Summer is here, Fly Friends, but chafing is a year-long battle! I definitely feel that chafing gets more real in the summer. The combination of sweat and friction is what a good chafe thrives on. I’ve put together a roundup of chafing solutions, items that prevent or soothe chafed skin. Or both! These items are tried and true by the plus size community’s standards, and I make sure to include reviews so that you can find the product that works best for you. Chafing happens to everyone, and not just between the thighs. You can use these products on arms, legs, or wherever you feel the burn. You deserve to be comfortable!

1. Slip Shorts – Chafing Solutions

LINKED HERE $14 | Up to Size 34

“The best thing you will ever buy for chub rub comfort. They are essentially made from Snag’s tight material which means you can comfortably wear your knickers underneath. I wouldn’t wear a dress or skirt without them! Love them, Love Snag!”

I love the Stay Cool Chub Rub Shorts from Snag! The yarn has been designed to be super breathable and transfer body heat very quickly to keep your body temperature comfortable no matter how hot it is outside. The fabric is moisture-wicking, super-soft, and lightweight with lots of stretch. These shorts come in tons of different colors and are only $14!

2. Megababe Thigh Rescue

LINKED HERE $14

“My family and I just went on a trip to Mexico, and this product indeed rescued all of us! My young son AND adult husband got chafed by their new board shorts and beach sand.. and this product saved them, and worked wonders overnight. I was worried my son would be ruined for the trip, but the thigh rescue cleared his rash and he was good to go for the rest of the trip. For myself, walking in the heat, salty water, and wet climate would have been painful without this little magic stick. I only had to apply a couple of times throughout the day, the results were lasting, comfortable, and nice healthy skin. Thanks, MegaBabe!”

If you’re not into slip shorts and want to go bare-legged, you HAVE to try the Megababe thigh rescue stick! I do not know a single person who has used this miracle product and not loved it. As the review states, you can use this product and reapply throughout the day to prevent chafing, but you can also use it to soothe chafing after it strikes!

3. Body Glide Chafing Solutions

ANTI-CHAFE BALM $11 | ANTI-FRICTION CREAM $10

Chafe Balm Review: “Omg this stuff is the best! I am a chubby girl and I recently went to Thailand where it was 90° with 70% humidity every single day I was there. This stuff got me through! I was able to wear dresses and shorts with no chafing! And I only ever had to apply in the morning and once in the middle of the day! My life is forever changed I’ve already ordered two more!”

Friction Cream Review: “This stuff is magical. If any part of your body rubs against another part of your body – check this stuff out. Not exaggerating. It’s effective the NEXT DAY if you don’t shower. Beat the chub rub. Seriously, this is the best chafing cream I’ve ever encountered. I’ve walked all day wearing a dress with and without it. With – it’s a lovely day for a stroll. Without – my thighs hate me by the end of the day because I’ve got thunder thighs and they do not have a thigh gap unless I’m standing askance like some kind of surly cowboy.”

Choose your fighter! If you like more of a lotion-type application, go with the anti-friction cream, if you’re on the go and need something quick, go with the anti-chafing balm. The balm can also be used as a soothing product for already irritated skin.

4. Body Dust Chafing Prevention

LINKED HERE | $38 for dust & puff

“I love my puff & powder! The powder is so fine and doesn’t clump if I’m still damp when I put it on! The puff is great! It’s so soft & fluffy! When I was a little girl I had an Avon Ice cream cone. The “cone” held powder & the “ice cream” was the puff. I have very fond memories of it! Dust Duo will leave me with the same great memories!”

This review is so cute! This product is amazing for chafe prevention. Chafing is most likely to occur when sweat and friction meet, so sweat prevention is a great first step to avoiding chafing. I love this product because you can very clearly use it for more than your thighs. You can dust your whole body with this XL dust puff. That means no irritation under the bust, behind the knees, inside the elbows, or any other cute crevasses!

5. Monistat Chafing Relief

LINKED HERE $6

“GIRL WITH CHUB RUB, LOOK NO FURTHER. THOSE CUTE SHORTS? WEAR EM. THAT CUTE DRESS. PUT THAT ISH ON. Wore this with my bikini in Florida for three days, only reapplies 1-2 times a day, and had minimal chaffing (mostly due to sand, which can’t be helped sadly). But it wasn’t bad, nor did it cause me any real pain like chaffing normally does. I plan on getting this when I go to California in June to get the same use! Love love love! PS- I have suuuuuper sensitive skin and had no breakouts or suspect rashes using this”

My sensitive skin babes, this is the product for you! I have sworn by this product for years. This is another product that can both prevent chafing and give much-needed relief to already irritated skin. Check out the reviews for yourself, there are so many plus size babes with sensitive skin who rave about this product!

6. conditionHER
