Unless you are one of those women born with wishbone legs and thighs that don't rub together you have probably experienced thigh chafing in hot weather. In hot, humid weather you can get a red rash between your legs that develops when your thighs sweat and then rub together. This usually only happens when wearing dresses or skirts for long periods of time. The constant rubbing can cause chafing.
You may have tried baby powder, which works only for a short while. Perhaps you've tried the professional bicyclist's trick: Vaseline. But that's really messy. Before you give up on skirts and wear only shorts in the summer (the horror!), I've got a fix for you. Actually, 2 fixes.
The Antiperspirant Fix
To keep your thighs from chafing when you wear a dress or a skirt, simply apply an antiperspirant to the inside of your thighs. You can use roll-ons or sprays. The antiperspirant keeps your thighs from sweating so chafing won't happen. Keep the antiperspirant in your purse for really long days in the sun.
The Anti-Chafe Balm Fix
My runner friends swear by anti-chafe balm for any body parts that tend to chafe. I recommend BodyGlide Anti-Chafe Balm for Her, buy it from Amazon.com.
