How to Prevent Chafing - 3 Tips That help you prevent Chafing in 2022

As the summer season is approaching, the combination of humidity, sweat and friction in your sensitive areas is also approaching. The word chafing in itself sounds uncomfortable and we all have been there and are very well aware of how it feels.

Chafing can include anything from the painful result of friction from skin or clothing to serious blisters and rashes. Although chafing can occur anywhere on your body, but it is more likely for you to experience it around :

●       Groin

●       Underarms

●       Nipple Area

●       Thighs

●       Toes

You must be already acquainted with chafing if you have stayed for too long in wet clothes or been a part of activities in the heat for a long time. Certain fabrics like polyester or rayon rub against the skin and become the reason for irritation and rash.

No matter what the activity, here are some tips and tricks that can help you prevent chafing.

How to Treat Chafed Areas?

●       There are a number of ointments and creams that you can apply to soothe the chafed skin. Ointments like vaseline and baby diaper rash creams have worked for some people. Using it before bedtime will help it work overnight.

●       Try ensuring that the skin of that area is not touched or rubbed.

●       Don’t use scented lotions, soaps or any other products in that area until the chafe clears up.

●       Let the cool air do its magic, you can even use an ice pack if the area is not blistered or there is no open wound.

How to treat chafed areas with creams or lotions?

●       Wash the area with an unscented cleanser, if the affected area is your thighs or groin area, then you can use a natural intimate wash to clean the area.

●     Apply an anti chafing-cream if the area is not blistered or any other choice of product.

3 Tips to Prevent Chafing

  1. Stay Dry: Remember to change out of your workout gear as soon as possible. The moisture and sweat from the clothes increases the chances of chafing. If you are more prone to sweating then use products that control sweat. For example you can use an intimate wash while bathing as it controls sweat in your groin area and this can also help in preventing sweat. Use an anti-chafing cream post-shower and you can go about your day easily.
  1.  Friction Free: Applying a thick, slippery product like an anti-chafing cream for men or women on chafe-prone areas reduces friction and prevents abrasion. Find a chafing cream that is made with natural ingredients, is long lasting and water resistant to keep you going through your daily activities.
  1. Wear the Right Clothing: Breathable fabrics like cotton for shirts, pants, dresses and even for undergarments are the best for everyday needs. Such fabrics allow the air to pass through and for the sweat and moisture to dry off without causing any friction on the skin. Seams can fold and dig into your skin. For example, bra underwire could dig into your sides and rub until redness arrives. Find an anti chafing cream for men or women that does not stain the clothes or leaves residue and you can easily move about without a worry.
