Thigh Chafing: Causes, Prevention & How to Stop It

Thigh chafing happens when repeated skin-on-skin friction causes irritation, redness and discomfort - especially between the inner thighs. Sweat, heat, humidity, exercise and long periods of walking can make it worse.

And no, it has nothing to do with your body being the “wrong” shape. Thigh chafing can happen to anyone.

What causes thigh chafing?

The biggest culprit is friction. When your inner thighs repeatedly rub together, heat and moisture can make the skin more prone to irritation.

Common triggers include walking, running, workouts, hot and humid weather, tight clothing and sweating.

How to prevent thigh chafing

The easiest way to prevent chafing is to reduce friction before it starts.

Keep the area dry, choose breathable clothing and apply an anti-chafing stick or balm to friction-prone areas before walking, exercising or heading out for the day.
