In the summer, people often wear light clothes. It often brings with it a nasty problem: inner thighs that rub against each other.
Grab our best tips here for the annoying trouble.
1. Cycling shorts
Cycling shorts that come far enough are a great solution to this common problem. When bare thighs can’t rub, chafing can’t form.
2. Shapely long-legged underpants
Today, there are many different models of shaping underwear. Long-legged underpants help with chafing inner thighs.
3. Deodorant
If you don’t have the desire or opportunity to wear cycling shorts or long-legged underwear under your clothes, you can try deodorant. Deodorant helps with sweaty armpits and it does the same for sweaty thighs. Deodorant also prevents the formation of friction for a while. You should remember to take this helper with you in your handbag, because the effect is not very long-lasting.
4. Powdered deodorant or talc
Powder deodorants are also available today. They also help with the problem of limping thighs. You can also get the same end result with talcum powder.
5. Oil
If the skin of the thighs is well moisturized, it will not rub as easily. Oils in particular are perfect for this task, as they keep the thighs moisturized for longer than a regular moisturizer.
6. Lubricant
There are many types of lubricant and it can also be used to prevent thighs from rubbing together.
