FAT TUESDAY: Anti-Chafing Solution - AMB

May 26th 2013.

I remember the day vividly. It was exactly one year after my brother had died. I had gone into the city to get a tattoo in his honor. And I’d love to tell you that I remember the day. That I felt the impact of the tattoo I got in his honor.

At this point, I was in the largest body I had ever been in. All the weight from my weight loss surgery had started to come back. I was amidst the most horrible grief I’ve ever survived —

I remember I didn’t talk to anyone about anyone.

I believed that this doesn’t happen to other people.

I remember finding a rogue reddit thread that mentioned how baby powder helped post the chaffing, but back then —

Fast forward to over a decade later - and there are so many options to treat and prevent chafing.

AMB had slid into my DMs a few weeks back — and I remember chuckling at their name. (I also remember laughing about it on this podcast of my podcast: Body Grief: Finding Meaning

I really love their smooth anti-friction chafing stick for those sensitive areas. I love how good it smells and the softness of the shea butter as it’s applied.

My other favorite solution is a two for one. The Anti Friction Body Powder is great as a chafing preventative — but i’ve been using to sooth chaffed skin. It’s soft calamine agent expedites healing of any chafed skin. Plus — it’s so on brand, as the powder it self is pink. ✨

Chaffing shouldn’t be shameful or painful.

AMB can help you with the pain —I can help you with the shame.
