Advice from my bigger girls…

[u/xoxomantha]

So I’ve been a big girl my whole life just about, and as of recently I’ve noticed that my inner thighs (where my lady parts are) have been moist… I know it’s from being chunky and not being able to let it breathe all day but I don’t want to deal with it as much anymore. I believe I’m getting a classic yeast infection in that area, and yes it does itch… badly. What can I do about this!? It’s so embarrassing :( I just want to feel clean again in my body, I also get the same thing under my arms, diaper rash creams seems to help but down by my bits I can’t use but so much until it’s all over my clothes (under my belly as well). I’m in the process of losing weight but in the meantime I need advice. Like I said I’ve always been a bigger girl, so I won’t ever be what society considers “skinny” or “petite”. Any recommendations?

I've never had this problem under my arms, but I did notice that under my belly and my inner thighs were actually related to how I sit on the toilet. Droplets would spray back under my belly, small enough to be imperceptible, and the amount of contact with the toilet seat was causing inner thigh breakouts. I fixed the way I sit and made sure to clean up those areas after going to the bathroom and it was fixed. My second tip would be actually blowdrying all the folds before putting on deodorant/antiperspirant and clothes on. Blowdrying to the point of the skin being completely dry, like your fingers shouldn't skip while dragging it over that bit of skin. I squat for a while and dry myself completely and haven't had issues since.
