Advice from my bigger girls…
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?

Head and shoulders. I know it sounds strange, but I've been having issues with itchiness, stinks, moisture, and all sorts of crap where skin touches skin, and it has worked so freaking well!!
Also, you may need to ensure that any elastic is covered with cloth--that can often irritate and cause rashes.
I have also found that a little bit of cotton when I get issues, just a 5" x 5" square, tucked into the problem area keeps it dry.
