to think the worst part of the heatwave is the constantly sweaty (ahem) vulva?

[ChoccoBiccy66]

Yes, I have NC'd for this.

Anyone else getting irritated by constant irritation due to the heat? The sweat causes 'paper cuts' and it stings when I have a bath etc.

Roll on autumn!!!

Last week before schools broke up, I was sitting in Assembly in a lovely plastic chair. As I stood up to escort my class out, there was a massive 'sluuurrrp' as I heaved my sweaty body off the chair. Many heads swivelled in my direction I can tell you

I’m sweating everywhere. The nether and underboob are my secret pain, what I hate is sweating with it pooling off my forehead. At work. In meetings. With men. Looking like the menopausal fat bird I am.

Not good for the self esteem, which is fairly rubbish anyway!

Also I have some nice coloured cotton trousers and tops but I am having to wear navy trousers and patterned tops to hide the sweat marks, wouldn’t want to get up off my chair and look like I had wet myself

I get this. There are a couple of things that help the sweat

Complete hair removal
Cotton loose pants
Panty liner
Roll on deodorant between your legs-top of the tights, stops chafing

Undergoing sweat sucks too

Yup sweaty underboob here too! Also breastfeeding so going through breastpads at an alarming rate, not quite sure if it's mostly sweat or breastmilk making them so wet.

Going commando is the best way forward but perhaps not out in public.

I had a hysterectomy a month ago. I’m wearing jersey maxi dresses and nothing more.

Embrace it. I haven’t worn pants for weeks.

Urg, bodyglide is horrible stuff! I hated the sensation of my thighs sliding past each other, yeuch!

Might try lanacane powder. Luckily I’m going on holiday somewhere cooler, thank god!

To stop thighs rubbing together just use roll on deodorant on your thighs. I use Mitchum and that really works

Actually just thought I’d add that I had a smear test and realised I had no pants on. I was embarrassed about not not wearing any so pretended that I was wearing some and go through the motions as if I was taking them off!

Paper cuts wtf

And I can speak English. Just not type it seems...

Op (sorry to be personal!) but I think this situation is improved by having a full bush because the pubes seem to hold the sweat somehow so sweat doesn’t stay on the skin and cause rubbing. Other than that, I would suggest wearing proper knickers (not string) made out of absorbing fabric (nice multipack from M&S) and changing them a couple of times a day.

I've been wearing cotton pants and it is HORRENDOUS when I go to the loo and I see these MASSIVE sweat rings around the leg holes.

I'm pregnant so more blood and things going on in that area. It's absolutely hideous. I'm getting a bikini wax next week as the sweaty hairiness makes me feel gross.

This thread has made me realise that I am normal. Sweaty, but normal.

Might have to go commando I think.

Seems like its the norm nowadays

I HAVE FOUND MY PEOPLE!!!!!!

OP, if it persists or you get itching, please think about going to gp. There's a condition called lichen sclerosis which can cause the vulva tissue to become thinner and tear. 'Paper cuts' are how women describe it.

I have never had this problem

Sweaty, erm, crotchwww.mumsnet.com/Talk/_chat/3311742-sweaty-erm-crotch
This thread had some good tips!

Definitely worth GP if it persists. Aside from lichen sclerosis as mentioned, thrush can cause ulcers that would sting. I'm still not sure if I had it or not but I took the flucanazole tablet (bought over counter) as I reacted to canestan and three days later am much better.

I'm fat and recommend cotton pants, linen trousers or cotton short leggings (£2 in Primark) under dresses. No chub rub, no visible sweat.

Fem fresh- that’s your friend- happens once you hit a certain age!

Please don't use talc around your genitals! There is research linking it, albeit tentatively, to ovarian cancer
