It helps with shaving bumpbs? I have really sensative skin, i cant shave my kitten at all without breaking out horribly!. My legs dont break out QUITE as much but i couldnt shave on the playa at all becasue i didnt have enough water to soak them in for 10 minutes. Any tips on shaving out there with sensative skin?

I highly recommend not bothering. Of course, I have very pale body hair so it's not that noticeable, but on the whole, I don't think anybody gives a shit whether you get stubbly. If you get a precious shower, wash your hair! I've never shaved on the playa (even though I do in real life)

invest in a good razor. I have been in situations where I was forced to use a shitty, disposable, woman's leg shaver. What a pile of shit those things are. Get something like a gillette mach3 turbo. Anything with a macho name like that and over the top homoerotic advertising can't be anything but wonderful.

Wasn't the skort a band of dark age danish warriors?

Didn't JFK reference them in his "I am a doughnut" speech?

being a gal with juicy curvy thighs myself, and having recently completed my first sprint triathlon, i say do what the triathletes do.... use Bodyglide or one of the competing products ... they are specifically made to help reduce friction, chafing and blistering. you can get in in SF at Sports Basement (look near the wetsuits), it comes in a deoderant-type stick format, and they make little tiny ones you can carry with you in your camelback or playa handbag of choice.

bike shorts just suck 'cause no one gets a special peep when you spontaneously climb up on something!

I have it on good authority, a friend who knows exotic dancers, that if after you shave you put on the white solid anti-perspirent, you will not have shave bumps. Hey, if it is good enough for professional naked wimmen .... I doubt shaving on the playa itself would be ideal, just give yourself a good grooming right before you depart from home. In a pinch, lotion makes a good pre-dry shave application, but I wouldn't try it myself. Post shaving grey water, yuck.

I'm no expert anymore, just have heaps of odd trivia rattling away in the brainpan. I'm lucky if I get around to shaving my pits and legs, never mind the kitty. Heck, at my age, all cats are grey in the dark, and a good thing that is too!

I have a unique soloution which worked really well, although it is counter-inutive! I wore L'eggs support hose. It keeps the thighs from rubbing together, kept me cool - far cooler than I've ever been before, going nakid under my skirts, and I stayed dry (no pools of sweat that itch). Also, if you're not 20 anymore and your legs have veins or are real jiggly, it makes all the outfits look real nice, and it looks like you have a perfect tan. They're honestly not very detectable - hey, no one is looking for them. It's the last thing anyone would be expected to wear out there, right??? And they work!!!

If you're a girl, it is a good idea to take it off at night so things can breathe, but otherwise, it works like a charm.

Your friendly neighborhood fashion historian has to add her two cents...

Undergarments with crotches are a pretty recent invention-- up until about 100 years ago, women's drawers were basically two tubes that attached together at the waist-- a slit all the way from front to back. Racy! Just the thing for that special peep...

Being a thigh-full gal myself, I have to put my vote in for the bike shorts. I haven't quite been brave enough to try the split drawers... I've heard they're comfy, and just the thing for uncertain potty conditions, as long as you keep your knees wide as you squat...

Talc = BAD
Corn Starch = GOOD
(On authority from a beautiful, 5'2" 275lb chef: "You don't know what sweat is til' you're on the hot line in August.")

Gold Bond is a whole different barrel of lettuce.

Gillette just released a new VIBRATING Mach 3. (Oooo!)

And I hear there's a great product called 'Women's Intuition'. What a crappy name. It's a razor with the lube-stick-thing attached. I hear it works like a charm.

Hmmm.

This will be my fourth year going, although I am new to this message board thingy. My preferred method, having tried the undies, the shaving, the shorts, the powders...not to mention pants:

Wax the kitten to avoid ouchy pulling. Apply anti-perspirant to the thighs. Go commando for the lovely breezes.

Dude, I *run* five miles, three times a week. And I do martial arts training three times a week. And I get chafing between my thighs when I walk around in my kilt here in Seattle, let alone the playa. Add enough muscle to the thighs and they will rub together when one walks, especicaly if one's a guy and they lack those baby baring hips. If body parts are rubbing together, adding sweat will produce fricition and lead to chaffing, regardless of how much exercise one gets.

I personally am quite happy to see this thread, and learn a bit from it. I didn't even know anti-chaffing cream existed but plan on looking for it now. Anyone else get "runner's nipple?" My shirt rubbing against my sweaty nipples makes them chaff. I've got calluses on my nipples for crying out loud! Anti-chaffing cream for me....

I have seen nipple covers for men (I guess cause women will usually wear a jogbra) in our local jogging store. The store is a chain here in Canada and is called The Running Room, but I'm sure you can find these covers in other sporting goods stores in the States.

My husband suffers from the same problem you do, but hasn't actually used the covers I bought for him yet.

In an aside, these could be decorated at Pastie Camp....

I haven't yet made it to Pastie Camp myself, so I'm not sure if they have smaller pasties available for littler nipples...

If you've met me you know I'm fat, and I walk ALOT on the playa postal delivery after all! I also walk very FAST which leads to sweating. What I have found is the wearing as little as possible durring the day will keep the breeze blowing and the air will dry those sweaty thighs. The biggest chaffing risk for me is at night when I actually want to be warm. Best bet here is again a skimpy outfit and a LARGE coat. when you are walking wear the coat open so the breeze will dry the sweat. If you do wear underware and are unfortunate enough to get chaffing from that and not rubbing thighs any baby grade diper rash cream applied when you crash out for the night will solve your problem immediately. I have also tried the other reccomendations on this board and they all work just as well. I just like having yet another excuse to run around half nekkid.

I know this sounds weird, but I hate the feeling of sweaty loins and thighs, it's just *ugh!* never mind the heat rash you can get...my vote is for wearing L'eggs - the sheer to waist, tan color, support hose. Not regular panty hose - that won't work - but the support hose, no underwear, btw. it keeps you comfortable, makes your legs look tanned and feels awesome in the heat. i am not kidding about this. I wouldn't go without it. It is also almost (but not quite) undetectable. A great conversation starter, too, lol, as in "You're wearing PANTY HOSE?!~ omg, you must be soooo hot! Au contraire, mon frere. Ahhhhh.

A nurse friend that was in my camp a couple years ago offered me "incontinence cream." My first thought was that it was a cream that is supposed to prevent incontinence? how odd... but, um, apparently it's like a heavy duty diaper rash cream, and is great for chafed skin... Know anyone that works in a nursing home?
