Are You Exercising In The Correct Underwear?

EAST YORKSHIRE, U.K. - Jan. 26, 2015 - PRLog -- You may think that chafing is only for the plus size but this is not the case. Exercising in all forms causes chafing as you are sweating and repeating a rubbing action against the skin in a particular area of the body (usually the inner thighs), resulting in the skin becoming irritated and leading to chafing. "I created underwear in a sweat wicking fiber, which works similar to how a candle wicks away wax but this fiber (Coolmax) wicks away sweat. The underwear allows the body to breath, stay cool and dry whilst providing a barrier for the skin so that the repeated rubbing action is cushioned and the inner thighs protected." Amanda Whaley, founder.

The underwear has been specially designed to provide additional comfort with benefits such as; the seams of the gusset are on the outside and not on the inner thigh area. The double looped gusset (for extra breathability and air flow) is the full length of the inner leg on the boxer shorts and knickerboxers. Double stitched seams around the gusset area for additional strength. Long and short leg boxer shorts for men, midi and full briefs as well as long and short leg knickerboxers for women.” Amanda Whaley, founder.

Whaley had never designed underwear before Chaffree and admits that it was all new to her and quite stressful at times as there was a lot to think about. When designing it, she had a long list of requirements and demands that needed to be met for both men and women.  The initial samples were tested on family and friends until eventually in August 2014 the business was officially launched.

The underwear relieves chafing, is virtually seamless (has a sewn in gusset), and wicks away sweat from the body. The fabric can be stretched to accommodate people of different shapes and sizes from small to 3XL. The anti-bacterial, latex-free underwear is easy to care for, as it is machine washable and quick drying. It also has the additional benefits of no labels and wide waist bands for extra comfort as well as fitting snugly onto the body with minimal movement (even in the legs).

“The reviews we have had from customer has been truly amazing and I am delighted that people can now exercise in comfort. This underwear is so comfortable, you don’t even know you have it on as it is so lightweight. People are buying it for all kinds of sports and fitness classes as well as general daily wear for the comfort and wicking benefits alone, even though some admit chafing has never been an issue for them. I think people are finally coming around to the fact that cotton is not the best underwear to exercise in as it actually holds sweat and leaves the wearer feeling wet and cold. It can also quickly become stained, faded in colour, out of shape and in some cases can cause bacterial infections. They need to wear underwear which is breathable and wicking. They need to wear Chaffree.” Whaley.

“In only a few months we have had many repeated orders which is great. I am so pleased that I am helping people feel comfortable in their underwear and giving the freedom to exercise without buying and applying expensive powders and creams to avoid chafing. You buy chaffree underwear once and it will maintain its shape, colour, performance and benefits for hundreds of washes.” Whaley.
