The Cause of Your Legs Chafing

The reason why you may experience more chafing between your legs in the summer is because your skin swells due to the warm temperatures. Your thighs stick together and start to rub against each other. In the winter it is cold and you often wear trousers, which means the fabric absorbs it, while this is of course not the case with skirts and dresses with bare legs.

The cause of chafing between the legs is therefore mainly due to higher temperatures, which means that sweat glands in your skin can no longer properly drain sweat and therefore become clogged in the long run. This can lead to the necessary skin irritation. Finally, this summer ailment cannot be blamed on, for example, (over)weight, but mainly on the build of your body. Every woman whose thighs touch each other while walking or standing can suffer from this! (and there are many, with both size 36 and 46)

The consequences

Chafing of the legs can cause uncomfortable skin irritation. You get a red and painful skin with red bumps or blisters. Your skin can also be a bit thicker and can cause abrasions and itching. Not pleasant if you want to walk around with bare legs for days! Of course, if you suffer from it, you want to get rid of it as soon as possible. The following tips will help you! Try to keep the skin cool with a washcloth and make sure that the skin does not come into physical contact with each other for a while. In general, the skin irritation disappears within a few hours to a few days.

The tapes are perfect for the summer when you want to protect your thighs, but do not want to wear warm pants under your dress. The 'Tape That Thigh' is available in 2 sizes and they are for single use.

Tip 2. Pants with legs

Some women cut off their own tights or leggings, but there are also special thin, shorter panties for sale that are more comfortable. Panties with legs have less freedom of movement than thigh bands, but are still very comfortable to wear. Panties with slightly longer legs are a very good solution under a skirt or dress. This way, the moisture is absorbed and your legs remain free of friction, your skin gets the chance to breathe and chafing of your skin is prevented. The sleek smoothers shorts are very thin shorts with a little bit of correction and work perfectly against chafing legs.

Tip 4. Apply to prevent skin irritation

What is often given as a tip is to lubricate with special creams. These special creams form a kind of protective layer on your skin, which means that your legs (less or not at all) rub against each other, but provide a sliding effect, as it were. As a result, there will be less friction and you will suffer less quickly from skin irritation. Do you not want to spend money on expensive creams? Vaseline and lubricant are also often suggested as tips. Vaseline is quickly absorbed, so after a while you will have to reapply a lot. Lubricant, on the other hand, is very slippery. All in all, there are enough lubricants available that can protect your legs, but of course it is a matter of finding out what works best for you and is most comfortable when you are wearing a skirt or dress!

Tip 5. Using talcum powder

If the above solutions are not suitable for you and you find the feeling of slippery legs very annoying? Then talcum powder is another alternative that is often used. The powder is moisture absorbent and that ensures that your legs remain dry for a certain period. The big disadvantage of talcum powder is the application. Of course, you do not want white spots on your clothes or powder on your legs.

Maybe I should just wear shorts then?

Tip 6. Use thigh bands

Another popular alternative are thigh bands . These are bands made of fabric that you can wear around both thighs under a skirt or dress. They are available in different shapes and sizes and are made of different materials. It all depends on what you find comfortable! The fabric of the thigh band absorbs sweat, which means that your legs will rub against each other less. This makes wearing a skirt or dress a pleasant experience again. You can buy simple ones in one color and made of cotton, but there are also some sexier versions on the market, these are made of lace, for example. A small disadvantage of this alternative can be that they can sag or roll up a bit during the day because they are not attached to anything, but this is often prevented with a silicone edge on the inside of the band.
