A Guide to Anti-Chafing Underwear for Sensitive Skin

A Guide to Anti-Chafing Underwear for Sensitive Skin

When choosing underwear, comfort and functionality are key, especially for those with sensitive skin. Anti-chafing underwear can make all the difference by offering a smooth, irritation-free fit, no matter the occasion. At Hanky Panky we thoughtfully design all of our undies to prioritize softness, breathability, (and style!) to keep you comfortable all day long.


What Causes Chafing?

Chafing typically occurs when fabric or skin rubs together, creating friction. This can lead to irritation, redness, or even soreness—especially for those with sensitive skin. The right underwear minimizes this friction, offering a seamless, gentle barrier that feels like a second skin.


Features of Anti-Chafing Underwear

To effectively prevent chafing, look for underwear with these essential features:


Soft, Breathable Fabrics: Natural fibers like cotton or lightweight blends provide ventilation and wick away moisture.

Seamless Construction: Eliminate friction points with seamless designs that glide smoothly under clothes.

Wide, Flexible Waistbands: Avoid digging or pinching with soft, flexible waistbands that move with your body.

Full-Coverage Styles: Boyshorts or briefs provide maximum protection in areas prone to rubbing.

Explore Hanky Panky’s cotton boyshorts and seamless briefs for options designed to deliver all-day comfort and style.
