Construction worker shares his secret to combating summer inner-thigh chafing, he says an $8 purchase is a ‘godsend’

SOMETIMES the fun of summer also comes with intense skin friction.

And perhaps no one knows this better than a construction worker who found a way to deal with inner thigh irritation.

SKIN SCRUBBING REC

Editor Gtrdundave2 shared the affordable product that helps keep you comfortable in the warmer months.

If it works for him, it might be worth a try.

“I’m a guy, but Body Glide is the product you want,” he said, in response to someone who was asking for ways to help with their chafing concerns.

“It’s like a deodorant stick, but exactly what you’re talking about,” he continued.

“It’s more for runners and athletes. But for me, a construction worker, it’s a godsend.”

BREATHE BETTER

Target sales Body Glide Original Anti-Chafing Balm for $7.99.

The balm works to unclog pores with its long-lasting formula, allowing the skin to breathe better.

By forming an invisible barrier, it helps prevent friction caused by clothing, skin friction, and even friction from clothing, equipment, shoes, and clothing.

They recommend applying the non-greasy formula before putting on clothes.

It can also be used to prevent irritation caused by wearing a bra.

Another Redditor was also a fan of the discovery.

“I also use Body Glide and it seems to work well for me. If I sweat a lot, sometimes I have to reapply, but otherwise it’s been really good,” they said.

TAKE NOTE

Still others shared their own tricks for avoiding unwanted friction.

“Shorts and deodorant on your thighs,” said one user.

“Megababe Thigh Rescue. I mostly use it for running in shorts, but it works great! It makes my thighs glide smoothly over each other haha,” wrote another.

“I cut up a pair of old socks/tights into ‘shorts’ that I can wear under my skirts,” commented one Redditor.

“This works better for me – compared to baby powder, etc. – and because of the thickness of the material, I don’t get sweaty either!” they continued.

“Monistat Chafing Relief Power Gel – used for years. Total lifesaver,” added another.

“Chamois Buttr. Sporting goods stores sell it,” advised one Redditor.

“I wear boxer briefs and they really help. Baby powder or diaper rash cream usually works too,” said another.
