How to Prevent Chafing: The Ultimate Guide for Every Body
The Pain of Chafing (And How to Stop It for Good)
Chafing is the worst. That stinging, burning irritation can turn a fun day into a painful experience—whether you're at the gym, traveling, or just walking around in warm weather. The good news? Chafing is completely preventable with the right strategies.
If you’re tired of dealing with painful, irritated skin, this guide will walk you through why chafing happens, the best ways to prevent it, and the one product that can keep you chafe-free all day long.
What Causes Chafing?
Chafing happens when skin rubs against skin, clothing, or gear repeatedly, causing friction. This friction, combined with sweat and heat, breaks down the skin barrier, leading to redness, irritation, and even painful sores.
The most common causes of chafing include:
✔ Skin-on-skin contact (inner thighs, underarms, etc.)
✔ Tight or rough clothing that rubs against the skin
✔ Sweat and moisture buildup that increases friction
✔ Repetitive movement from walking, running, or cycling
How to Prevent Chafing Before It Starts
Exfoliate regularly: Gently removing dead skin with an exfoliating glove (like our Glydelle exfoliator glove) helps keep your skin smooth and clear of buildup, which can reduce irritation and help your anti-chafe stick work even better.
Wear moisture-wicking clothing: Loose, breathable fabrics like nylon and spandex reduce friction and keep sweat off your skin.
Keep your skin dry: Excess moisture makes chafing worse, so staying dry is key. Some people use powders, but they wear off quickly.
Use an anti-chafe barrier:The most effective and long-lasting solution is an anti-chafe stick that provides a smooth, protective layer.
The Secret to Staying Chafe-Free All Day
While some products only work temporarily, our sweat-resistant, all-day anti-chafe stick is designed to keep your skin protected no matter what. Glide it on once and forget about chafing for the rest of the day.
