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!!

Just got my skindura anti chaf stick and used it today. First time I have ever worn a skirt and walked around comfortably.

I always wear light control girdles - they are like bike shorts in beige. I never have a problem walkin with them.

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!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
