Somewhere in my research I found a cream/lotion for thighs that rub together and chafe. Unfortunately I can't find it anywhere and I don't remember what the cream was called
Does anyone have any tips or know the name of the cream?
Wearing thin bike shorts, or a compression type short, underneath your regular clothing, helps as well. I have bought several pairs--the most recent is Hanes, and they're awesome! Not hot at all, stay in place and don't ride up, and really do the anti-chafing trick!! I wear them under dresses and loose fitting shorts and they are great!!
You can find this at most drug stores, in the "feminine product" section. Body Glide can be harder to find for some folks (it's mostly found at sporting goods stores).
There is also one by Lanacane. It's the same thing, but it's found in the blister/bandaid area.
This stuff is wonderful and dries to a satiny-powdery feel.
It seems expensive, but you really only need a tiny bit-- maybe a pea sized amount.
Personally, I don't understand the Body Glide. I bought it for our first trip and tried it out on my feet. It was so sticky I had to wipe it off, and switch shoes and I was still uncomfortable. Fortunately I hadn't tried it on my thighs or I would have been going out of my mind.
I second the bike shorts over creams. I wear compression shorts from under armour, and they are a LIFE SAVER!!! I wear dresses all the time and can't live without my shorts!
Bodyglide,I swear by it.Whenever I went to a waterpark or the beach walking around all day in wet trunks was automatic chafing,like 100% chance of getting it,also when running or walking all day on hot days where you sweat a lot could cause some chafing.Since I first heard about Bodyglide I use it in any of these situations and not once have I gotten chafing after using it.
Another fan of Body Glide. I used to be able to pick it up our local Dick's Sporting Goods, but they discontinued it and now stock the Mission brand antichafing cream, which is not near as good and takes twice as much. So I now order it from Amazon.
If you're in a bind, Mennan's speed stick works to reduce chafing. Personally, I go for bike shorts under my clothes - the little cheap cotton kind do fine for me. I've also discovered that I can cut the legs off a pair of thin tights and they'll do the trick as well.
