    Default Embarassing Chafing

    Argh, Im so embarrased. I gained some weight in my bottom half, and now when I walk my thighs tend to rub together. Combne that with the hot AZ weather, I get uncomfy chafing. It's embarassing! Someone please help, it's making me feel like a fat bowl of jello; my thighs could use toning, but they're not fat! They're just making me feel that way...

    You could try talcum powder. Hardcore runners swear by bag balm or something called runner's lube.

    my dad used to use runner's lube when he ran to stop the chafing. I think he also put it on his chest so his shirt wouldn't chafe his man boobs.

    i get chafing too. i just wear bloomers or split slips with skirts, or when i can't or don't want to, or when i get it anyway, i put some pure cornstarch (the kind you use for food) on the affected area. it helps like you wouldn't believe, and it's a great preventive, too. my gyno told me just to make sure not to get it in the pussy, though, as it can cause irritation. i've read some contradictory reports about talcum power being associated with cervical cancer, so i try to stay away from it for anything in the pelvic area, just to be safe.

    Oh man, the curse. I remember this it was soooo gross. Corsica, the best advice is to change your walking and posture.... and DO CARDIO. Don't live with it, change it! I got rid of it best by drying the area repeatedly, and made sure everything I wore seperated in that area.

    Good luck! Search through the wealth of knowledge here on losing weight... Venus Goddess KNOWS what she is talking about... a rare gem in the fitness industry.

    You could also try a diaper rash cream. Balmex makes a kind that drys clear and it is not messy and thick like other diaper rash creams. This will also make any redness or irratation go away. Also in the evening it is helpful to wipe the chaffed area with alcohol. Just put the alcohol on a cotton ball, the same way you would do with a face toner.

    OOOOOOH I hate that. Had that problem big time when I was a chubby teen. Baby powder didnt help because just feeling my inner thighs touch each other drove me nuts (still does!). I wore a lot of pants, tights, capris... also altered my gait so that my legs would brush together less frequently (though I dont think I can explain how). Now I make sure to work my thighs at the gym using stationary machines- tightening the muscles on the inside and back of your thighs will help pull that fat back into place. A lot of guys like to see that sexy gap right under the pussy, so it's worth keeping toned.
