The Overlooked Place You Might Be Chafing

The Overlooked Place You Might Be Chafing

3 MIN READ 

Let’s bust a myth: chafing isn’t just about weight. 

If you’ve ever felt a sharp sting or burning just behind your knees after a workout, walk, or hike, you’ve experienced it. This spot is one of the most under-discussed friction zones on the body. 

What’s Happening:

As your knees bend and rotate, the skin twists against itself—a motion called micro-torsion. Over time, especially with sweat, that friction causes redness, irritation, and discomfort. 

How to Prevent It: 

  • Look for a soothing balm that repels sweat and acts as a barrier 

  • Apply before activity to prevent chafing and heal skin 

  • Reapply as needed on hot, sweaty days 

That’s exactly why I created the chafe relief balm—a water-resistant, long-lasting formula designed for overlooked friction zones like behind the knees. It glides on easily, forms a protective barrier, and keeps you comfortable through any run, walk, or summer workout. 

Because every step should feel strong—not stingy.
