A problem for many women, especially in summer: skirts and dresses let air into the skin - but at the same time there are irritated areas between the thighs.
- In summer, dresses and skirts can be taken out of the winter box.
- But many women are familiar with the phenomenon: heat and thighs rubbing against each other can cause the skin between the legs to become irritated or, even worse, sore spots to form.
- With a few simple tricks you can prevent this from happening.
A summer city trip or long shopping tours in airy clothes: What sounds like a relaxed pastime can result in painful areas between the thighs at the end of the day. Are you one of those women who have very slim legs? Then you probably don't know the problem. Those who count themselves among the women with feminine curves, on the other hand, will think more often in summer about what can be done about the unpleasant chafing between the legs . We have put together a few tips that will solve the problem.
Are your thighs rubbing against each other? What now helps
To avoid sore thighs and to emulate the "Toblerone tunnel *" beauty trend, there are actually women who go under the knife. But there are far healthier - and cheaper - ways that make chafing thighs a thing of the past :
- Baby powder between the legs : Baby powder can be bought cheaply in drugstores and supermarkets. Applied to the inside of the thighs, it prevents short-term unpleasant chafing and also absorbs sweat. However, this method is not suitable for long walks because the powder rubs off again relatively quickly.
- Use deodorant roller : Deodorant should ensure that the skin on the thighs sweat less and therefore cannot rub against each other as much. Deodorant rollers that leave a cream-like film on the skin are particularly suitable for preventing thighs rubbing against each other.
- Vaseline on the skin : Vaseline has a similar effect - if the skin rubs against one another, it slides more easily despite contact, which prevents rubbing. Silicone-based lubricant also reduces friction.
