your bicycle shorts inside out, so the irritating seams are on the outside.

i've found that when my thighs are damaged that even ostensibly soft and gentle clothes can make it worse because the seams rub against the damage. i was inspired by discussions by marathon runners about how women wear their sports bras inside out so the seams are on the outside when they run, to fight chafing.

seamless shorts should also help, but this is cheaper

I’m sure everyone knows this; but while it might be very hot in fic to imagine using Eddie’s bandana as restraints, don’t uh… don’t ever do that irl. for so many health and safety reasons. Ily

Good people who possess large boobs, I have a question:

How do you keep from chafing and breaking out during the summer in your in between areas of skin?

The summer is just beginning here. It has only been in the 90s but summer here will regularly get anywhere upwards of 105 daily. I am already clawing at my skin because of it getting overheated, sweaty and extremely itchy.

Is there a certain style of bra that is better or have you found a cream or something put in between your boobs to keep them cool, dry, and not itching?

Idk if you play Wordle or not, but there's a copycat version where you have to guess four words in 9 tries called Quordle. Anyway, the other day, the four words that you had to guess were: STALK, TRACK, GAUZE, and CHAFE. I immediately thought of you hehe

Those do make for some good one-word prompts!

I’ve been on the hunt for the anti-chafing sticks I used to use for summer running and finally had success. They’re marketed at runners, but literally anyone who deals with chafing in summer can prevent a lot of misery using these

This is the original I always used, but the link above lists a bunch of different options with pros/cons and the primary active ingredient.

periodic PSA that if you have chronic, red, tender chafing, especially along like body folds and if sometimes it seems to “flare up,” there’s a pretty good chance that’s not even chafing, it’s a fungal infection that’s made itself part of your skin flora, and it can be cleared up forever literally by applying athlete’s foot cream from any drugstore for, like, 1-2 weeks

So this is kind of vaguely feedism related but yoooo gimme tips for chub rub/thigh chafing, went out in a skirt today and my thighs didn't stop touching eachother like EVER for the 4 hours I was out, walking in the city. They've been constantly rubbing together, so I impulsively bought baby/talcum powder and put it on them and it worked as a temporary fix but they be prickly af right now hahahhaa. Apar from never walking in summer, i have no clue what to do lol. Help a girl out
