  • Where chafing happens most: Common areas include inner thighs, underarms, sports-bra lines, and waistbands. These zones combine friction, heat, and sweat.

Common Questions

Can tallow replace anti-chafe sticks?

It can work similarly for many users by adding a protective layer, though texture preference varies by activity and climate.

Should I use cream or balm for friction areas?

Balm is usually better pre-activity due to density, while whipped cream works well for post-activity moisture.
