My scrub pants are killing me!

[Elizabeth Renee]

Me and scrub pants just don't get along it seems. :/

It seems no matter what brand of scrub pants I buy, they hurt the hell out of my inner thighs. I just think that because they inevitably fit more relaxed, the material just rubs against them (I guess). It is at the point now where my skin is red, patchy, irritated, occassionally itchy and won't go away.

My only solution is to buy some thin leggings to wear underneath. What could I buy OTC to help my skin heal well?

Has anyone else had this problem?

^^ Second that ^^

Oh yeah, that stuff is awesome! Actually wish wound care staff would look into using it between skin folds, esp on our "fluffier" pts -- it really decreases friction and discomfort where skin can rub against skin. (oh yeah, I heard a lot of women also use it as a foundation primer)

I've used it as foundation primer too and it does work great :-) I've bought some primer from Avon and the monistat is actually better.

By the feminine products (monostat, lubricants etc) there is one company who makes an anti-chaffing gel. It's amazing.
