it’s so sore that i have been walking around like a penguin

[Hismessenger]

Literally.. a remedy in 2 days...

Wash. Dry throughly. Slap petroleum jelly in the spot of pain... sleep naked. Same routine in the morning with wash, dry, and apply jelly before work or working out and you barely notice it.

im suffering this rn and this time its alot worst my skin legit looks like raw meat you buy in a store

[donovandavie]

I’ve tried it all Powders, Vaseline and Creams the product I swear by is “Gold Bond Friction Defense”….A+

[fashionbug]

I always find that I sweat off any powder, cream, deodorant, etc. that I apply. The only thing I've found that works are tights that I've cut to be above my knee. I just buy ones in my skin color so it's not obvious if they're seen, and they somehow don't have frayed edges or runs or anything and I've used and washed them 30+ times.

I be having them burns and scabs on my inner thighs. Won't be walking for a few says.

I went to a dermatologist and she recommended Elta MD Intense moisturizer.. that is the key to life, my friends. Unfortunately I cannot live without it.. until I’m back to maybe 10% body fat..

[KaoruSugimura]

Hmm, maybe I will just stick to my original idea: duct tape all the areas that chaff. Simple and cheap. Better than using an oil that can bleed through clothes or a powder that doesn't last long.

IM A MAN WHO SQUATS HEAVY HELP ME 😭😭😭😭 HAVING THUNDER THIGHS IS A CURSE IN SUMMER HEAT

[comedianmalyka]

Omg i started working out and i cant get ozut of bed cuz of the pain!

[happybuddy]

It's freaking painful if we you have experienced it

[FriendlyNeighborhoodStudent]

Petroleum jelly ain’t gonna cut it! Especially body glide, the ingredients are known to cause irritation or some kind of allergic reaction, most of them have alcohol in them too, Manbutter from Drymen products is it! I’m telling you, only 6 ingredients and all natural

[erick.a]

I ran 10 miles took a shower worse pain I’ve felt i think i burned my skin off 💀

[wildcatslife]
