This helped reduce body odor and chaffing.

Hope this will help you Mermaid and Mystic!

Thank you so much for this tip. I just bottle a big bottle of it and a smaller bottle with a foam pump. For the first time in my life, I got a huge infection in my armpits. They never tested it, but it might have been staph, because the second course of antibiotic best for staph helped heal it about 90%. I'm hoping this clears up the last bit and gives me the overall help you've shared.

Just wanted to say thank you, Southern Star! I'll look into picking this up. Now that we're in full blown summer, I think it would help. I think it might help my fiance, too. Most antiperspirants will cause his skin to break out, so this may be a better alternative for him. Great idea!

SouthernStar for the information. Much appreciated. :)

Thanks Southernstar. I just happen to have some at home and will try it.

Thanks for sharing!

I would also mention Body Glide, which even skinny people use on places that chafe, like for runners and such. It also helps alleviate some of the symptoms you mentioned.

I used to get chaffing and end up with painful red skin under my belly, breasts, and leg folds. I tried powers and other remedies with mediocre results. Then I found a product called Hibiclens. Its a antimicrobial skin cleaner. Often used before surgeries to clean skin and kill bacteria. The first time I used it I was in the middle of a yeast infection in my skin folds from taking antibiotics. I could not get it under control for a few weeks. I started using Hibiclens and was 90% better in a few days and it was gone and healed within a week.

I use it 3-4 times a week under my belly fold, under breasts, and in the creases of where my legs meet my body. I wash with regular soap rinse then apply Hibiclens and let it sit a few minutes and rinse. I also put it under my armpits daily and it eliminates the odor to the point I don't have to wear deodorant. I guess it kills the odor causing bacteria. I have been using it around 6 months and haven't had one skin issue. Which before I was getting chaffing or some type of irritation at least monthly.

Its a thin type liquid so I put it in a foaming soap dispenser. You can find it at Walmart, pharmacies, or Amazon. Some people have a reaction to it so I recommend testing it someplace else first. I have had no issues at all and feel so much cleaner. I don't get that musky smell under my belly or other places anymore. I wanted to tell everyone incase you have some of these issues. Its changed my life. I no longer worry about crazy skin problems in my skin folds anymore.
