Anti-Chafing Leg Garment

Abstract

An anti-chafing, anti-abrasion garment device is described. The device is configured to be worn between the thighs of a user, providing a buffer from skin-to-skin contact that can occur between the user's legs during movement. The garment device, when worn properly, is configured to adequately help protect the user from erythema, edema, chafing, and irritated skin which can commonly occur during walking, running, and jogging. The device is envisioned to remove the need to employ anti-chafing creams or other topical products on the inner thighs in order to prevent skin irritations and rashes.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is an anti-chafing garment designed to be worn on the thighs to prevent skin contact and decrease the risk of chafing, rashes, and erythema. This is useful for anyone who wears skirts or dresses that rub against the thighs, or during warm to hot weather when humidity is high. The garment is positioned between the thighs and is designed to provide optimal skin integrity.

Problems solved by technology

Commonly, people may develop skin rashes and irritation between the thighs during or after walking.

Unfortunately, this can lead to erythema, edema, and chafing, as well as conventional rashes to develop between the thighs, bringing discomfort to the individual.

Unfortunately, this method of chafe prevention can quickly become expensive as these products such as Monistat Gel Powder™, SportSlick™, Hydropel™, and Monkey Butt Powder™, range from $6.00 to $17.00 and may require frequent purchase with continuous use in order to remain effective.

Presently there are few products on the market that attempt to address this issue.

However, one review indicated that “they became a bit rough after washing.” Unfortunately, many lace products are not designed to remain in good condition after multiple washes and wears, as some lace items may become more abrasive after washing, potentially causing additional skin irritation when worn subsequent times.

All lace rough and doesn't provide a smooth passing of the thighs.
