Skin Soothers

If your skin is itchy or raw from chafing, petroleum jelly is a fantastic help. It's easier to sleep when your red, inflammed skin is protected.

                       

Prevent chafing in the first place with Monistat Anti-Chafing Gel or Body Glide. I have and use the Monistat. I don't use it as much as I could, because I'm trying to get back to normal first with Vaseline. After that, I'll avoid future chafing with the Monistat. It dries quickly to a powder and leaves me feeling silky without the greasiness of petroleum jelly. It also doesn't permanently stain underwear. It's much more expensive per ounce than petroleum jelly, though.

       

Body Glide is also a well-loved product to reduce chafing. I don't have experience with it, what I've read about it has been positive. I will be buying it to compare with the Monistat and then update this section.
