Every athletic journey has its challenges. We embrace some of these challenges as they make us stronger, while others are just a nuisance. Chafing falls in the second category.
What is Chafing and Why Does it Happen?
Chafing is a skin injury that occurs when skin repeatedly rubs against itself or against clothing. This tears the outer layer of skin, causing painful irritation to the layer below. The thighs, underarms, groin, under breasts, and nipples are the most common areas for chafing, but it can also occur on other body parts.

Fortunately, there is a simple solution to this pesky problem that turns a joyous experience into a painful suffer fest. KT Chafe Safe Balm is your shield against chafing.
