While some people think it\u2019s only sportsmen and sportswomen who suffer from chafing and blisters, there are also plenty of situations in everyday life that can result in these unpleasant symptoms. In this article, we reveal the everyday situations when you should use a <em>pjuractive<\/em> product in future to make sure you don\u2019t have any chafing in the first place.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What is chafing anyway?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The term <a href=\"https:\/\/pjuractive.com\/en\/blog\/chafing-treatment-some-chafing-remedies-runners-athletes\/\">chafing<\/a> is used to describe what happens when two patches of skin or skin and clothes rub against one another so severely that the skin becomes irritated. Sometimes, it can even result in open sores or blisters forming. Once a sore like this has formed, it is painful for days and may become swollen, inflamed, and itchy. Endurance athletes in particular frequently have to contend with the effects of chafing, and must then start by taking a break from their training for a few days. Yet chafing and blisters are something we often have to deal with in everyday life, too.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Everyday situations when chafing can occur<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15223\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15223\" style=\"width: 5173px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15223\" src=\"https:\/\/pjuractive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/shutterstock_99998579_Wundscheuern-im-Alltag_2.jpg\" alt=\"The solution to chafing and blisters\u2014pjuractive mySKIN\" width=\"5173\" height=\"3449\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pjuractive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/shutterstock_99998579_Wundscheuern-im-Alltag_2.jpg 5173w, https:\/\/pjuractive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/shutterstock_99998579_Wundscheuern-im-Alltag_2-960x640.jpg 960w, https:\/\/pjuractive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/shutterstock_99998579_Wundscheuern-im-Alltag_2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pjuractive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/shutterstock_99998579_Wundscheuern-im-Alltag_2-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/pjuractive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/shutterstock_99998579_Wundscheuern-im-Alltag_2-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 5173px) 100vw, 5173px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15223\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">shutterstock_99998579<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Many people have no idea how many situations can lead to chafing in everyday life:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The strap on your handbag:<\/strong> We women always carry one, no matter what, lugging them around with us everywhere we go\u2014our handbags. And it\u2019s not just women, either\u2014a lot of men now have shoulder bags that they take with them to meetings or to work. Depending on how long you\u2019re carrying your bag around, the strap can irritate your skin. In the worst-case scenario, this can lead to chafing as well.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Long shopping trips: <\/strong>Long shopping trips will usually last several hours, if not the whole day. So there are plenty of different parts of the body that can suffer thanks to intense rubbing. Whether it\u2019s your thighs constantly rubbing in a short skirt or shorts as you walk along, the <a href=\"https:\/\/pjuractive.com\/en\/blog\/different-types-of-shoes-and-which-ones-are-particularly-prone-to-rubbing\/\">ballerinas or sandals<\/a> you\u2019re wearing, which leave you with sore pressure marks\u2014or in the worst case even blisters\u2014on your feet, or the strap of your handbag continually rubbing against the same area of skin\u2014when you spend hours shopping, chafing is virtually inevitable.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A new pair of heels:<\/strong> It\u2019s a problem we women know all too well: put on those fantastic new heels that we\u2019ve just treated ourselves to, and you can bet we\u2019ll end up with blisters and painful pressure marks. Whether it\u2019s because the shoes are just a little tight in a few places, because they just need wearing in a little first, or because we\u2019ve simply been on our feet far too much, meaning that there are a lot of potential areas where they can chafe. The end result is usually a blister\u2014and there goes that new pair of heels for a start \u2639<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dancing all night long: <\/strong>Even though we know what will happen, we still wear our favorite high heels when we go out on the town. So when we dance the night away, our feet in particular take a real punishing\u2014and you\u2019ll be hard pushed to find any women who can make it home without any painful pressure marks, chafed skin, or blisters on their feet.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Doing the gardening: <\/strong>Chafing always occurs when we carry out the same movement over and over again. This can happen when we\u2019re gardening, too\u2014whether we\u2019re cutting the garden hedge, weeding, or mowing the lawn.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Your underwear:<\/strong> Everyone wants a <a href=\"https:\/\/pjuractive.com\/en\/blog\/cup-size-how-to-find-the-right-bra\/\">bra that fits perfectly<\/a>, and panties that are a perfect fit, too. Yet often our underwear will pinch or dig in somewhere. So when we make the same movements over and over again, even our underwear can cause sore patches. Sometimes it can be a woman\u2019s nipples that suffer from chafing, too\u2014and that can also be down to our underwear.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15227\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15227\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15227\" src=\"https:\/\/pjuractive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/shutterstock_224378902_Wundscheuern-im-Alltag_1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"633\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pjuractive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/shutterstock_224378902_Wundscheuern-im-Alltag_1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/pjuractive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/shutterstock_224378902_Wundscheuern-im-Alltag_1-960x608.jpg 960w, https:\/\/pjuractive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/shutterstock_224378902_Wundscheuern-im-Alltag_1-768x486.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15227\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">shutterstock_224378902<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><strong>The solution to chafing and blisters\u2014<em>pjuractive mySKIN<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>People have come up with some utterly absurd ways of preventing rubbing. Some swear by baby powder, others reach for shapewear if they increasingly suffer from thigh chafing, and yet others renounce high heels, short skirts, or shorts altogether. Yet these can hardly be good solutions. Here at <em>pjuractive<\/em>, we came to that conclusion ourselves, too\u2014which is why we launched our <a href=\"https:\/\/pjuractive.com\/en\/myskin\/\"><em>mySKIN<\/em><\/a>. This invisible anti-chafing gel protects the skin before rubbing even starts. It can be applied to any areas of skin\u2014wherever any of the situations above take their toll. Immediately after applying the gel, a protective film forms that prevents skin rubbing against other skin or against your clothes. So it provides protection before the chafing can even start. It also contains nourishing argan oil and natural vitamin E, is vegan and free from preservatives, and won\u2019t leave marks on your clothes. <em>mySKIN<\/em> protects from the moment it is applied and lasts for hours. So it\u2019s perfect for long shopping trips, a night out dancing, or spending time in that new pair of heels.<\/p>\n<p>Chafing and blisters shouldn\u2019t hold you back anymore.
