What is Vaginal Chafing?

Chafing can happen when there is repeated friction of skin to a specific area. Chafed skin is typically red, irritated, and has a stinging sensation, but in extreme cases can even mean swelling, blisters, or bleeding. Vaginal chafing, or vulva chafing, can happen a few different ways.

Vaginal Chafing Causes

  • Sweat in conjunction with friction is the number one cause of chafing issues. If you are doing a lot of walking on a hot day and don’t have sweat absorbent clothes/underwear, you might suffer from vulva chafing. The action of wet underwear rubbing where your thighs meet the vulva can cause chafing, especially for an extended period of time. The skin in that area is extremely sensitive and it doesn’t take much to irritate it.
  • Sex is another common reason for vulva chafing. Any prolonged rubbing and friction can potentially cause chafing, especially in such a sensitive area.

How to Prevent Vaginal Chafing

Proper Exercise Clothing

Because sweat is the enemy when it comes to chafing, a great way to combat that is by having the right kind of clothes on when you’re sweating. That means dry fit pants, a non-synthetic material for your underwear, and something loose-fitting to help the area breathe.

Keep Some Pubic Hair

If you suffer from repeated vulva chafing, you may want to consider keeping more of your pubic hair, which creates an absorbent and  protective layer.

Keeping it Clean & Dry

If you’re not going to be home all day and are worried about chafing becoming an issue, it’s important to keep the vaginal area clean and dry throughout the day. Carrying around refreshing cleansing wipes to use throughout the day to stay fresh and not dry the skin out, which helps to keep chafing at bay.
