Listen to Story Amy Schumer never fails to keep it real, especially when she's talking about her body. In 2016, while other celebs were striving to put their best fashion foot forward for the Met Gala, Amy Schumer was keeping it practical. She was giving out some practical summer hacks to prevent thigh chafing.
Anyone with slightly thick thighs knows exactly what we are talking about. Thanks to the scorching summer heat, sweat and continuous friction of the inner thighs, thigh chafing becomes every thick woman's nightmare. Welcome to the world of thick women and men too, because guess what, even they silently deal with the condition but are scared to speak about the same.
Probably, many won’t even be able to relate to the discomfort, pain, and the problem, but it’s a condition that people should know of. Dr Priyanka Suhag, consultant, department of obstetrics and gynaecology, CK Birla Hospital, Delhi, describes thigh chafing as, “An irritation of the skin on the inner thighs caused by friction. This often leads to redness, pain, and sometimes blisters.
It commonly occurs when the thighs rub together during physical activities like walking, running, or exercising.” Sweat exacerbates the problem and people often refer to it as “chub rub”. Walking or any activity that involves a lot of movement can become uncomfortable during this condition as it aggravates the pain further.
And guess what, inner thigh chafing can also make women say goodbye to their favourite denim .
