I used to have this problem all the time...especially when I was a cheerleader in high school (I wasn't fat then). I used deodorant. I rub it on both inner thighs and it worked great for me! Hope you find something that works for ya!!

I should also say that whichever I use I apply right out of the shower, every day, as a preventative.

Healing an already there rash or broken skin is a whole other story.

I have the same problem and i use baby powder. Lots and Lots of baby powder. My bathroom is usually all white by the time i am done but its the only thing i can find that helps take mine away and prevent it from coming!

I get horrible Chaffing and I have found that a cocoa butter oil lotion made by Vaseline helps prevent it and feels great. Use it right after shaving to prevent bumps as well. And you can even use it before getting in the shower to shave as it will help the razor glide more smoothly and prevent irritation.

Lanacane!!! It comes in a yellow box at cvs/walmart etc. it works great on thighs, feet etc. a small pea sized dab goes far & you wont sweat through it. I put that & then for those extra humid days I put the magnolia scented johnson & johnson baby powder but only the non talc kind.

There is also a monostat anti chafing cream available that works the same but smaller bottle & more girly smell.

Lanacane has no smell, it doesnt leave a discoloration if you get on clothes.

I am a prosthetist by trade and we use it on people who have problems on their residual limbs ( stumps).

Also, anti-persperant which is different than deodorant applied to thighs the night before with a nice thick coat. And then in the next am you shower it off will help with the sweaty thighs. They also make anti-persperant sprays for amputees that work wonders but can be pricy.

Regular walmart/cvs/ grocery store anti persperant normally works for most everyone but you can ask the pharmicist to sell you the " good stuff" over the counter without rx if you need more power!

Hope this helps!

I have this issue too...it was a problem even when I was skinny. I've tried all sorts of things...balms' date=' salves, chafe glide, powder...you name it! My doc recommended Monistat Chafing Relief Powder Gel...it's worked miracles for me (really!). The only downside to this product is that it can be pricey if you use it all the time. Hope you find something that works :-)[/quote']

Totally agree with the monistat gel and then deo with baby powder as others said.

I have skinny friends who get the problem too. I think sensitive skin gets it- skin rubbing against skin or fabric against skin can cause it. Butt paste, diaper rash creams, monistat 7...they work after. But work great!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
