The 5 Anti-Chafe Products We Swear By As Sweaty Gals With Thick Thighs And Boobs
Suns out, buns ouch.
by The Candidly Team
Ugh, it’s hot. Angry hot. Gluey hot.
So hot that our brains are failing to think of a remotely clever way to start this article other than to say that we hate chafing. HATE it!
The stinging. The sweating. The feeling that our own fiery flesh has betrayed us.
Heat has such a lovely way of making us physically aware of every fold on our bodies, every sliver of skin that brushes against another. But this summer, we were determined to fix this.
We found five very specific things to eliminate our sticky, sweaty, rashy suffering. Each one solves a different problem. And chafing? We hardly know her.
1. The Cooling Summer Shorts That Smooth You All Over
WHAT: Thigh Society The Cooling Anti-Chafe Slip Short Underwear*
This is the most breathable, cooling, nothing-like undergarment we’ve ever worn, so the fact that it keeps us nice and smooth and free of panty lines is just a giant swirl of icing on the cake. We live in them all summer, packing multiple pairs on vacation. They come in 3 lengths so we can choose our level of coverage, even wearing the 5” under not-too-short shorts and our miniest dresses. How we survived the months of June - October without these before, we really do not know.
Oh, and it sizes up to 2X.
Price: $39
2. The Tried And True Remedy For Thigh Chafe
WHAT: Monistat Chafing Relief Powder Gel*
It’s not the sexiest looking product, but the formula is foolproof. The non-greasy gel evaporates into the skin and creates the softest, glassiest barrier that doesn’t stain your clothes or leave any sort of smell or residue. It’s just good, clean, gliding protection.
Price: $8
3. The Miracle Spray For Underboobs And Other Sweaty Bits
WHAT: Megababe Bust Dust*
Ahh, to be able to banish underboob sweat via a sprayable powder that’s so fine it feels more like a silky mist. The non-aerosol top means we can apply it precisely where we need it most with no mess. It’s free of talc, aluminum, phthalates, and parabens and boasts glowing reviews.
However, if you’re more of a stick-applicator kinda gal, we also love THIS* roll-on formula, which works to prevent boob, thigh, and anywhere else chafe.
Megababe generally makes sort of brilliant, problem-solving skincare products for women. This is a tangent but we started off using their no-rinse, Quick Shave stick* which helps us catch those last minute spots we missed shaving with zero water. Needless to say, we’re never without it in the summer.
Price: $16
4. The Only Bearable Bra In The Heat That Weighs Nothing But Lifts The Ladies
WHAT: Barely Zero Anchored Cup Strap Bra*
We have written entire articles about the wonders of this bra. It’s weightless. It’s wireless. It feels like air itself, and yet, it hoists up the gals and gives them really gorgeous, round shape. It’s the bra we tell every woman we hold dear to buy for summer, but we also wear it ourselves pretty much every day of the year.
Price: $39
5.The Blister Preventer
WHAT: Megababe Blister & Heel Rescue*
We didn’t know something like this existed, and now that we do, we’re never looking back. Whether breaking in new sandals or embarking on a long hike, this little protectant has eliminated friction and foot pain and kept our feet free of blisters.
Price: $10
