If you’re new to anti-chafing underwear you may be wondering what it is and how to wear it. There are products – such as shapewear or bike shorts – that can get confused with true anti-chafing garments. At the same time, not all anti-chafing products can replace your everyday underwear, be they panties, jocks, or boxer briefs. Luckily, we’ve got the answers to your questions about anti-chafing underwear!

What is the best underwear to prevent chafing?

Wondering what kind of underwear prevents chafing? The best underwear to prevent chafing is undergarments specifically designed for this purpose. Anti-chafing undergarments such as Bandelettes unisex thigh bands can be worn along with any type of men or women’s underwear.

If you don’t choose specifically designed underwear, then choose underwear fabrics that don’t rub and that reduce sweat. The best type of men’s underwear to prevent chafing is boxer briefs. Boxer briefs stay close to the skin with enough length to protect the inner thighs. But, men may also enjoy wearing our men’s thigh bands when doing exercise such as running that causes friction between the thighs.

For both men and women, it’s important to choose anti-chafe underwear that uses a moisture-wicking fabric. This means that as soon as the sweat touches it, the wetness is pulled away from the skin and it evaporates. Many women’s lingerie styles are sexy and stylish, but not practical. For a sexy look, team you standard underwear with lacey Bandelettes® Thigh Bands!

Can underwear make you chafe?

Yes! Choosing the wrong underwear can cause chafing. Underwear can often be the main cause of chafing on the upper-inner thigh and around the groin and buttocks. Underwear that is either too loose or too tight will often cause chafing. Bulky seams and complicated designs or uncomfortable fabrics can also be to blame.

Is Bandelettes® underwear?
