annoying pregnancy symptom - chafing!

[bumpcarrier]

Has anyone had chafing between their thighs? I am 24wks + 5 and started getting it recently. It is really uncomfortable! I am using sudocream but does anyone have any better suggestions?

You do get an anti chafing cream at pharmacies..its called Lanacane and it works well.

hth :)

I used to pop deoderant on the chafey bits, stand like a cowboy until it dried and then go about my business. Worked surprisingly well!

I wore leggings under everything. Well, maybe not my swimsuit.

I also slathered vaseline all over the offending area. Kept a pot in my bag for emergencies.

I used to get this quite a lot jsut from being fat!!! I strongly recommend johnstons nappy rash cream. it isn't too sticky and still lets you sweat (classy!). i'd put it on before you walk anywhere to prevent extra chafing but it also works wonders for healing at nighttime!

I got it a couple of weeks ago and nothing that i used helped. I tried Sudocrem, Talc, deodorant, some cleansing cream i got from the doctor! it was soooo annoying! its on the verge of dissapearing now and im soo glad!!!

Yep chaffing here too! Tried Sudacreme but it made it worse i think as clothes got stuck to it and it didn't wash off easily. I now talc after showering to make sure everything is bone dry. If it flares up through the day I rub some baby oil in.

I've also started wearing DHs boxer shorts as the come a bit further down my legs than my grannie pants.

Don't get me started about the itch that comes after the chaffing.....

There is a product called Bodyglide that runners use to stop their clothes & body parts chaffing on long distance runs - might be worth a try.
