I know you wrote this a while ago, but I found a link when I was looking up the Relief gel to find cheaper prices and I had to say I love this stuff. It has really changed my entire summer wardrobe. It is a staple in my purse all summer long.

That sounds pretty fabulous, and I might have to give it a try, but I have a product I use for the thigh situation as well -- Body Glide. I run, and have, uh, athletic thighs, which of course rub together when running or just wearing a skirt or dress. Body Glide works perfectly, AND it works on the feet for shoes that rub, although I'd bet your fabulous find would work for the footsies, too!

Monistat® Soothing Care™ Chafing Relief Powder-Gel – like buttah

Earlier this year, I attended a gathering for Mom-bloggers called Camp Baby, put on by the fine folks at Johnson and Johnson. Our final morning, we were treated to a
sample-a-thon from many of the brands that we’d learned about during the
presentations the previous day. Armed with an envirosac and the promise that J&J would pay to ship home any goodies, I hit the tables with a vengeance.

While other ladies gathered around the hair-care and tooth-care displays, I was sidled up to the table with all the products for your delicate lady-parts. It goes back to my love of action cosmetics, you see. I was all – ooh, heats up? Cools down? Soothes? Oooooooh!

I grabbed some massage oil and personal lubricant that was supposed to heat up or throw sparks or twinkle or something. (Major disappointment, by the way.)

I thought my excitement couldn’t be topped when I scored a bunch of Tucks® Medicated Pads. After birthing three kids with heads the size of cannon balls and assorted other indignities (What’s going on down there? Whoa!) I’m not even remotely embarrassed to proclaim my love for the Tucks. I’ve been known to keep ‘em in the fridge. I mean, okay, I still like to purchase the mondo 100 pad size through a mail order service so I don’t have to stare down the cashier at the drug store, but I like me some Witch Hazel soaked pads sometimes, and I’m not afraid to share it here on
Beauty Hacks.

Yeah, I thought I had totally scored, until I moved along to the next table and grabbed myself a little purple and blue box of
Monistat® Soothing Care™ Chafing Relief Powder-Gel. “Ooh,” I thought. “Ooh.”

Even at my thinnest weight, my upper thighs have always been friendly with one another. I favor cute skirts and dresses over wearing shorts, which always want to climb up where they should not go, thanks to the magical gripping power of my upper thighs or pants, which are not the best option for hot days. After the above-mentioned cannon-ball-headed kids and not losing all the weight I gained and progressing into the middle of my third decade, my upper thighs are basically inseparable.

I suppose I should get with the Spanx revolution. My experiments with baby powder and corn
starch have been less than successful at keeping the chafing at bay. Rather than throwing in the towel and resigning myself to a life encased in spandex blend underpinnings, I gripped
that box and threw it in my swelling bag of samples. Because nothing is better than free products – except for free embarrassing products.

Once my shipment of products arrived, I put my bounty in the bathroom, and began to experiment with the different products. The Chafing Relief Powder-Gel got pushed to
the back of the stack, and it wasn’t until mid-summer when I unearthed it. With a one hundred degree weekend ahead, and a closet full of sundresses, I decided to give it a road test.

The gel goes on with a very silky texture, and quickly dries to a powdery smooth finish. Impressed
by the results, I pranced around in the heat of the day for a good 8 hours with no chafing to speak of. Coupled with my Jiggle Gel, I was feeling pretty awesome.
Best of all, it didn’t leave any white powdery mess on my clothing, and didn’t cause me to break out into any rashes – and with sensitive skin, plus a new product, plus heat, plus friction – that’s saying something.

Back at home, I decided to see what other uses could be devised for this miraculous Powder-Gel.

Oh, internets! You never let me down.

Apparently, you can use Soothing Care™
Chafing Relief Powder-Gel as a primer for your face, before applying your foundation, and it creates a silky smooth finish to your skin which makes your foundation work even better. The active ingredient in Soothing Care™ Chafing Relief Powder-Gel is Dimethicone 1.2%, which is the same thing found in Smashbox’s $36 Photofinish foundation primer.

Can you just seem me striding up to the counter at the local drug store with my 100 pack of Tucks®, my tube of Monistat Soothing Care™ Chafing Relief Powder-Gel and a tube of hemorrhoid cream (which apparently works wonders on under-eye swelling) and being all – "oh, this is all for my face!" I think I’ll stick with ordering these beauty hacks from an online retailer.

Monistat Soothing Care™ Chafing Relief Powder-Gel retails for about $7 for a 1.5 oz tube.
