I don't know about you but I was not blessed with long skinny legs. I was blessed with short, let's call them muscular, legs. When I walk, my legs touch. In the winter when I wear pants or tights all the time, it's not really such a big deal other than a little extra wear in the area where they touch. In the summer though, I like to wear dresses without tights or nylons. This means that my skin can get just a little raw at the end of a long day of walking around.
Then someone told me about this:
Simply put, this is a life changer! I knew about things like this that are primarily used by athletes and I had tried one kind a long time ago. But, I found that it really wasn't much help for me. Oddly enough, those knids all pretty much sweated away and were useless after a couple of hours. Then someone told me that Gold Bond had come out with a new product and I saw it in the drug store one day and decided to give it a shot. It was under $8 and it looks and works just like a deoderant. You glide it on your skin where needed and go about your day. It forms this protective barrier that reduces friction when your skin rubs together. You can also use it on areas where your skin rubs against fabric and gets irritated.
This stuff really does work all day! I used it the day of Operation Cupcake when I was walking around all day in a dress and I had no irritation all day long.
I would guess I'll have to buy one more stick of this about half way through this summer if I continue to use it on a regular basis. But, $16 for a summer free of irritation (at least of this kind) is totally worth it!

I am totally getting that. Last summer I resorted to wearing bike shorts under my skirts, but this would be more comfortable.
