Get the Most Out of Summer with Monistat

Disclosure We received a sample of the product to facilitate our post. All opinions are our own.

I love being active and outdoors in the summer. From days at the beach to attending summer concerts and exploring on day trips, I always have plenty of fun activities to choose from. I really enjoy exploring my own city: casual brunches with friends, street fairs and outdoor performances, new shops and things to see.

Although very walkable, on days when the humidity in New York City surges and I’m wearing a short skirt, summer dress, or even short shorts, chafing can spoil the day. That dreaded rubbing between the thighs certainly puts a damper on the perfect summer afternoon of exploration.

To combat this issue, I’ve tried a few things, including using baby powder before I head out the door. While providing a temporary solution, it can get a bit messy, and proves difficult to carry around throughout the day.

I was so excited to discover Monistat™ Complete Care™ Chafing Relief Powder Gel®, which creates a protective barrier on the skin, providing daily prevention against painful chafing and irritation. A friend introduced me to the product last year when she was pregnant in the heat of August, and found that she rubbed in all sorts of areas that never rubbed on her petite frame before! She’d slip the Chafing Gel discretely in her purse and it kept her comfortable all day long.

The gel works like a charm. Very easy to apply, it dries to a silky finish that forms a breathable moisture control barrier tough enough to fight friction head-on! I love that you can have on-hand to use on the go, without worrying about powder flying everywhere!

I put Monistat Complete Care Chafing Relief Powder Gel to the test on a 94-degree day in New York City, where I walked about 40 blocks throughout my Saturday adventures. I stayed cool and irritation-free, even in a pair of short shorts that left me susceptible to the dreaded chafe!

Given the temperatures we’re seeing this July, I feel confident that I will have Monistat Complete Care Chafing Relief Powder Gel on hand as a tool to combat potential discomfort! Find yours in the feminine hygiene aisle at most mass merchandisers and drug stores throughout the United States.
