Why do thighs rub together in summer?
Contrary to popular belief, chafing between the thighs is not only due to weight or size, but also to body shape and different skin types. It should be noted that approximately 60% of the female population suffers from thigh chafing, and men can also suffer from it. This chafing can be very painful, especially in summer with the heat and sweat.
