Hello
ladies darlings!
This is my first post, and I hope the collective knowledge of you lovely
ladies fatshionistas will guide me in the right direction.
I've looked through the tags and memories regarding the dreaded "chub rub" but haven't exactly found what I'm looking for. But it is that season again, where warmth+humidity+chafing=not fun things.
So what I'm looking for is actual chub rub
cures. I've seen some extremely helpful posts on preventative measures, but not much on actually curing what ails us. And sometimes, it happens to me while wearing regular pants, or things that fit properly and all that - it's not just a skirt-wearing thing, but it does make my skirt-wearing fun a little less fun - sad. So, on to cures. As in,
once you already have some significant damage going on down there, what do you do to treat it? (Cause you know, I'm not asking because it's happened to me really really recently, like, today, no, not at all! ;-) )
A fellow fatshionista recommended to me diaper rash cream (with zinc oxide), so I pretty much immediately winced and waddled my way down to CVS to pick some up. It seems to be soothing enough right now (plus I mixed in a little Neosporin, just for an extra kick, and covered it with gauze to prevent even more rubbage while I'm laying around the house tonight), but I'm just wondering what everyone else uses or does to care for that tender inner-thigh flesh.
Thoughts?
EDIT: I apologize for my lack of gender-neutrality. It was late, I was exhausted, and in some significant pain, and am still rather "new" to said idea. Please to be forgiving? I promise to be better in the future. :-)
Thanks for all the wonderful advice thus far! :-D
