How to Treat And Prevent Chub Rub Rash

For many people, there is a level of discomfort associated with the rubbing of their thighs. In some cases, this can lead to pain and can even result in getting a blister because the chafe was so bad.

Thigh chafing is one of those things that many people are embarrassed to talk about, but I'd bet the majority of us have experienced it at least once.

Fortunately, there are things we can do to prevent thigh chafing and some things we can do to get rid of it. In this article, we are going to teach you exactly how to do it.

Let’s get started.

What is chub rub?

A chub rub rash (also known as inner-thigh chafing) is skin irritation that is caused by the friction between the thighs. This friction can be caused by tight clothing, such as jeans, exercising, moisture from sweating, or by sitting for long periods of time.

Chafed skin is most commonly caused by repetitive motions or sports that cause clothing to rub against the skin.

Chafing may also be aggravated by heat and sweat from physical activity. Dry sweat may also cause irritation because it leaves a layer of salt on the skin.

Chafing is most likely to occur on areas like the inner thighs, armpits, groin area, and under the breasts.

How to prevent chub rub

We recommend the following methods for preventing chafing:

• Make sure that you wear clothing that breathes well and wicks away moisture during exercise.
• Use anti-chafing products on skin that is prone to chafing. Their purpose is to reduce friction and heal irritation.
• Maintain proper hygiene after exercising. When you are done, you should shower to remove sweat and cool your skin.
• The best way to prevent chafing is to keep your skin dry. If you are wet or sweaty, use antiperspirants and change your clothing if possible.

How to treat chub rub

If you already have a chub rub rash, there are some things you can do to help get rid of it. Here are some of the best ways of treating chafing:

1. Use an anti-chafing gel or cream

There are several anti-chafing products on the market, but we recommend you check Trihard's Anti-Chafing Roll-On.

This product absorbs quickly into the skin, and it provides a water-resistant and sweat-resistant anti-chafing barrier.

2. Stay dry and clean

Chafed areas should be kept dry, especially in summer, since wet skin can exacerbate chafing. If you suffer from excessive sweating, apply talcum or powder to the sweaty areas. Wear loose clothing that dries quickly. Change your clothing when it gets wet or sweaty.

3. Use the right kind of clothes

Cotton clothes can absorb sweat and act as a breeding ground for bacteria so avoid them during workouts or sports. Instead, wear clothes made of natural fibers, so they don't trap moisture.

Wear compression shorts to reduce the possibility of thigh chafing. Ideally, wear athletic clothing and bras with smooth seams.
