Don't you love wearing those cute summer skirts in all kinds of colors? And at the same time hate the chafing that sometimes happens on your inner thighs? And who wants to wear nylons in the summertime? Doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose of wearing lightweight, cute summer skirts?
Well, for those of us with some curvature around the upper thigh area - especially on the inner part of our legs, ahem - here are two ideas for preventing that uncomfortable chafing and bumpiness when your thighs rub together:
1. Wear athletic shorts - like biking shorts - underneath the skirt. Nylon with spandex work best and are very lightweight. There are great styles at various stores that are light, come in different colors, and cost around $19 or less.
2. Use Body Glide! I can't recommend this more - it looks like a deodorant stick but glides right on and prevents chafing like no one's business! Many athletes use it for running or biking. It's not oily or greasy and is odorless. And - double benefit!! - it's great to put on your feet when you wear shoes that rub and create blisters.
Try it out and let us know what works for you!
