Reviewers Call These Anti-Chafing Products 'Worth 5 Stars'

If you've ever been out for a long run—or simply a night of dancing on a hot summer night—with two thighs rubbing together, you know the pain of chafing. Red, irritated, and angry skin has a way of leaving its mark in the form of blisters, chapped skin, and even bleeding. The good news? It's all preventable with the right anti-chafing product.

Runner's thigh, underboob chafing—no matter what you call chafing, it hurts. The worst part? Chafing can quickly escalate from simple redness to blistering to bleeding if left untreated. The most common causes of chafing include simply sweating, activities with repetitive motion (e.g. running or walking), or wearing non-breathable clothing.

That means in the summer, you're facing a double whammy if you head outside for a power walk (read: high temps + working out), so you'll want to take extra precautions to thwart the delightful duo known as sweat and friction—which is why we called in the experts. Keep scrolling for anti-chafing sticks, creams, lotions, and even underwear and shorts recommended by dermatologists and users alike. Take note: There are some seriously rave reviews on the anti-chafing products ahead.
