It’s one of those things that people do not like to talk about. Who likes to say that the thighs rub against each other while running? But it is a problem that affects many people. By the way, not just women. And not just overweight, as is often claimed. An unfavorable position of the legs can also cause the inner thighs to lie so close together that wearing short skirts, shorts, bathing suits or bikinis can be a nuisance. In the worst case, the skin may even become sore if the friction lasts for a long time.
We have tips for you, which helps against the rubbing of the thighs. Jan Nebendahl, specialist in plastic and aesthetic surgery at the Dermatologikum in Hamburg, asked for his expert advice.
Baby powder
A simple solution may be the dusting of the thigh insides with baby powder. What prevents baby babies wounds, this is also done with Obeschenkeln, since the friction is minimized. However, if the thighs rub against each other very much, the effect does not last long. And constant Nachpudern is not only annoying, the white powder is also very quickly on.
Skin protection products from the sports sector
Dr. advises instead of baby powder. Addendum to skin protection products, which are often used in sports. These products (eg “Bodyglide” ) are applied precisely to the affected areas and prevent blistering and chafing by friction. Another advantage: The creams penetrate the skin – unlike baby powders they are thus invisible. Nevertheless, they do not affect the normal moisture regulation of the skin. Many products are also abrasion resistant and waterproof. Once applied in the morning, they hold all day.
Deodorant

Shape underwear
Yes, it does not sound very tempting to walk around in tropical temperatures with cycling shorts or underwear. But it helps! “The compression keeps the swelling back and the fibers protect the tissue from chafing”, Dr. Nebendahl. Meanwhile, there are also manufacturers such. For example, “Bandelettes” or “Haloba” , which have hold-up stockings in the program, which should protect the thighs – more or less the more attractive alternative to shape washing.
Liposuction

Liposuction can be done non-invasively, without incisions that have to heal, and either under local anesthesia or general anesthesia. Before you decide to take this step, you should first get detailed advice from a specialist. For example, the Dermatologist in Hamburg can help .
